                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 extraordinary 
                threat to the national security, foreign policy, and 
                economy of the United States posed by grave acts of 
                violence committed by foreign terrorists 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 national emergency declared on January 23, 
                1995, as expanded on August 20, 1998, and the measures 
                adopted on those dates to deal with that emergency, 
                must continue in effect beyond January 23, 2002. 
                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 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.)B

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                     January 18, 2002.
