                          PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE

                                 ______
                                 

  REPORT RELATIVE TO THE CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH 
RESPECT TO THE TERRORIST ATTACKS ON THE UNITED STATES OF SEPTEMBER 11, 
                              2001--PM 23

  The PRESIDING OFFICER laid before the Senate the following message 
from the President of the United States, together with an accompanying 
report; which was referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and 
Urban Affairs:

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 90 days 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 in Proclamation 7463 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, 2015, the national emergency with respect to the terrorist threat.
                                                        Barack Obama.  
The White House, September 10, 2015.
