  CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY RELATING TO CUBA AND OF THE 
  EMERGENCY AUTHORITY RELATING TO THE REGULATION OF THE ANCHORAGE AND 
 MOVEMENT OF VESSELS--MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES 
                          (H. DOC. NO. 111-94)

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following message 
from the President of the United States; which was read and, together 
with the accompanying papers, referred to the Committee on Foreign 
Affairs and ordered to be printed:

To the Congress of the United States:
  Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)) 
provides for the automatic termination of a national emergency unless, 
prior to the anniversary date of its declaration, the President 
publishes in the Federal Register and transmits to the Congress a 
notice stating that the emergency is to continue in effect beyond the 
anniversary date. In accordance with this provision, I have sent the 
enclosed notice to the Federal Register for publication, stating that 
the national emergency declared with respect to the Government of 
Cuba's destruction of two unarmed U.S.-registered civilian aircraft in 
international airspace north of Cuba on February 24, 1996, as amended 
and expanded on February 26, 2004, is to continue in effect beyond 
March 1, 2010.
                                                        Barack Obama.  
The White House, February 23, 2010.
