Obama Executive Order Declares ‘National Emergency’

Obama Executive Order Declares ‘National Emergency’: With apparently no coverage from the press, President Obama on June 25 signed another executive order, titled “Highly Enriched Uranium,” in which he uses the phrase “(I) hereby declare a national emergency.”

The link to the page at WhiteHouse.gov as of this writing is http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/06/25/executive-order-russian-highly-enriched-uranium. The complete text as it appears on the WhiteHouse.gov site is included at the end of this article.

The stated purpose of the order is to protect assets and payments owed to the Russian Federation for converting old Soviet nuclear warheads to plutonium usable in energy production.
