sexual orientation, it is hereby ordered that Executive Order 11478, as 
amended, is further amended as follows:
    Section 1. The first sentence of section 1 is amended by 
substituting ``age, or sexual orientation'' for ``or age''.
    Sec. 2. The second sentence of section 1 is amended by striking the 
period and adding at the end of the sentence ``, to the extent permitted 
by law.''.
