are recognized and condemned in the above-referenced

Accordingly, I hereby terminate the national emergency
declared in Executive Order 12947 of January 23, 1995,
and revoke Executive Order 12947, as amended by
Executive Order 13099 of August 20, 1998. In order to
build upon the initial steps taken in Executive Order

to combat the continuing threat posed by international
terrorism, and in order to take additional steps to
deal with the national emergency declared in Executive
Order 13224 of September 23, 2001, with respect to the
continuing and immediate threat of grave acts of
terrorism and threats of terrorism committed by foreign
terrorists, which include acts of terrorism that
threaten the Middle East peace process, it is hereby
ordered as follows:
Section 1. Section 1 of Executive Order 13224 is hereby
amended to read as follows:

authorized to prohibit the opening, and prohibit or
impose strict conditions on the maintaining, in the
United States, of a correspondent account or payable-
through account of any foreign financial institution
that the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation
with the Secretary of State, has determined, on or
after the effective date of this order, has knowingly
conducted or facilitated any significant transaction on
behalf of any person whose property and interests in
property are blocked pursuant to this order.
(c) The prohibitions in subsections (a) and (b) of
this section apply except to the extent provided by

notwithstanding any contract entered into or any
