                Notice of January 18, 1996

                
Continuation of Emergency Regarding Terrorists 
                Who
                Threaten To Disrupt the Middle East Peace Process

                On January 23, 1995, by Executive Order No. 12947, I 
                declared a national emergency to deal with the unusual 
                and extraordinary threat to the national security, 
                foreign policy, and economy of the United States 
                constituted by grave acts of violence committed by 
                foreign terrorists that disrupt the Middle East peace 
                process. By Executive Order No. 12947 of January 23, 
                1995, I blocked the assets in the United States, or in 
                the control of United States persons, of foreign 
                terrorists who threaten to disrupt the Middle East 
                peace process. I also prohibited transactions or 
                dealings by United States persons in such property. 
                Because terrorist activities continue to threaten the 
                Middle East peace process and vital interests of the 
                United States in the Middle East, the national 
                emergency declared on January 23, 1995, and the 
                measures that took effect on January 24, 1995, to deal 
                with that emergency must continue in effect beyond 
                January 23, 1996. Therefore, in accordance with section 
                202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 
                1622(d)), I am continuing the national emergency with 
                respect to foreign terrorists who threaten to disrupt 
                the Middle East peace process.

                This notice shall be published in the Federal Register 
                and transmitted to the Congress.

                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    January 18, 1996.
