                Pursuant to the authority vested in me as President by 
                the Constitution and the laws of the United States of

                above, as an area in which Armed Forces of the United 
                States are and have been engaged in combat.

                For purposes of this order, I designate September 19, 
                2001, as the date of the commencement of combatant 
                activities in such zone.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B
