                 Notice of October 19, 2020
                
                Continuation of the National Emergency With
                 Respect to Significant Narcotics Traffickers Centered
                 in Colombia
                 On October 21, 1995, by Executive Order 12978, the
                 President declared a national emergency with respect to
                 significant narcotics traffickers centered in Colombia
                 pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers
                 Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706) to deal with the unusual and
                 extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign
                 policy, and economy of the United States constituted by
                 the actions of significant narcotics traffickers
                 centered in Colombia and the extreme level of violence,
                 corruption, and harm such actions cause in the United
                 States and abroad.
                 The actions of significant narcotics traffickers
                 centered in Colombia continue to threaten the national
                 security, foreign policy, and economy of the United
                 States and cause an extreme level of violence,
                 corruption, and harm in the United States and abroad.
                 For this reason, the national emergency declared in
                 Executive Order 12978 of October 21, 1995, and the
                 measures adopted pursuant thereto to deal with that
                 emergency, must continue in effect beyond October 21,
                 2020. 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 significant narcotics traffickers centered
                 in Colombia declared in Executive Order 12978.
                 This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
                 and transmitted to the Congress.
                
                
                 (Presidential Sig.)
                 THE WHITE HOUSE,
                 October 19, 2020.
