Notice of October 20, 2009
Continuation of the National Emergency with
Respect to the Situation in or in Relation 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 that continue to threaten regional stability.
Because this situation continues to pose an unusual and
extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the
United States, the national emergency declared on
October 27, 2006, and the measures adopted on that date
to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect
beyond October 27, 2009. 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 declared in Executive Order 13413.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.
(Presidential Sig.)
