To the Congress of the United States: 

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 situation in or in relation to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and 

the related measures blocking the property of certain persons contributing to the conflict in that country are to continue in effect beyond October 27, 2011. 

The situation in or in relation to the Democratic Republic of the 

Congo, which has been marked by widespread violence and atrocities that continue to threaten regional stability, continues to pose 

an unusual and extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the 

United States. For this reason, I have determined that it is necessary to continue the national emergency to deal with that threat 

and the related measures blocking the property of certain persons 

contributing to the conflict in that country. 

BARACK OBAMA. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, October 25, 2011.

NOTICE

CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO

THE SITUATION IN OR IN RELATION TO THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC

OF THE CONGO

On October 27, 2006, by Executive Order 13413, the President 

declared a national emergency with respect to the situation in or 

in relation to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and, pursuant 

to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 

1701–1706), ordered related measures blocking the property of certain persons contributing to the conflict in that country. The President took this action to deal with the unusual and extraordinary 

threat to the foreign policy of the United States constituted by the 

situation in or in relation to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 

which has been marked by widespread violence and atrocities that 

continue to threaten regional stability. 

Because this situation continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the United States, the national emergency declared on October 27, 2006, and the measures 

adopted on that date to deal with that emergency, must continue 

in effect beyond October 27, 2011. 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 13413. 

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

BARACK OBAMA. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, October 25, 2011.
