                Notice of January 21, 1998

                
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. In 1996 and 1997, I 
                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 22, 1997. 
                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 that took effect on January 24, 1995, to deal 
                with that emergency must continue in effect beyond 
                January 23, 1998. 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, 1998.
