  November 2, 2012.--Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and 
                         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.
