Notice of January 20, 1999
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. On August 20, 1998, by
Executive Order 13099, I identified four additional
persons, including Usama bin Ladin, that threaten to
disrupt the Middle East peace process. I have annually
transmitted notices of the continuation of this
national emergency to the Congress and the Federal
Register. Last year's notice of continuation was
published in the Federal Register on January 22, 1998.
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, 1999. 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 20, 1999.
