 CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO SUDAN--MESSAGE 
      FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (H. DOC. NO. 112-69)

  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 
Sudan emergency is to continue in effect beyond November 3, 2011.
  The crisis constituted by the actions and policies of the Government 
of Sudan that led to the declaration of a national emergency in 
Executive Order 13067 of November 3, 1997, and the expansion of that 
emergency in Executive Order 13400 of April 26, 2006, and with respect 
to which additional steps were taken in Executive Order 13412 of 
October 13, 2006, has not been resolved. These actions and policies are 
hostile to U.S. interests and continue to pose an unusual and 
extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the 
United States. Therefore, I have determined that it is necessary to 
continue the national emergency declared with respect to Sudan and 
maintain in force the sanctions against Sudan to respond to this 
threat.
                                                        Barack Obama.  
The White House, November 1, 2011.
