 CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO THE DEMOCRATIC 
REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO--MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES 
                          (H. DOC. NO. 116-75)

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Carson of Indiana) laid before the House 
the following message from the President of the United States; which 
was read and, together with the accompanying papers, referred to the 
Committee on Foreign Affairs and ordered to be printed:

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, 
within 90 days before 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 declared in 
Executive Order 13413 of October 27, 2006, is to continue in effect 
beyond October 27, 2019.
  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 declared in Executive Order 13413 with respect to 
the situation in or in relation to the Democratic Republic of the 
Congo.
                                                     Donald J. Trump.  
                                     The White House, October 22, 2019.
