                Executive Order 13012 of July 18, 1996
Establishing an Emergency Board To Investigate a
                Dispute
                 Between the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation
                Authority and Their Employees Represented by the
                Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
                A dispute exists between the Southeastern Pennsylvania
                Transportation Authority and its employees represented
                by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
                The dispute has not heretofore been adjusted under the
                provisions of the Railway Labor Act, as amended (45
                U.S.C. 151 et seq.)(the ``Act'').
                A party empowered by the Act has requested that the
                President establish an emergency board pursuant to
                section 9A of the Act (45 U.S.C. 159a).
                Section 9A(c) of the Act provides that the President,
                upon such request, shall appoint an emergency board to
                investigate and report on the dispute.
                NOW, THEREFORE, by the authority vested in me as
                President, by the Constitution and the laws of the
                United States, including Section 9A of the Act, it is
                hereby ordered as follows:
                Section 1. Establishment of the Board. There is
                established effective July 19, 1996, a Board of three
                members to be appointed by the President to investigate
                this dispute. 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. The Board shall report to the President
                with respect to the dispute within 30 days of its
                creation.
                Sec. 3. Maintaining Conditions. As provided by Section
                9A(c) of the Act, from the date of the creation of the
                Board and for 120 days thereafter, no change, except by
                agreement of the parties, shall be made by the carrier
                or the employees in the conditions out of which the
                dispute 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 18, 1996.
