Perhaps scariest of all, the Executive Order grants to the Secretary
of Defense the authority to force a private person to assist in making
chemical and biological weapons. Section 204, entitled “Chemical and
Biological Warfare, states: “The authority of the President conferred by
section 104(b) of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2074(b) is delegated to the
Secretary of Defense.”
Here is section 104(b):
“No provision of title I of this Act [sections 2071 to 2078 of this
Appendix] shall be exercised or interpreted to require action or
compliance by any private person to assist in any way in the production
of or other involvement in chemical or biological warfare capabilities,
unless authorized by the President (or the President's designee who is
serving in a position at level I of the Executive Schedule in accordance
with section 5312 of title 5, United States Code) without further
redelegation.”
