Official record excerpt
( printed page 21905) Notice of May 8, 2017 Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Yemen On May 16, 2012, by Executive Order 13611 , the President declared a national emergency 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 and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the actions and policies of certain members of the Government of Yemen and others. These actions and policies threatened Yemen's peace, security, and stability, including by obstructing the political process in Yemen and the implementation of the agreement of November 23, 2011, between the Government of Yemen and those in opposition to it, which provided for a peaceful transition of power that meets the legitimate demands and aspirations of the Yemeni people for change. The actions and policies of certain members of the Government of Yemen and others in threatening Yemen's peace, security, and stability continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. For this reason, the national emergency declared on May 16, 2012, to deal with that threat must continue in effect beyond May 16, 2017. 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 13611 . This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress. THE WHITE HOUSE, May 8, 2017. [ FR Doc. 2017-09635 Filed 5-9-17; 11:15 am] Billing code 3295-F7-P

How to use this page
This is a source-record entry, not a truth-rating by itself. It preserves the action, date and original government publication so it can be connected to later claims, implementation records, court decisions, costs and measurable outcomes. Editorial claim reviews on this site use separate finding labels and explain the evidence for those findings.
