This executive order, signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on 1964-12-29, establishes federal administrative policy concerning "Providing for the Screening of the Ready Reserve of the Armed Forces." It is a direct, concise executive instruction delivering focused administrative or military commands to department leadership.

Constitutional Assessment: Scrutinized through Article II, Section 2, this action exercises the President's constitutional role as Commander in Chief.
