Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C.

emergency unless, prior to the anniversary date of its
declaration, the President publishes in the Federal Register

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,

Notice
----------
Continuation of the National Emergency Relating to Cuba and of the
Emergency Authority Relating to the Regulation of the Anchorage and
Movement of Vessels
On March 1, 1996, by Proclamation 6867, President Clinton
declared a national emergency to address the disturbance or
threatened disturbance of international relations caused by the
February 24, 1996, destruction by the Government of Cuba of two
unarmed U.S.-registered civilian aircraft in international
airspace north of Cuba. In July 1996 and on subsequent
occasions, the Government of Cuba stated its intent to
forcefully defend its sovereignty against any U.S.-registered
vessels or aircraft that might enter Cuban territorial waters
or airspace while involved in a flotilla and peaceful protest.
Since these events, the Government of Cuba has not demonstrated
that it will refrain from the future use of reckless and
excessive force against U.S. vessels or aircraft that may
engage in memorial activities or peaceful protest north of
Cuba. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the
National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing
the national emergency with respect to Cuba and the emergency
authority relating to the regulation of the anchorage and
movement of vessels set out in Proclamation 6867.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
George W. Bush.
The White House, February 27, 2003.
