Ordering the Selected Reserve of the
Armed Forces to Active Duty

By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, including sections 121 and 673b of title 10 of
the United States Code, I hereby determine that it is
necessary to augment the active armed forces of the
United States for the effective conduct of operational
missions to restore the civilian government in Haiti.
Further, under the stated authority, I hereby authorize
the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of
Transportation with respect to the Coast Guard when it
is not operating as a service in the Department of the
Navy, to order to active duty any units, and any
individual members not assigned to a unit organized to
serve as a unit, of the Selected Reserve.

This order is intended only to improve the internal
management of the executive branch, and is not intended
to create any right or benefit, substantive or
procedural, enforceable at law by a party against the
United States, its agencies, its officers, or any
person.

This order is effective immediately and shall be
published in the Federal Register and transmitted to
the Congress.
