Relating to a national emergency declared by the President on October 27, 2006.

House Joint Resolution 68 is a measure that would formally end a national emergency regarding the Democratic Republic of the Congo that has been in place since 2006. By terminating this emergency declaration, the bill would lift the specific legal authority used by the U.S. government to block the assets and property of individuals determined to be contributing to the conflict in that region. For the average citizen, this change would primarily affect international sanctions enforcement and federal regulatory oversight of financial transactions involving the targeted individuals and entities.
