Title 3—

The President

Executive Order 13001 of May 8, 1996

Establishing an Emergency Board To Investigate a Dispute

Between Certain Railroads Represented by the National Railway Labor Conference and Their Employees Represented by

the Transportation Communications International Union

A dispute exists between certain railroads represented by the National Railway Labor Conference and their employees represented by the Transportation

Communications International Union. The railroads involved in this dispute

are designated on the attached list, which is made a part of this order.

This dispute has not heretofore been adjusted under the provisions of the

Railway Labor Act, as amended (45 U.S.C. 151 et seq.) (the ‘‘Act’’).

In the judgment of the National Mediation Board, this dispute threatens

substantially to interrupt interstate commerce to a degree that would deprive

a section of the country of essential transportation service.

NOW, THEREFORE, by the authority vested in me as President by the

Constitution and the laws of the United States, including section 10 of

the Act (45 U.S.C. 160), it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Establishment of Emergency Board (‘‘Board’’). There is established

effective May 8, 1996, a Board of three members to be appointed by the

President to investigate the dispute. No member shall be pecuniarily or

otherwise interested in any organization of railroad employees or any railroad

carrier. The Board shall perform its functions subject to the availability

of funds.

Sec. 2. Report. The Board shall report to the President with respect to

the dispute within 30 days of its creation.

Sec. 3. Maintaining Conditions. As provided by section 10 of the Act, from

the date of the creation of the Board and for 30 days after the Board

has made its report to the President, no change, except by agreement of

the parties shall be made by the railroads or the employees in the conditions

out of which the dispute arose.

Sec. 4. Records Maintenance. The records and files of the Board are records

of the Office of the President and upon the Board’s termination shall be

maintained in the physical custody of the National Mediation Board.

Sec. 5. Expiration. The Board shall terminate upon the submission of the

THE WHITE HOUSE,

May 8, 1996.

report provided for in sections 2 and 3 of this order.
