                Notice of March 3, 2016

                
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. The 
                situation described in Executive Order 13692 has not 
                improved. 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,

                    March 3, 2016.
