                Notice of January 13, 2017

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to Venezuela

                On March 8, 2015, I issued Executive Order 13692, 
                declaring a national emergency with respect to the 
                situation in Venezuela, including the Government of 
                Venezuela's erosion of human rights guarantees, 
                persecution of political opponents, curtailment of 
                press freedoms, use of violence and human rights 
                violations and abuses in response to antigovernment 
                protests, and arbitrary arrest and detention of 
                antigovernment protestors, as well as the exacerbating 
                presence of significant government corruption. 
                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 13692.

                This notice shall be published in the Federal Register 
                and transmitted to the Congress.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    January 13, 2017.
