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 transacting with such property. The continuation was required under the National Emergencies Act because the underlying terrorist threat persisted beyond the original two-year expiration date.
