[None] Subchapter BÐAdministrative Orders Notice of January 2, 1998 Continuation of Libyan Emergency On January 7, 1986, by Executive Order 12543, President Reagan de- clared a national emergency to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States con- stituted by the actions and policies of the Government of Libya. On January 8, 1986, by Executive Order 12544, the President took additional measures to block Libyan assets in the United States. The President has transmitted a notice continuing this emergency to the Congress and the Federal Reg- ister every year since 1986. The crisis between the United States and Libya that led to the declara- tion of a national emergency on January 7, 1986, has not been resolved. The Government of Libya has continued its actions and policies in support of terrorism, despite the calls by the United Nations Security Council, in Resolutions 731 (1992), 748 (1992), and 883 (1993), that it demonstrate by concrete actions its renunciation of terrorism. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), 239 VerDate 18-JUN-99 11:04 Jul 30, 1999 Jkt 183005 PO 00000 Frm 00239 Fmt 8089 Sfmt 8089 Y:\SGML\183005T.XXX pfrm02 PsN: 183005T Title 3ÐThe President I am continuing the national emergency with respect to Libya.

Notice of January 21, 1998 Continuation of Emergency Regarding Terrorists Who Threaten To Disrupt the Middle East Peace Process On January 23, 1995, by Executive Order 12947, I declared a national emer- gency to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national se- curity, foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted by grave acts of violence committed by foreign terrorists that disrupt the Mid- dle East peace process. By Executive Order 12947 of January 23, 1995, I blocked the assets in the United States, or in the control of United States persons, of foreign terrorists who threaten to disrupt the Middle East peace process. I also prohibited transactions or dealings by United States persons in such property. In 1996 and 1997, I transmitted notices of the continu- ation of this national emergency to the Congress and the Federal Register. Last year's notice of continuation was published in the Federal Register on January 22, 1997. Because terrorist activities continue to threaten the Mid- dle East peace process and vital interests of the United States in the Middle East, the national emergency declared on January 23, 1995, and the meas- ures that took effect on January 24, 1995, to deal with that emergency must continue in effect beyond January 23, 1998. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing 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. WILLIAM J.
