                By the authority vested in me as President by the

                to the Manual for Courts-Martial, United States, 
                prescribed by Executive Order 12473 of April 13, 1984, 
                as amended, it is hereby ordered as follows:

                Section 1. Part II, Part III, and Part IV of the Manual 
                for Courts-Martial, United States, are amended as 
                described in the Annex attached and made a part of this 
                order.

                Sec. 2. These amendments shall take effect as of the 
                date of this order, subject to the following:

                    (a) Nothing in these amendments shall be construed 
                to make punishable any act done or omitted prior to the 
                effective date of this order that was not punishable 
                when done or omitted.
                    (b) Nothing in these amendments shall be construed 
                to invalidate any nonjudicial punishment proceedings, 
                restraint, investigation, referral of charges, trial in 
                which arraignment occurred, or other action begun prior 
                to the effective date of this order, and any such 
                nonjudicial punishment, restraint, investigation, 
                referral of charges, trial, or other action may proceed 
                in the same manner and with the same effect as if these 
                amendments had not been prescribed.
