 CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO SUDAN--MESSAGE 
      FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (H. DOC. NO. 113-70)

  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. 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, 2013.
  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, October 30, 2013.
