      NOW, THEREFORE, I, HARRY S. TRUMAN, President of the United

    loosed upon the world, and proclaiming the existence of a national
    emergency requiring that the military, naval, air, and civilian

    the end that we may be able to repel any and all threats against
    our national security and to fulfill our responsibilities in the
    efforts being made through the United Nations and otherwise to
    bring about lasting peace; and nothing herein shall be construed to
    affect the continuation of the said emergency of September 8, 1939,
    as specified in the Emergency Powers Interim Continuation Act,
    approved April 14, 1952 (Public Law 313 - 82d Congress), for the
