                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.
