 REPORT ON THE CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO 
 CUBA AND OF THE EMERGENCY AUTHORITY RELATING TO THE REGULATION OF THE 
          ANCHORAGE AND MOVEMENT OF VESSELS, AS AMENDED--PM 7

  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 the enclosed notice to the Federal Register for publication, 
stating that the national emergency declared on March 1, 1996, with 
respect to the Government of Cuba's destruction of two unarmed U.S.-
registered civilian aircraft in international airspace north of Cuba on 
February 24, 1996, as amended and expanded on February 26, 2004, is to 
continue in effect beyond March 1, 2015.
                                                        Barack Obama.  
The White House, February 25, 2015.
