    Letter to Congressional Leaders on Ordering the Selected Reserve of the
    Armed Forces to Active Duty
    September 15, 1994

    Dear Mr. Speaker:  (Dear Mr. President:)
        I have today, pursuant to section 673b 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 within 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. The deployment of United
    States forces to conduct operational missions to restore the civilian
    government in Haiti necessitates this action.
        A copy of the Executive order implementing this action is attached.
        Sincerely,

                                                          William J. Clinton

    Note: Identical letters were sent to Thomas S. Foley, Speaker of the
    House of Representatives, and Albert Gore, Jr., President of the Senate.
    The Executive order is listed in Appendix D at the end of this volume.
