    By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and 
the laws of the United States of America, including sections 121 and 
12304 of title 10, United States Code, I hereby determine that it is 
necessary to augment the active armed forces of the United States for 
the effective conduct of operations in and around Southwest Asia. 
Further, under the stated authority, I hereby authorize the Secretary of 
Defense, and the Secretary of Transportation with respect to the Coast
