     REPORT ON THE CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY THAT WAS 
  ORIGINALLY DECLARED IN EXECUTIVE ORDER 13466 OF JUNE 26, 2008, WITH 
           RESPECT TO THE CURRENT EXISTENCE AND RISK OF THE 
                       PROLIFERATION OF WEAPONS-

  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 
national emergency declared in Executive Order 13466 of June 26, 2008, 
is to continue in effect beyond June 26, 2010.

  The existence and the risk of proliferation of weapons-usable fissile 
material on the Korean Peninsula constitute a continuing 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 and maintain certain restrictions 
with respect to North Korea and North Korean nationals.
                                                        Barack Obama.  
The White House, June 14, 2010.
