REPORT RELATIVE TO THE CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY DECLARED 
 IN EXECUTIVE ORDER 12938 WITH RESPECT TO THE PROLIFERATION OF WEAPONS 
                       OF MASS DESTRUCTION--PM 28

  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, 
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 
emergency posed by the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and 
their means of delivery declared by Executive Order 12938 on November 
14, 1994, as amended, is to continue in effect beyond November 14, 
2005. The most recent notice continuing this emergency was signed on 
November 4, 2004, and published in the Federal Register on November 8, 
2004 (69 FR 64637) .
  Because the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the 
means of delivering them continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary 
threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the 
United States, I have determined the national emergency previously 
declared must continue in effect beyond November 14, 2005.
                                                      George W. Bush.  
The White House, October 25, 2005.
