of the United States of America, including section 1 of title II of the Act
of June 15, 1917, as amended (50 U.S.C. 191) (the "Act"), and in addition
to the finding in Executive Order 10173 of October 18, 1950, and any other declaration
or finding in force under section 1 of the Act, I find that the security of
the United States is endangered by reason of disturbances in the international
relations of the United States that have existed since the terrorist attacks
on the United States of September 11, 2001, and that such disturbances continue
to endanger such relations, and hereby order that:
