                                           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.
