The White House,
Washington, October 20, 2017.
Hon. Paul D. Ryan,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Speaker: Pursuant to the National Emergencies Act
(50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), I report that I have signed an
Executive Order amending Executive Order 13223 (Ordering the
Ready Reserve of the Armed Forces to Active Duty and Delegating
Certain Authorities to the Secretary of Defense and the
Secretary of Transportation), which provided additional
authorities to certain executive departments and agencies in
furtherance of the national emergency declared in Proclamation
7463 of September 14, 2001 (Declaration of National Emergency
by Reason of Certain Terrorist Attacks). This amendment makes
available to the Secretaries concerned the authorities set
forth in section 688 and section 690 of title 10, United States
Code. In the case of the Secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air
Force, such authority shall be exercised subject to the
direction of the Secretary of Defense.
I have enclosed a copy of the Executive Order I have
issued.
Sincerely,
Donald J. Trump.
Executive Order

Amending Executive Order 13223
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 in furtherance of the objectives of Proclamation
7463 of September 14, 2001 (Declaration of National Emergency
by Reason of Certain Terrorist Attacks), which declared a
national emergency by reason of the terrorist attacks of
September 11, 2001, in New York and Pennsylvania and against
the Pentagon, and the continuing and immediate threat of
further attacks on the United States, and in order to provide
the Secretary of Defense additional authority to manage
personnel requirements in a manner consistent with the
authorization provided in Executive Order 13223 of September
14, 2001 (Ordering the Ready Reserve of the Armed Forces to
Active Duty and Delegating Certain Authorities to the Secretary
of Defense and the Secretary of Transportation), it is hereby
ordered as follows:
Section 1. Amendment to Executive Order 13223. Section 1 of
Executive Order 13223 is amended by adding at the end: ``The
authorities available for use during a national emergency under
sections 688 and 690 of title 10, United States Code, are also
invoked and made available, according to their terms, to the
Secretary concerned, subject in the case of the Secretaries of
the Army, Navy, and Air Force, to the direction of the
Secretary of Defense.''
Sec. 2. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall
be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive
department or agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of
Management and Budget relating to budgetary,
administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with
applicable law and subject to the availability of
appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any
right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law
or in equity by any party against the United States, its
departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or
agents, or any other person.
Donald J. Trump.
