TEXT

A dispute exists between Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation
Authority and certain of its employees represented by the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.

The dispute has not heretofore been adjusted under the provisions
of the Railway Labor Act, as amended (45 U.S.C. 151 et seq.)(the
"Act").

A party empowered by the Act has requested that the President
establish a second emergency board pursuant to section 9A of the
Act (45 U.S.C. 159a).

Section 9A(e) of the Act provides that the President, upon such
request, shall appoint a second emergency board to investigate
and report on the dispute.

NOW, THEREFORE, by the authority vested in me as President, by
the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including
section 9A of the Act, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Establishment of the Board.  There is established
effective 12:01 a.m., eastern standard time, on November 16,
1996, a board of three members to be appointed by the President
to investigate this dispute.  No member shall be pecuniarily or
otherwise interested in any organization of railroad employees or
any carrier.  The board shall perform its functions subject to
the availability of funds.

Sec. 2. Report.  Within 30 days after creation of the board, the
parties to the dispute shall submit to the final offers for
settlement of the dispute.  Within 30 days after submission of
final offers for settlement of the dispute, the board shall
submit a report to the President setting forth its selection of
the most reasonable offer.

Sec. 3. Maintaining Conditions.  As provided by section 9A(h) of
the Act, from the time a request to establish a board is made
until 60 days after the board makes its report, no change, except
by agreement, shall be made by the parties in the conditions out
of which the dispute arose.

Sec. 4. Records Maintenance. The records and files of the board
are records of the Office of the President and upon the board's
termination shall be maintained in the physical custody of the
National Mediation Board.

Sec. 5. Expiration.  The board shall terminate upon submission of
the report provided for in section 2 of this order.

                         /s/William J. Clinton
