    Message to the Congress on Ordering the Selected Reserve of the Armed
    Forces to Active Duty
    December 8, 1995

    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.

    Note: The Executive order is listed in Appendix D at the end of this
    volume.
