  HIS DETERMINATION THAT IT IS NECESSARY TO AUGMENT THE ACTIVE ARMED

  December 11, 1995.--Message and accompanying papers referred to the 
        Committee on National Security and ordered to be printed
To the Congress of the United States:
    I have today, pursuant to section 12304 of title 10, United 
States Code, authorized 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 to perform such missions the Secretary of 
Defense may determine necessary. The deployment of United 
States forces to conduct operational missions in and around 
former Yugoslavia necessitates this action.
    A copy of the Executive order implementing this action is 
attached.

                                                William J. Clinton.

    By the authority vested in me as President by the 
Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, 
including sections 121 and 12304 of title 10, 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 operations in and around former Yugoslavia. 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 shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.

                                                William J. Clinton.
    The White House, December 8, 1995.
