                As a mark of respect for William H. Rehnquist, Chief 
                Justice of the United States, I hereby order, by the

                military posts and naval stations, and on all naval 
                vessels of the Federal Government in the District of 
                Columbia and throughout the United States and its 
                Territories and possessions until sunset, Tuesday, 
                September 13, 2005. I also direct that the flag shall 
                be flown at half-staff for the same period at all
