                 Notice of January 16, 2019
                
                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 caused by grave acts of
                 violence committed by foreign terrorists that 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 who threaten to disrupt the Middle East peace
                 process. On February 16, 2005, by Executive Order
                 13372, the President clarified the steps taken in
                 Executive Order 12947.
                 These terrorist activities continue to threaten the
                 Middle East peace process and pose an unusual and
                 extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign
                 policy, and economy of the United States. For this
                 reason, the national emergency declared on January 23,
                 1995, and the measures adopted to deal with that
                 emergency must continue in effect beyond January 23,
                 2019. 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 declared
                 in Executive Order 12947 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 16, 2019.
