CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO THE SITUATION IN 
ZIMBABWE--MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (H. DOC. NO. 
                                113-14)

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following message 
from the President of the United States; which was read and 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 13288 
of March 6, 2003, with respect to the actions and policies of certain 
members of the Government of Zimbabwe and other persons to undermine 
Zimbabwe's democratic processes or institutions is to continue in 
effect beyond March 6, 2013.

  The crisis constituted by the actions and policies of certain members 
of the Government of Zimbabwe and other persons to undermine Zimbabwe's 
democratic processes or institutions has not been resolved. These 
actions and policies continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary 
threat to the foreign policy of the United States. For these reasons, I 
have determined that it is necessary to continue this national 
emergency and to maintain in force the sanctions to respond to this 
threat.
                                                        Barack Obama.  
The White House, March 1, 2013.
