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--MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES 
                          (H. DOC. NO. 114-12)

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following message 
from the President of the United States; which was read and, together 
with the accompanying papers, 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 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.
