CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO THE SITUATION IN 
NICARAGUA--MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (H. DOC. NO. 
                                117-75)

  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 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 the situation in 
Nicaragua declared in Executive Order 13851 of November 27, 2018, is to 
continue in effect beyond November 27, 2021.
  The situation in Nicaragua, including the violent response by the 
Government of Nicaragua to the protests that began on April 18, 2018, 
and the Ortega regime's systematic dismantling and undermining of 
democratic institutions and the rule of law, its use of indiscriminate 
violence and repressive tactics against civilians, as well as its 
corruption leading to the destabilization of Nicaragua's economy, 
continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national 
security and foreign policy of the United States. For this reason, I 
have determined that it is necessary to continue the national emergency 
declared in Executive Order 13851 with respect to the situation in 
Nicaragua.
                                                 Joseph R. Biden, Jr.  
The White House, November 16, 2021.
