Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Madam Speaker: Effective today, pursuant to section 
12304 of title 10, United States Code, I am authorizing the 
Secretary of Defense to order units and individual members of 
the Selected Reserve to active duty to augment active component 
forces for the effective conduct of ``Enhanced Department of 
Defense Counternarcotic Operation in the Western Hemisphere.'' 
This authority is necessary to ensure the Department of Defense 
can properly conduct operations required to meet our evolving 
security challenges.
    I have enclosed a copy of the Executive Order I issued.
            Sincerely,
                                                   Donald J. Trump.















                            Executive Order

                              ----------                              


    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 section 12304 of title 10, United States Code, and 
having determined that it is necessary to augment the regular 
Armed Forces of the United States for a named operational 
mission, specifically the ``Enhanced Department of Defense 
Counternarcotic Operation in the Western Hemisphere,'' I hereby 
order as follows:
    Section 1. Activation Authority. The Secretary of Defense 
is directed to order to active duty for not more than 365 
consecutive days, any units, and any individual members not 
assigned to a unit organized to serve as a unit, of the 
Selected Reserve under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of 
Defense, not to exceed 200 Selected Reservists at any one time, 
as he considers necessary.
    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 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.
    The White House, April 30, 2020.
