For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
February 27, 2002
Message 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 to the Federal Register for publication, which
states that the emergency declared with respect to the Government of
Cuba's 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, 2002.
GEORGE W. BUSH
THE WHITE HOUSE,
February 26, 2002.
