                Notice of October 17, 2018



                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 

                Respect to Significant Narcotics Traffickers Centered 

                in Colombia



                On October 21, 1995, by Executive Order 12978, the 

                President declared a national emergency with respect to 

                significant narcotics traffickers centered in Colombia, 

                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, foreign 

                policy, and economy of the United States constituted by 

                the actions of significant narcotics traffickers 

                centered in Colombia and the extreme level of violence, 

                corruption, and harm such actions cause in the United 

                States and abroad.



                The actions of significant narcotics traffickers 

                centered in Colombia continue to threaten the national 

                security, foreign policy, and economy of the United 

                States and cause an extreme level of violence, 

                corruption, and harm in the United States and abroad. 

                For this reason, the national emergency declared in 

                Executive Order 12978 of October 21, 1995, and the 

                measures adopted pursuant thereto to deal with that 

                emergency, must continue in effect beyond October 21, 

                2018. 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 with 

                respect to significant narcotics traffickers centered 

                in Colombia declared in Executive Order 12978.



                This notice shall be published in the Federal Register 

                and transmitted to the Congress.

                

                

                    (Presidential Sig.)



                THE WHITE HOUSE,



                    October 17, 2018.
