 CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO IRAN--MESSAGE 
      FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (H. DOC. NO. 112-72)

  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 with respect to Iran that was declared in Executive 
Order 12170 of November 14, 1979, is to continue in effect beyond 
November 14, 2011.
  Our relations with Iran have not yet returned to normal, and the 
process of implementing the agreements with Iran, dated January 19, 
1981, is still under way. For these reasons, I have determined that it 
is necessary to continue the national emergency declared on November 
14, 1979, with respect to Iran, beyond November 14, 2011.
                                                        Barack Obama.  
The White House, November 7, 2011.
