                Notice of January 21, 2015

                
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 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 to 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, 
                2015. 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 21, 2015.
