This executive order, signed by President Harry S Truman on 1947-08-11, establishes federal administrative policy concerning "Revoking Executive Order No. 9172 of May 22, 1942, Establishing a Panel for the Creation of Emergency Boards for the Adjustment of Railway Labor Disputes." 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. Early Framers recognized broad executive discretion in commanding military forces during conflict, provided it remains bounded by congressional declarations and respects civilian domestic courts.
