Plain-language summary
Amends three earlier executive orders concerning foreign assistance and arms export controls. It updates Executive Order 12163 to reference additional statutory provisions from the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 and several foreign operations appropriations acts. It amends Executive Order 11958 to delegate authority under Section 40A of the Arms Export Control Act, as added by the 1996 antiterrorism law, to the Secretary of State, and renumbers related subsections accordingly. It also makes a technical wording change to Executive Order 12884 to expand a cross-reference within that order. The amendments primarily adjust legal citations and delegate specific statutory authority to the Secretary of State rather than creating new policy directives.

Quoted from the order as written. Many orders cite nothing more specific than “the Constitution and the laws”; this reproduces what the order claims, not an assessment of whether it holds.
