Notice of January 20, 2010
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 constituted 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 modified the Annex to Executive Order 12947
to identify 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 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, and
the measures adopted on that date and on August 20,
1998, to deal with that emergency must continue in
effect beyond January 23, 2010. 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.)
THE WHITE HOUSE,
January 20, 2010.
