   CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO VENEZUELA--
  MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (H. DOC. NO. 117-99)

  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 declared in Executive Order 13692 
of March 8, 2015, with respect to the situation in Venezuela is to 
continue in effect beyond March 8, 2022.
  The situation in Venezuela 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 13692 with 
respect to the situation in Venezuela.
                                                 Joseph R. Biden, Jr.  
The White House, March 3, 2022.
