                 Notice of February 25, 2020
                
                Continuation of the National Emergency With
                 Respect 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 United States-
                 registered civilian aircraft in international airspace
                 north of Cuba. On February 26, 2004, by Proclamation
                 7757, the national emergency was expanded to deny
                 monetary and material support to the Cuban government.
                 On February 24, 2016, by Proclamation 9398, and on
                 February 22, 2018, by Proclamation 9699, the national
                 emergency was further modified based on continued
                 disturbances or threatened disturbances of the
                 international relations of the United States related to
                 Cuba. The Cuban government has not demonstrated that it
                 will refrain from the use of excessive force against
                 United States vessels or aircraft that may engage in
                 memorial activities or peaceful protest north of Cuba.
                 In addition, the unauthorized entry of any United
                 States-registered vessel into Cuban territorial waters
                 continues to be detrimental to the foreign policy of
                 the United States because such entry could facilitate a
                 mass migration from Cuba. It continues to be United
                 States policy that a mass migration from Cuba would
                 endanger the security of the United States by posing a
                 disturbance or threatened disturbance of the
                 international relations 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,
                 Proclamation 9398, and Proclamation 9699.
