                                          Washington, May 13, 2020.
Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Madam 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 90 days 
before 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 securing the information and communications 
technology and services supply chain declared in Executive 
Order 13873 of May 15, 2019, is to continue in effect beyond 
May 15, 2020.
    The unrestricted acquisition or use in the United States of 
information and communications technology or services designed, 
developed, manufactured, or supplied by persons owned by, 
controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of 
foreign adversaries augments the ability of these foreign 
adversaries to create and exploit vulnerabilities in 
information and communications technology or services, with 
potentially catastrophic effects. This threat continues to pose 
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 declared in Executive Order 13873 with 
respect to securing the information and communications 
technology and services supply chain.
            Sincerely,
                                                   Donald J. Trump.

                              ----------                              


  Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Securing the 
  Information and Communications Technology and Services Supply Chain

    On May 15, 2019, by Executive Order 13873, I 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 posed by the 
unrestricted acquisition and use of certain information and 
communications technology and services transactions.
    The unrestricted acquisition or use in the United States of 
information and communications technology or services designed, 
developed, manufactured, or supplied by persons owned by, 
controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of 
foreign adversaries augments the ability of these foreign 
adversaries to create and exploit vulnerabilities in 
information and communications technology or services, with 
potentially catastrophic effects. This threat continues to pose 
an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, 
foreign policy, and economy of the United States. For this 
reason, the national emergency declared on May 15, 2019, must 
continue in effect beyond May 15, 2020. 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 declared in Executive Order 13873 with respect to 
securing the information and communications technology and 
services supply chain.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.

                                                   Donald J. Trump.
    The White House, May 13, 2020.
