The White House,
Washington, September 7, 2023.
Hon. Kevin McCarthy,
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 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 to the Federal Register for publication the
enclosed notice stating that the national emergency with
respect to persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support
terrorism declared in Executive Order 13224 of September 23,
2001, as amended, is to continue in effect beyond September 23,
2023.
The crisis constituted by the grave acts of terrorism and
threats of terrorism committed by foreign terrorists, including
the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, in New York and
Pennsylvania and against the Pentagon, and the continuing and
immediate threat of further attacks on United States nationals
or the United States that led to the declaration of a national
emergency on September 23, 2001, has not been resolved. This
crisis continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to
the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the
United States. Therefore, I have determined that it is
necessary to continue the national emergency declared in
Executive Order 13224, as amended, with respect to persons who
commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism.
Sincerely,
Joseph R. Biden, Jr.

----------
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Persons Who
Commit, Threaten To Commit, or Support Terrorism
On September 23, 2001, by Executive Order 13224, 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 grave acts of terrorism and threats
of terrorism committed by foreign terrorists, including the
terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, in New York and
Pennsylvania and against the Pentagon, and the continuing and
immediate threat of further attacks against United States
nationals or the United States.
On September 9, 2019, the President signed Executive Order
13886 to strengthen and consolidate sanctions to combat the
continuing threat posed by international terrorism and to take
additional steps to deal with the national emergency declared
in Executive Order 13224, as amended.
The actions of persons who commit, threaten to commit, or
support terrorism continue 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 in Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001, as
amended, and the measures adopted to deal with that emergency,
must continue in effect beyond September 23, 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 persons who commit, threaten
to commit, or support terrorism declared in Executive Order
13224, as amended.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
The White House, September 7, 2023.
