Status and meaning

Editorial status. Not reviewed by an editor. An exploratory record that no editor has accepted. This status does not say whether a person has read any linked passage. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.

Relation. A legislature or executive enacted, approved or adopted a legal instrument on the stated date. Enactment is not evidence of enforcement, compliance or applicability to any named organisation; operative dates are separate.

Date. The date line of the archived White House page. The cached text carries no signature line, no memorandum number and no Federal Register citation, so the date is the page's publication date, not a stated signature date.
