                Executive Order 13060 of August 21, 1997
Establishing an Emergency Board To Investigate
                Disputes Between Amtrak and its Employees Represented
                by the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes
                Disputes exist between Amtrak and its employees
                represented by the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way
                Employes.
                These 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'').
                In the judgement of the National Mediation Board, these
                disputes threaten substantially to interrupt interstate
                commerce to a degree that would deprive a section of
                the country of essential transportation service.
                NOW, THEREFORE, by the authority vested in me as
                President by the Constitution and the laws of the
                United States; including section 10 of the Act (45
                U.S.C. 160), it is hereby ordered as follows:
                Section 1. Establishment of Emergency Board
                (``Board''). There is established, effective August 21,
                1997, 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 railroad
                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 these disputes within 30 days of its
                creation.
                Sec. 3. Maintaining Conditions. As provided by section
                10 of the Act, from the date of the creation of the
                Board and for 30 days after the Board has submitted its
                report to the President, no change in the conditions
                out of which the disputes arose shall be made by the
                parties to the controversy, except by agreement of the
                parties.
                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 the
                submission of the report provided for in sections 2 and
                3 of this order.
                    (Presidential Sig.)
                THE WHITE HOUSE,
                    August 21, 1997.
