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.
