Notice of January 16, 2019

Continuation of the National Emergency With

Respect to Terrorists Who Threaten To Disrupt the

Middle East Peace Process

On January 23, 1995, by Executive Order 12947, the

President declared a national emergency pursuant to the

International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C.

1701-1706) to deal with the unusual and extraordinary

threat to the national security, foreign policy, and

economy of the United States caused by grave acts of

violence committed by foreign terrorists that disrupt

the Middle East peace process. On August 20, 1998, by

Executive Order 13099, the President modified the Annex

to Executive Order 12947 to identify four additional

persons who threaten to disrupt the Middle East peace

process. On February 16, 2005, by Executive Order

13372, the President clarified the steps taken in

Executive Order 12947.

Executive Order 13099, the President modified the Annex

to Executive Order 12947 to identify four additional

persons who threaten to disrupt the Middle East peace

process. On February 16, 2005, by Executive Order

Executive Order 12947.

These terrorist activities continue to threaten the

Middle East peace process and pose an unusual and

extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign

policy, and economy of the United States. For this

reason, the national emergency declared on January 23,

1995, and the measures adopted to deal with that

emergency must continue in effect beyond January 23,

2019. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of

the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am

continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared

in Executive Order 12947 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.)
