Copy No. 5 for Central Intelligence October !t, 1950
TO THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND ESTABLISHMENTS:
Subject: Statutes that would be affected by the termination of the existence
of a state of war or emergency.
In order to determine the effect upon present or contemplated programs
of agencies and departments of the Executive Branch of the Government of the
termination of the existing states of war with Germany and Japan and of the
existing national emergencies, the President has requested that there be for-
warded to the Bureau of the Budget not later than November 1, 1950, a list of
all the statutes (or of any power or authority thereunder), the existence,
duration or applicability of which depends upon the existence (1) of a state
of war generally, (2) of a state of war with Germany, (3) of a state of war
with Japan, or (1.) of a state of emergency. It will not be necessary to list
any statute which has already been repealed or suspended. Please list those
statutes with which your agency, or any constituent unit thereof is concerned,
including those with which another agency may also be concerned.
Please give the specific citation of the statutes (including the U. S.
Code citation) and quote the particular language under which the statute or
power would be suspended or terminated by termination of the states of war or
emergency. If there is any doubt or ambiguity as to exactly what the effect
of the termination of the wars or emergencies would be on any particular statute
or power, please be sure to include such doubtful cases, setting forth your
opinion as to the probable effect.
We would also like a statement describing very briefly the substance of
these laws, the effect that their suspension or termination would have upon
present or contemplated operations or programs, together with a recommendation
supported by the reasons therefor as to whether it would be necessary or de-
sirable to preserve these laws and how such preservation could be effected in
the absence of a state of war or emergency.
Any communication concerning this request should be addressed to the
Legislative Reference Division, Attention of J. D. Burros, Room 257, Executive
Office Building, telephone, Code 189, Ext. L127.
Every precaution should be taken to prevent release or other public
notice of this request and the answers thereto.
By order of the President. 1F I? C
