Notice of January 21, 1997
Continuation of Emergency Regarding Terrorists
Who
Threaten To Disrupt the Middle East Peace Process
On January 23, 1995, by Executive Order 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 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 terrorists
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, 1997. 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.)
