                          PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE

                                 ______
                                 

     REPORT ON THE CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY THAT WAS 
ORIGINALLY DECLARED IN EXECUTIVE ORDER 13067 OF NOVEMBER 3, 1997, WITH 
RESPECT TO SUDAN, RECEIVED DURING ADJOURNMENT OF THE SENATE ON OCTOBER 
                            29, 2021--PM 15

  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. 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 Sudan declared in 
Executive Order 13067 of November 3, 1997, is to continue in effect 
beyond November 3, 2021.
  Sudan made strides in its transition toward democracy since 2019, but 
the military takeover of the government and arrest of civilian leaders 
now threaten those positive gains. The crisis that led to the 
declaration of a national emergency in Executive Order 13067; the 
expansion of that emergency in Executive Order 13400 of April 26, 2006; 
and the taking of additional steps with respect to that emergency in 
Executive Order 13412 of October 13, 2006, Executive Order 13761 of 
January 13, 2017, and Executive Order 13804 of July 11, 2017, has not 
been resolved. The situation in Darfur continues 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 in Executive 
Order 13067, as expanded by Executive Order 13400, with respect to 
Sudan.
                                                Joseph R. Biden, Jr.,  
The White House, October 28, 2021.
