                By the authority vested in me as President by the

                upon the recommendation of the Secretary of Health and 
                Human Services, in consultation with the Acting Surgeon 
                General, and for the purposes set forth in section 1 of 
                Executive Order 13295 of April 4, 2003, as amended by 
                Executive Order 13375 of April 1, 2005, section 1 of 
                Executive Order 13295 shall be further amended by 
                replacing subsection (b) with the following:

                    ``(b) Severe acute respiratory syndromes, which are 
                diseases that are associated with fever and signs and 
                symptoms of pneumonia or other respiratory illness, are 
                capable of being transmitted from person to person, and 
                that either are causing, or have the potential to 
                cause, a pandemic, or, upon infection, are highly 
                likely to cause mortality or serious morbidity if not 
                properly controlled. This subsection does not apply to 
                influenza.''

                Sec. 2. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order

relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

                    (b) This order is not intended to, and does not, 
                create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, 
                enforceable at law or in equity by any party against 
                the United States, its departments, agencies, or 
                entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any 
                other person.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
