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