Designation of Afghanistan and the Airspace Above 
                as a Combat Zone

                Pursuant to the authority vested in me as President by 
                the Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, including section 112 of the Internal Revenue 
                Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. 112), I designate, for purposes 
                of that section, Afghanistan, including the airspace 
                above, as an area in which Armed Forces of the United 
                States are and have been engaged in combat.

                For purposes of this order, I designate September 19, 
                2001, as the date of the commencement of combatant 
                activities in such zone.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B

                THE WHITE HOUSE,
