Executive Order 12982--Ordering the Selected Reserve of the Armed Forces
to Active Duty
December 8, 1995
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and
the laws of the United States of America, including sections 121 and
12304 of title 10, United States Code, I hereby determine that it is
necessary to augment the active armed forces of the United States for
the effective conduct of operations in and around former Yugoslavia.
Further, under the stated authority, I hereby authorize the Secretary of
Defense, and the Secretary of Transportation with respect to the Coast
Guard when it is not operating as a service in the Department of the
Navy, to order to active duty any units, and any individual members not
assigned to a unit organized to serve as a unit, of the Selected
Reserve.
This order is intended only to improve the internal management of
the executive branch and is not intended to create any right or benefit,
substantive or procedural, enforceable at law by a party against the
United States, its agencies, its officers, or any person.
This order shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.

Message to the Congress on Ordering the Selected Reserve of the Armed
Forces to Active Duty
December 8, 1995
To the Congress of the United States:
I have today, pursuant to section 12304 of title 10, United States
Code, authorized the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of
Transportation with respect to the Coast Guard when it is not operating
as a service in the Department of the Navy, to order to active duty any
units, and any individual members not assigned to a unit organized to
serve as a unit, of the Selected Reserve to perform such missions the
Secretary of Defense may determine necessary. The deployment of United
States forces to conduct operational missions in and around former
Yugoslavia necessitates this action.
A copy of the Executive order implementing this action is attached.

Message to the Congress on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia
and Montenegro)
December 8, 1995
To the Congress of the United States:
On May 30, 1992, in Executive Order No. 12808, the President
declared a national emergency to deal with the threat to the national
security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States arising from
actions and policies of the Governments of Serbia and Montenegro, acting
under the name of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia or the
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, in their involvement in and support for
groups at-
[[Page 2154]]
tempting to seize territory in Croatia and the Republic of Bosnia and
Herzegovina by force and violence utilizing, in part, the forces of the
so-called Yugoslav National Army (57 FR 23299, June 2, 1992). I expanded
the national emergency in Executive Order No. 12934 of October 25, 1994,
to address the actions and policies of the Bosnian Serb forces and the
authorities in the territory of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina
that they control.
The present report is submitted pursuant to 50 U.S.C. 1641(c) and
1703(c) and covers the period from May 30, 1995, to November 29, 1995.
It discusses Administration actions and expenses directly related to the
exercise of powers and authorities conferred by the declaration of a
national emergency in Executive Order No. 12808 and Executive Order No.
12934 and to expanded sanctions against the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) (the ``FRY (S&M)'') and the Bosnian
Serbs contained in Executive Order No. 12810 of June 5, 1992 (57 FR
24347, June 9, 1992), Executive Order No. 12831 of January 15, 1993 (58
FR 5253, January 21, 1993), Executive Order No. 12846 of April 25, 1993
(58 FR 25771, April 27, 1993), and Executive Order No. 12934 of October
25, 1994 (59 FR 54117, October 27, 1994).
1. Executive Order No. 12808 blocked all property and interests in
property of the Governments of Serbia and Montenegro, or held in the
name of the former Government of the Socialist Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia or the Government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, then
or thereafter located in the United States or within the possession or
control of United States persons, including their overseas branches.
Subsequently, Executive Order No. 12810 expanded U.S. actions to
implement in the United States the United Nations sanctions against the
FRY (S&M) adopted in United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution
757 of May 30, 1992. In addition to reaffirming the blocking of FRY
(S&M) Government property, this order prohibited transactions with
respect to the FRY (S&M) involving imports, exports, dealing in FRY
(S&M)-origin property, air and sea transportation, contract performance,
funds transfers, activity promoting importation or exportation or
dealings in property, and official sports, scientific, technical, or
other cultural representation of, or sponsorship by, the FRY (S&M) in
the United States.
Executive Order No. 12810 exempted from trade restrictions (1)
transshipments through the FRY (S&M), and (2) activities related to the
United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR), the Conference on
Yugoslavia, or the European Community Monitor Mission.
On January 15, 1993, President Bush issued Executive Order No. 12831
to implement new sanctions contained in UNSC Resolution 787 of November
16, 1992. The order revoked the exemption for transshipments through the
FRY (S&M) contained in Executive Order No. 12810, prohibited
transactions within the United States or by a United States person
relating to FRY (S&M) vessels and vessels in which a majority or
controlling interest is held by a person or entity in, or operating
from, the FRY (S&M), and stated that all such vessels shall be
considered as vessels of the FRY (S&M), regardless of the flag under
which they sail.
On April 25, 1993, I issued Executive Order No. 12846 to implement
in the United States the sanctions adopted in UNSC Resolution 820 of
April 17, 1993. That resolution called on the Bosnian Serbs to accept
the Vance-Owen peace plan for the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina
