Other Presidential Documents Notice of January 18, 2002 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 extraor- dinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States posed by grave acts of violence committed by foreign terror- ists who threaten to disrupt the Middle East peace process. On August 20, 1998, by Executive Order 13099, the President identified four additional persons, including Usama bin Laden, who threaten to disrupt the Middle East peace process. Because these terrorist activities continue to threaten the Middle East peace process and continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, the na- tional emergency declared on January 23, 1995, as expanded on August 20, 1998, and the measures adopted on those dates to deal with that emer- gency, must continue in effect beyond January 23, 2002. Therefore, in ac- cordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for i year 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. GEORGE W. BUSH THE WHITE HOUSE, January 18, 2002.
