 CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO IRAN--MESSAGE 
      FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (H. DOC. NO. 113-72)

  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, 
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 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, 2013.
  Because 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, I have determined that it is necessary to 
continue the national emergency declared in Executive Order 12170 with 
respect to Iran.
                                                        Barack Obama.  
The White House, November 12, 2013.
