                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.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                     January 19, 2001.
