                Military Commission

                By the authority vested in me as President by the

                Military Force (Public Law 107-40), and section 948b(b) 
                of title 10, United States Code, it is hereby ordered 
                as follows:

                Section 1. Establishment of Military Commissions. There 
                are hereby established military commissions to try 
                alien unlawful enemy combatants for offenses triable by 
                military commission as provided in chapter 47A of title 
                10.

                Sec. 2. Definitions. As used in this order:

                (a) ``unlawful enemy combatant'' has the meaning 
                provided for that term in section 948a(1) of title 10; 
                and

                (b) ``alien'' means a person who is not a citizen of 
                the United States.

                by military commission, specifically including:

                determination of:

                (i) reason to believe specified matters; or

                (ii) the interest of the United States.
