Plain-language summary

Auto-generated summaryWritten by claude-sonnet-5 from the order’s own text · prompt v4 ·

Amends Executive Order 12752, which implements the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954 and the Food for Progress Act of 1985. Changes the first sentence of section 1(a) so that it authorizes assistance to developing countries and private entities, rather than developing countries alone. Deletes sections 4(a) and 4(c) of the earlier order, and renumbers the remaining subsections 4(b) through 4(g) as sections 4(a) through 4(e). The order does not otherwise describe the substance of the deleted provisions or their practical effect beyond these structural and wording changes.

Not written or reviewed by a person. Read the full order below for anything you intend to rely on.

Not yet published. Court challenges, injunctions and rulings tied to individual orders will appear here once each can be linked to its source record.

Nothing appears in this space without a citation to a court action or a cited precedent. An order with no such record is described as untested, never as likely or unlikely to survive.

Claimed authority

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to provide for carrying out the provisions of the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954, as amended by Public Law 101- 624 (7 U.S.C. 1691 et seq.), it is hereby ordered

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.

Disposition

Amends: EO 12752, February 25, 1991

Compiled after the fact by the National Archives, so recent orders often have none yet. An empty disposition means no record, not no activity.
