   CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO SPECIFIED 
      HARMFUL FOREIGN ACTIVITIES OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE RUSSIAN 
 FEDERATION--MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (H. DOC. 
                              NO. 118-130)

  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 specified harmful 
foreign activities of the Government of the Russian Federation declared 
in Executive Order 14024 of April 15, 2021, which was expanded in scope 
in Executive Order 14066 of March 8, 2022, and with respect to which 
additional steps were taken in Executive Order 14039 of August 20, 
2021, Executive Order 14068 of March 11, 2022, Executive Order 14071 of 
April 6, 2022, and Executive Order 14114 of December 22, 2023, is to 
continue in effect beyond April 15, 2024.
  Specified harmful foreign activities of the Government of the Russian 
Federation--in particular, efforts to undermine the conduct of free and 
fair democratic elections and democratic institutions in the United 
States and its allies and partners; to engage in and facilitate 
malicious cyber-enabled activities against the United States and its 
allies and partners; to foster and use transnational corruption to 
influence foreign governments; to pursue extraterritorial activities 
targeting dissidents or journalists; to undermine security in countries 
and regions important to United States national security; and to 
violate well-established principles of international law, including 
respect for the territorial integrity of states--continue to pose an 
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign 
policy, and economy of the United States. Therefore, I have determined 
that it is necessary to continue the national emergency declared in 
Executive Order 14024 with respect to specified harmful foreign 
activities of the Government of the Russian Federation.
                                                Joseph R. Biden, Jr.,  
The White House, April 9, 2024.
