[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Trading With the Enemy: Legislative and Executive Documents Concerning Regulation of International Transactions in Time of Declared National Emergency The Trading With the Enemy Act of 1917 has been on the books for nearly 60 years. As amended during that period, section 5(b) has provided the President with progressively broader authority to regulate the nations international (and domestic) finance during periods of declared national emergency. This section has been construed over the years as providing statutory authority for "emergency" actions as diverse as the "bank holiday" of 1933, an alien property freeze and consumer credit controls imposed during World War II, foreign direct investment controls imposed in 1968, and routine export controls in 1972, 1974, and 1976.It provides a major statutory basis for the trade embargoes currently in effect against North Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Cuba. But despite the obvious importance of section 5(b), its legislative history has never before been assembled and fully reviewed. The purpose of this committee print is to provide such a legislative history. It is designed to serve as a set of working documents for the use of the Subcommittee on International Trade and Commerce and of the full International Relations Committee. These documents should also be of interest and use to other Members of Congress working on related matters, and to the interested public. In January 1973, Senate Resolution 9 established a bipartisan Senate Special Committee on the Termination of the National Emergency "to conduct a study and investigation with respect to the matter of terminating the national emergency proclaimed by the President of the United States on December 16, 1950." This national emergency, proclaimed to aid in prosecuting the Korean war, had never been terminated. The Special Committee soon discovered that not one but four "national emergencies" continued in effect, including the national emergency declared by President Roosevelt on March 6, 1933, to meet the problems of the depression, and the national emergencies declared by President Nixon on March 23, 1970, because of a Post Office strike, and on August 15, 1971, to deal with balance of payments and other international problems. The Special Committee also discovered that no inventory existed of the hundreds of statutes delegating powers to the President which were activated by these Presidential declarations. In the words of Senator Mathias, Special Committee cochairman, "a majority of the people of the United States have lived all of their lives under emergency government." The other cochairman, Senator Church, pointed out that the basic question before the Special Committee was "whether it is possible for a democratic government such as ours to exist under its present Constitution and system of three separate branches equal in power under a continued state of emergency."

Paperback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Trading With the Enemy: Legislative and Executive Documents Concerning Regulation of International Transactions in Time of Declared National Emergency An exhaustive 2-year study by the Special Committee, followed by extensive consideration by the appropriate legislative committees of each house, has produced the National Emergencies Act, which was Signed into law by the President on September 14, 197 6 (public Law 94 The act terminates all powers and authorities possessed by the executive branch as a result of any declaration of national emer gency, and prescribes procedures governing the declaration, conduct, and termination Of any future national emergency. Exempted, how ever, from the National Emergencies Act are certain laws deemed especially important to the functioning of the government. Among these is section 5 b) of the Trading With the Enemy Act. Given the jurisdiction of the Committee on International Relations under the Rules of the House, it is the responsibility of the committee and its Subcommittee on International Trade and Commerce, pur suant to Section 502 of the National Emergencies Act, to conduct a thorough review of section 5 (b) of the Trading With the Enemy Act and to recommend revisions to the House within 9 months. Two problems arise in attempting to determine congressional intent with regard to section 5(b). The first is that the legislative history of 5(b) is short and sketchy. There was virtually no discussion Of it at the time of the passage of the original Trading With the Enemy Act, and subsequent amendments generally occurred in times of crisis when apparently it was felt that there was no time for the luxury of extensive debate. The most striking example is that the 1933 amend ment, which authorized the President to invoke the powers of. 5(b) simply by declaring a national emergency, was debated and passed by both houses in 1 day, without hearings and before the bill was even in print. The second is that the relationship of 5 (b) to the rest of the Trading With the Enemy Act was ambiguous from the beginning, in that there was no language in that section limiting its application to the enemy in time of war as defined in section 2 of the act.
