                Notice of January 21, 1997

                
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. By Executive Order 12947 of January 23, 1995, 
                I blocked 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. Because terrorists 
                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 that took effect on January 
                24, 1995, to deal with that emergency must continue in 
                effect beyond January 23, 1997. Therefore, in 
                accordance with section 202(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 21, 1997.
