Continuation of Emergency Regarding Terrorists Who Threaten To Disrupt the Middle East Peace Process

President Clinton continued for another year the national emergency declared in Executive Order 12947, which blocks assets of foreign terrorists threatening the Middle East peace process and prohibits U.S. persons from dealing in such property. The original emergency was set to expire on January 23, 1996, and this notice extends it beyond that date under the National Emergencies Act.
