                      PART II--PERSONNEL GENERALLY
 
      CHAPTER 1201--AUTHORIZED STRENGTHS AND DISTRIBUTION IN GRADE
 
Sec. 12006. Strength limitations: authority to waive in time of 
        war or national emergency
        
    (a) In time of war, or of national emergency declared by Congress or 
the President, the President may suspend the operation of any provision 
of section 12003, 12004, or 12005 of this title. So long as any such war 
or national emergency continues, any such suspension may be extended by 
the President.
    (b) Any suspension under subsection (a) shall, if not sooner ended, 
end on the last day of the two-year period beginning on the date on 
which the suspension (or the last extension thereof) takes effect or on 
the last day of the one-year period beginning on the date of the 
termination of the war or national emergency, whichever occurs first. 
With respect to the end of any such suspension, the preceding sentence 
supersedes the provisions of title II of the National Emergencies Act 
(50 U.S.C. 1621, 1622) which provide that powers or authorities 
exercised by reason of a national emergency shall cease to be exercised 
after the date of termination of the emergency.

1994, 108 Stat. 2986.)
