Executive Orders 12983 and 13156, which established the National

    Sec. 3. The Director of the Office of Personnel Management and heads
of executive agencies shall promptly move to rescind any orders, rules,

Order 12871 of October 1, 1993, or the Memorandum, to the extent
consistent with law.
    Sec. 4. Nothing in this order shall abrogate any collective
bargaining agreements in effect on the date of this order.
