    Individual Ready Reserve Members of the Armed Forces to
    Active Duty

        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 the former Yugoslavia
    related to the conflict in Kosovo. Further, under the stated authority,
    I hereby authorize 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, under their respective
    jurisdictions, 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, or any member in the Individual Ready Reserve
    mobilization category and designated as essential under regulations
    prescribed by the Secretary concerned, and to terminate the service of
    those units and members ordered to active duty.
        This order is intended only to improve the internal management of
    the executive branch and is not intended to create any right or benefit,
    substantive or procedural, enforceable at law by a party against the
    United States, its agencies, its officers, or any person.
