By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws
of the United States of America, including section 361(b) of the Public Health
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 264(b)), it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Based upon the recommendation of the Secretary of Health and
Human Services (the "Secretary"), in consultation with the Surgeon General, and
for the purpose of specifying certain communicable diseases for regulations
providing for the apprehension, detention, or conditional release of individuals

South American, and others not yet isolated or named).
(b) Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which is a disease
associated with fever and signs and symptoms of pneumonia or other
respiratory illness, is transmitted from person to person predominantly by
the aerosolized or droplet route, and, if spread in the population, would
have severe public health consequences.
Sec. 2. The Secretary, in the Secretary's discretion, shall determine
whether a particular condition constitutes a communicable disease of the type
specified in section 1 of this order.
Sec. 3. The functions of the President under sections 362 and 364(a) of
the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 265 and 267(a)) are assigned to the

Sec. 4. This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or
benefit enforceable at law or equity by any party against the United States, its
departments, agencies, entities, officers, employees or agents, or any other person.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance�not soap-boxing�please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'�with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds�is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
