1622(d)

ordered to be printed
The White House,
Washington, DC, November 1, 2012.
Hon. John Boehner,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Speaker: 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 the 90-day
period 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 Sudan emergency is to
continue in effect beyond November 3, 2012.
The crisis constituted by the actions and policies of the
Government of Sudan that led to the declaration of a national
emergency in Executive Order 13067 of November 3, 1997, and the
expansion of that emergency in Executive Order 13400 of April
26, 2006, and with respect to which additional steps were taken
in Executive Order 13412 of October 13, 2006, has not been
resolved. These actions and policies are hostile to U.S.
interests and continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary
threat to the national security and foreign policy of the
United States. Therefore, I have determined that it is
necessary to continue the national emergency declared with
respect to Sudan and maintain in force the sanctions against
Sudan to respond to this threat.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama.
Notice
----------
Continuation of the National Emergency with Respect to Sudan
On November 3, 1997, by Executive Order 13067, the
President declared a national emergency with respect to Sudan
and, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers
Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706), took related steps to deal with the
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and
foreign policy of the United States posed by the actions and
policies of the Government of Sudan. On April 26, 2006, in
Executive Order 13400, the President determined that the
conflict in Sudan's Darfur region posed an unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign
policy of the United States, expanded the scope of the national
emergency to deal with that threat, and ordered the blocking of
property of certain persons connected to the conflict. On
October 13, 2006, the President issued Executive Order 13412 to
take additional steps with respect to the national emergency
and to implement the Darfur Peace and Accountability Act of
2006 (Public Law 109-344).
Because the actions and policies of the Government of Sudan
continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the
national security and foreign policy of the United States, the
national emergency declared on November 3, 1997, as expanded on
April 26, 2006, and with respect to which additional steps were
taken on October 13, 2006, must continue in effect beyond
November 3, 2012. Therefore, consistent 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
Sudan.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to Congress.
Barack Obama.
The White House, November 1, 2012.
