prec. 1. 
Continuance of 
c e r t a i n statutory 
provisions. 
Whereas the existing state of war with Japan is the last declared state 
of war to which the United States is a party and the termination 
thereof and of the national emergencies proclaimed in 1939 and 
1941 would render certain statutory provisions inoperative; and 
Whereas some of these statutory provisions are needed to insure the 
national security and the capacity of the United States to support 
the United Nations in its efforts to establish and maintain w^orld 
peace; and 
Whereas, in view of the impending termination of this state of war, it is 
desirable to extend these needed statutory provisions immediately 
until June 1, 1952, to permit further consideration of a more 
extended continuation: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved hy the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled^ That notwithstanding the 
termination hereafter of the war with Japan declared December 8, 
1941 (55 Stat. 795), and of the national emergencies proclaimed by the 
President on September 8,1939 (Proc. 2352,54 Stat. 2643), and on May 
27, 1941 (Proc. 2487, 55 Stat. 1647), and notwithstanding any procla-
mation of peace with respect to such war— 
(a) Except insofar as they otherwise have further effectiveness the 
following statutory provisions and the authorizations conferred and 
liabilities imposed thereby shall remain in full force and effect to and 
including June 1, 1952, notwithstanding any other terminal date or 
provision of law with respect to such statutory provisions and notwith-
standing any limitation, by reference to war or national emergency, of 
the time during or for which authorizations or liabilities thereunder 
may be exercised or imposed; and acts or events of the kind giving rise 
to legal consequences under any of those provisions when performed or 
occurring during the existing state of war shall give rise to the same 
legal consequences when they are performed or occur during the period 
above provided for.

amended (50 U. S. C. App. 1201).
