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 the enclosed notice to the Federal Register for publication, stating that the national emergency declared with respect to 

the Government of Cuba’s destruction of two unarmed U.S.-registered civilian aircraft in international airspace north of Cuba on 

February 24, 1996, as amended and expanded on February 26, 

2004, is to continue in effect beyond March 1, 2010.

NOTICE

CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY RELATING TO CUBA

AND OF THE EMERGENCY AUTHORITY RELATING TO THE REGULATION OF THE ANCHORAGE AND MOVEMENT OF VESSELS

On March 1, 1996, by Proclamation 6867, a national emergency 

was declared to address the disturbance or threatened disturbance 

of international relations caused by the February 24, 1996, destruction by the Cuban government of two unarmed U.S.-registered civilian aircraft in international airspace north of Cuba. On February 

26, 2004, by Proclamation 7757, the national emergency was extended and its scope was expanded to deny monetary and material 

support to the Cuban government. The Cuban government has not 

demonstrated that it will refrain from the use of excessive force 

against U.S. vessels or aircraft that may engage in memorial activities or peaceful protest north of Cuba. And the unauthorized entry 

of any U.S.-registered vessel into Cuban territorial waters continues to be detrimental to the foreign policy of the United States. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing the national emergency with respect to Cuba and the emergency authority relating 

to the regulation of the anchorage and movement of vessels set out 

in Proclamation 6867 as amended by Proclamation 7757. 

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

BARACK OBAMA. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, February 23, 2010.
