   ACTIONS TO ORDER SELECTED RESERVE OF ARMED FORCES TO ACTIVE DUTY--
   MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (H. DOC. 104-144)

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following message 
from the President of the United States, which was read and, together 
with the accompanying papers, without objection, 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. 
  The White House, December 8, 1995.
