Closing of Executive Departments and Agencies of 
                the Federal Government on Friday, December 26, 2014

                By the authority vested in me as President of the 
                United States of America, by the Constitution and the 
                laws of the United States, it is hereby ordered as 
                follows:

                Section 1. All executive branch departments and 
                agencies of the Federal Government shall be closed and 
                their employees excused from duty on Friday, December 
                26, 2014, the day after Christmas Day, except as 
                provided in section 2 of this order.

                Sec. 2. The heads of executive branch departments and 
                agencies may determine that certain offices and 
                installations of their organizations, or parts thereof, 
                must remain open and that certain employees must report 
                for duty on December 26, 2014, for reasons of national 
                security, defense, or other public need.

                Sec. 3. Friday, December 26, 2014, shall be considered 
                as falling within the scope of Executive Order 11582 of 
                February 11, 1971, and of 5 U.S.C. 5546 and 6103(b) and 
                other similar statutes insofar as they relate to the 
                pay and leave of employees of the United States.

                Sec. 4. The Director of the Office of Personnel 
                Management shall take such actions as may be necessary 
                to implement this order.

                Sec. 5. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order 
                shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

                appropriations.

                create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, 
                enforceable at law or in equity by any party against 
                the United States, its departments, agencies, or
