    CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN 
TERRORIST ATTACKS--MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (H. 
                           DOC. NO. 112-138)

  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, 
within the 90-day period 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. Consistent with this 
provision, I have sent to the Federal Register the enclosed notice, 
stating that the emergency declared with respect to the terrorist 
attacks on the United States of September 11, 2001, is to continue in 
effect for an additional year.
  The terrorist threat that led to the declaration on September 14, 
2001, of a national emergency continues. For this reason, I have 
determined that it is necessary to continue in effect after September 
14, 2012, the national emergency with respect to the terrorist threat.
                                                        Barack Obama.  
The White House, September 11, 2012.
