Executive Order 13235 of November 16, 2001

National Emergency Construction Authority

By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, including the National Emergencies Act (50
U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and section 301 of title 3,
United States Code, I declared a national emergency
that requires the use of the Armed Forces of the United
States, by Proclamation 7463 of September 14, 2001,
because of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon, and because of the continuing
and immediate threat to the national security of the
United States of further terrorist attacks. To provide
additional authority to the Department of Defense to
respond to that threat, and in accordance with section
301 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1631), I
hereby order that the emergency construction authority
at 10 U.S.C. 2808 is invoked and made available in
accordance with its terms to the Secretary of Defense
and, at the discretion of the Secretary of Defense, to
the Secretaries of the military departments.
