In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.

be convened in time to meet the present emergency, and the executive of
said State, under section 4 of Article IV of the Constitution of the
United States and the laws passed in pursuance thereof, has therefore
made application to me for such part of the military force of the
United States as may be necessary and adequate to protect said State
and the citizens thereof aga
