Bill Clinton: “Respect to Cuba February 24, 1999 To the Congress of the United States: Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act…”

“Respect to Cuba February 24, 1999 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 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, 1999, to the Federal Register for publication. William J. Clinton The White House, February 24, 1999.”
