Message to the Congress of the United States
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,
prior to 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 the
enclosed notice, stating that the emergency declared with respect to
the Government of Cubas destruction of two unarmed U.S.-registered
civilian aircraft in international airspace north of Cuba on February
24, 1996, is to continue in effect beyond March 1, 2003, to the Federal
Register for publication.
GEORGE W. BUSH
THE WHITE HOUSE, February 27, 2003.
