  CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO NORTH KOREA--
  MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (H. DOC. NO. 112-40)

  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 to the 
Federal Register for publication the enclosed notice stating that the 
national emergency declared in Executive Order 13466 of June 26, 2008, 
expanded in scope in Executive Order 13551 of August 30, 2010, and 
addressed further in Executive Order 13570 of April 18, 2011, is to 
continue in effect beyond June 26, 2011.
  The existence and the risk of proliferation of weapons-usable fissile 
material on the Korean Peninsula, and the actions and policies of the 
Government of North Korea that destabilize the Korean Peninsula and 
imperil U.S. Armed Forces, allies, and trading partners in the region, 
continue to constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the 
national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. 
For these reasons, I have determined that it is necessary to continue 
the national emergency with respect to these threats and maintain in 
force the measures taken to deal with that national emergency.
                                                        Barack Obama.  
The White House, June 23, 2011.
