                Notice of October 17, 2023

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to Significant Narcotics Traffickers Centered 
                in Colombia

                On October 21, 1995, by Executive Order 12978, the 
                President declared a national emergency pursuant to the 
                International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 
                1701 et seq.) to deal with the unusual and 
                extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign 
                policy, and economy of the United States constituted by 
                the actions of significant narcotics traffickers 
                centered in Colombia and the extreme level of violence, 
                corruption, and harm such actions cause in the United 
                States and abroad.

                The actions of significant narcotics traffickers 
                centered in Colombia continue to pose an unusual and 
                extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign 
                policy, and economy of the United States and cause an 
                extreme level of violence, corruption, and harm in the 
                United States and abroad. For this reason, the national 
                emergency declared in Executive Order 12978 of October 
                21, 1995, must continue in effect beyond October 21, 
                2023. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of 
                the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am 
                continuing for 1 year the national emergency with 
                respect to significant narcotics traffickers centered 
                in Colombia declared in Executive Order 12978.

                This notice shall be published in the Federal Register 
                and transmitted to the Congress.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    October 17, 2023.
