Plain-language summary
Amends Executive Order 12947, which declared a national emergency over violence disrupting the Middle East peace process, by renaming its annex list to "Terrorists Who Threaten to Disrupt the Middle East Peace Process" and adding named individuals and groups to it, including Usama bin Ladin, the network described as Al-Qaida and its associated names, Abu Hafs al-Masri, and Rifa'i Ahmad Taha Musa. Being added to the list subjects those named to the transaction and property restrictions already established under Executive Order 12947. The order states it creates no enforceable rights or benefits for any party against the United States or its officials, and specifies it takes effect at 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on August 21, 1998, with transmission to Congress and publication in the Federal Register.

Legal standing
Not yet published. Court challenges, injunctions and rulings tied to individual orders will appear here once each can be linked to its source record.
Nothing appears in this space without a citation to a court action or a cited precedent. An order with no such record is described as untested, never as likely or unlikely to survive.
Claimed authority
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code
Quoted from the order as written. Many orders cite nothing more specific than “the Constitution and the laws”; this reproduces what the order claims, not an assessment of whether it holds.
Disposition
Amends: EO 12947, January 23, 1995 See: EO 13371, February 16, 2005; Notice of January 19, 2000; Notice of January 19, 2001; Notice of January 18, 2002; Notice of January 20, 2003; Notice of January 16, 2004; Notice of January 17, 2005; Notice of January 18, 2006; Notice of January 18, 2007; Notice of January 18, 2008; Notice of January 15, 2009; Notice of January 20, 2010
Compiled after the fact by the National Archives, so recent orders often have none yet. An empty disposition means no record, not no activity.
