Notice of January 19, 2001
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. The order, issued pursuant to the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act, among
other authorities, blocks 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, who
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 21,
2000. 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 made effective on January 24, 1995, to deal
with that emergency must continue in effect beyond
January 23, 2001. Therefore, in accordance with section
202(d)2 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C.
1622(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.)
