                Executive Order 12967 of July 31, 1995
Establishing an Emergency Board To Investigate
                Disputes Between Metro North Commuter Railroad and Its
                Employees Represented by Certain Labor Organizations
                Disputes exist between Metro North Commuter Railroad
                and certain employees represented by certain labor
                organizations. The labor organizations involved in
                these disputes are designated on the attached list,
                which is made a part of this order.
                The disputes have not heretofore been adjusted under
                the provisions of the Railway Labor Act, as amended (45
                U.S.C. 151 et seq.) (the ``Act'').
                Parties empowered by the Act have requested that the
                President establish a second emergency board pursuant
                to section 9A of the Act (45 U.S.C. 159a).
                Section 9A(e) of the Act provides that the President,
                upon such request, shall appoint a second emergency
                board to investigate and report on the disputes.
                NOW, THEREFORE, by the authority vested in me as
                President by the Constitution and the laws of the
                United States of America, including section 9A of the
                Act, it is hereby ordered as follows:
                Section 1. Establishment of the Board. There is
                established effective July 31, 1995, a board of three
                members to be appointed by the President to investigate
                these disputes. No member shall be pecuniarily or
                otherwise interested in any organization of railroad
                employees or any carrier. The board shall perform its
                functions subject to the availability of funds.
                Sec. 2. Report. Within 30 days after creation of the
                board, the parties to the disputes shall submit to the
                board final offers for settlement of the disputes.
                Within 30 days after submission of final offers for
                settlement of the disputes, the board shall submit a
                report to the President setting forth its selection of
                the most reasonable offer.
                Sec. 3. Maintaining Conditions. As provided by section
                9A(h) of the Act, from the time a request to establish
                a board is made until 60 days after the board makes its
                report, no change, except by agreement, shall be made
                by the parties in the conditions out of which the
                disputes 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
                submission of the report provided for in section 2 of
                this order.
                    (Presidential Sig.)
                THE WHITE HOUSE,
                    July 31, 1995.
