The text of the Executive Order is here:

You're right in that the assassination provision does not mention foreign government leaders.

"2.11 Prohibition on Assassination. No person employed by or acting on behalf of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassination."

If you look at the date of this EO some of you may be surpised! Dec 4, 1981.

This link includes the name of the signatory president at the bottom of the page:

This gets more interesting all the time.
