it had on file and those it received after that date. For the Presidents listed prior to 1907 the following table does not purport to be complete. It lists only the number of Executive Orders which have been assigned numbers for this period. Also, as discussed earlier, for various reasons many Executive Order Numbers carry other Executive Orders under the prime numbers such as 350A, 350B, 502 1/2, 600-1 etc. This will account for the differences in the totals for some years showing more executive orders in the total column then the differences between the number for the first of the year and the last number for the end of the year. The table lists the President issuing the orders; term of service by the President, year issued, number of first and last Executive Order issued during the year, total number for the year, and the total number of Executive Orders issued by the President during his term of service. The number of Executive Orders covered are Executive Order 1 issued by President Lincoln dated October 20, 1862 through Executive Order 11766 issued by President Nixon dated January 29, 1974. CRS-18 |
