Proclamation 2082—Extending for One Year the Effective Period of Title I of the Emergency Railroad Transportation Act, 1933

May 02, 1934

By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation

Whereas section 17 of Title I of the act entitled "An Act to relieve the existing national emergency in relation to interstate railroad transportation, and to amend sections 5, 15(a) and 19(a) of the Interstate Commerce Act as amended", approved June 16, 1933 (c. 91, 48 Stat. 211, 217), reads as follows:

"SEC. 17. This title shall cease to have effect at the end of one year after the effective date, unless extended by a proclamation of the President for one year or any part thereof, but orders of the Coordinator or of the Commission made thereunder shall continue in effect until vacated by the Commission or set aside by other lawful authority, but notwithstanding the provisions of section 10 no such order shall operate to relieve any carrier from the effect of any State law or of any order of a State commission enacted or made after this title ceases to have effect."

And Whereas in the judgment of the President it is deemed advisable and expedient to extend the effective period of Title I of the said Act for one year after June 16, 1934;

Now, Therefore, I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, do hereby declare and proclaim that the effective period of Title I of the act entitled "An Act to relieve the existing national emergency in relation to interstate railroad transportation, and to amend sections 5, 15(a) and 19(a) of the Interstate Commerce Act as amended", approved June 16, 1933 (c. 91, 48 Stat. 211, 217), is extended for one year after June 16, 1934.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States of America to be affixed.

Done at the City of Washington this 2d day of May in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and thirty-four and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and fifty-eighth.
