Background
On January 23, 1995, President Clinton signed Executive Order
12947, ``Prohibiting Transactions with Terrorists Who Threaten to
Disrupt the Middle East Peace Process'' (60 FR 5079, Jan. 25, 1995--the
``Order'' or ``E.O. 12947''). The Order blocks all property subject to
U.S. jurisdiction in which there is any interest of 12 Middle East
terrorist organizations included in an Annex to the Order. In addition,
the Order blocks the property and interests in property of persons
designated by the Secretary of State, in coordination with the
Secretary of Treasury and the Attorney General, who are found 1) to
have committed or to pose a significant risk of disrupting the Middle
East peace process, or 2) to assist in, sponsor or provide financial,
material, or technological support for, or services in support of, such
acts of violence. The order further blocks all property and interests
in property subject to U.S. jurisdiction in which there is any interest
of persons determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in coordination
with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, to be owned or
controlled by, or to act for or on behalf of any other person
designated pursuant to the Order (collectively ``Specially Designated
Terrorists'' or ``SDTs'').
The order also prohibits any transaction or dealing by a United
States person or within the United States in property or interests in
property of SDTs, including the making or receiving of any contribution
of funds, goods, or services to or for the benefit of such persons.
Designations of persons blocked pursuant to the Order are effective
upon the date of determination by the Secretary of State or his
delegate, or the Director of the Office of Foreign Assets Control
acting under authority delegated by the Secretary of the Treasury.
Public notice of blocking is effective upon the date of publication in
the Federal Register, or upon prior actual notice.
