DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
[Treasury Order Number 170-09]
Direction to the Director, United States Secret Service, to Close
Streets Necessary To Make the White House Perimeter Secure; Delegation
of Authority
May 19, 1995.
As Secretary of the Treasury, I am authorized to direct the Secret
Service to take any and all appropriate action to protect the President
of the United States and other protectees as described in 18 U.S.C.
3056(a). In furtherance of these responsibilities, Secretary Bentsen
commenced a review of the security arrangments at the White House (the
Review). The Review is not able to identify any alternative to
prohibiting vehicular traffic on Pennsylvania Avenue that would ensure
the protection of the President and others in the White House Complex
from explosive devices carried by vehicles near the perimeter.
Therefore, I have determined based upon the Review's work and
conclusions that it is necessary to make secure the perimeter of the
White House.
By virtue of the authority vested in the Secretary of the Treasury,
including, but not limited to, the authority vested by 31 U.S.C. 321,
18 U.S.C. 3056 and 3 U.S.C. 202, it is ordered that:
1. The Director, United States Secret Service, is directed to close
to vehicular traffic the following streets in order to secure the
perimeter of the White House: (i) The segment of Pennsylvania Avenue,
Northwest, in front of the White House between Madison Place,
Northwest, and 17th Street, Northwest; and (ii) State Place, Northwest,
and the segment of South Executive Avenue, Northwest, that connects
into State Place, Northwest (see attached map).
2. I hereby delegate to the Director, United States Secret Service,
all necessary authority to carry out such street closings.
3. This Order shall take effect May 19, 1995.
Robert E. Rubin,
Secretary of the Treasury.
