     REPORT OF THE CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY THAT WAS 
  ORIGINALLY DECLARED IN EXECUTIVE ORDER 13405 OF JUNE 16, 2006, WITH 
                       RESPECT TO BELARUS--PM 33

  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 Belarus that was 
declared in Executive Order 13405 of June 16, 2006, which was expanded 
in scope in Executive Order 14038 of August 9, 2021, is to continue in 
effect beyond June 16, 2022.
  The actions and policies of certain members of the Government of 
Belarus and other persons, and the Belarusian regime's harmful 
activities and long-standing abuses, continue 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 13405 with 
respect to Belarus.
                                                 Joseph R. Biden, Jr.  
The White House, June 13, 2022.
