                 Notice of October 22, 2019
                
                Continuation of the National Emergency With
                 Respect 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 and continues to threaten
                 regional stability. The President took additional steps
                 to address this national emergency in Executive Order
                 13671 of July 8, 2014.
                 The situation in or in relation to the Democratic
                 Republic of the Congo continues to pose an unusual and
                 extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the
                 United States. For this reason, the national emergency
                 declared in Executive Order 13413 of October 27, 2006,
                 as amended by Executive Order 13671 of July 8, 2014,
                 and the measures adopted to deal with that emergency,
                 must continue in effect beyond October 27, 2019.
                 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 with
                 respect to the situation in or in relation to the
                 Democratic Republic of the Congo declared in Executive
                 Order 13413, as amended by Executive Order 13671.
                 This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
                 and transmitted to the Congress.
                
                
                 (Presidential Sig.)
                 THE WHITE HOUSE,
                 October 22, 2019.
