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, 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 the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction 

that was declared in Executive Order 12938, as amended, is to continue in effect for 1 year beyond November 14, 2010. 

Sincerely, 

BARACK OBAMA.

NOTICE

CONTINUATION OF EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO WEAPONS OF

MASS DESTRUCTION

On November 14, 1994, by Executive Order 12938, the President 

declared a national emergency with respect to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States posed by the proliferation of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons (weapons of mass destruction) and 

the means of delivering such weapons. On July 28, 1998, the President issued Executive Order 13094 amending Executive Order 

12938 to respond more effectively to the worldwide threat of weapons of mass destruction proliferation activities. On July 28, 2005, 

the President issued Executive Order 13382 which, inter alia, further amended Executive Order 12938 to improve our ability to combat proliferation. The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction 

and the means of delivering them continues to pose an unusual 

and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, 

and economy of the United States; therefore, the national emergency first declared on November 14, 1994, and extended in each 

subsequent year, must continue. 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 12938, as amended. 

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress. 

BARACK OBAMA. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, November 4, 2010.
