     REPORT ON THE CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY THAT WAS 
  ORIGINALLY DECLARED IN EXECUTIVE ORDER 13466 OF JUNE 26, 2008, WITH 
RESPECT TO NORTH KOREA, AS RECEIVED DURING RECESS OF THE SENATE ON JUNE 
                            20, 2014--PM 47

  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 North Korea that 
was declared in Executive Order (E.O.) 13466 of June 26, 2008, expanded 
in scope in E.O. 13551 of August 30, 2010, and addressed further in 
E.O. 13570 of April 18, 2011, is to continue in effect beyond June 26, 
2014.
  The existence and risk of proliferation of weapons-usable fissile 
material on the Korean Peninsula, and the actions and policies of the 
Government of North Korea that destabilize the Korean Peninsula and 
imperil U.S. Armed Forces, allies, and trading partners in the region, 
continue to constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the 
national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. 
For this reason, I have determined that it is necessary to continue the 
national

emergency with respect to North Korea.
                                                        Barack Obama.  
The White House, June 20, 2014.
