                          PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE

                                 ______
                                 

 REPORT ON THE CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO 
 PERSONS WHO COMMIT, THREATEN TO COMMIT, OR SUPPORT TERRORISM THAT WAS 
   ESTABLISHED IN EXECUTIVE ORDER 13224 ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2001--PM 30

  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 before 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 persons who commit, 
threaten to commit, or support terrorism declared in Executive Order 
13224 of September 23, 2001, is to continue in effect beyond September 
23, 2019.
  The crisis constituted by the grave acts of terrorism and threats of 
terrorism committed by foreign terrorists, including the terrorist 
attacks on September 11, 2001, in New York and Pennsylvania and against 
the Pentagon, and the continuing and immediate threat of further 
attacks on United States nationals or the United States that led to the 
declaration of a national emergency on September 23, 2001, has not been 
resolved. This crisis continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary 
threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the 
United States. For this reason, I have determined that it is necessary 
to continue the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13224 
with respect to persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support 
terrorism.
                                                     Donald J. Trump.  
The White House, September 19, 2019.
