93. Maybe because Bush's policy revoked some of Clinton's??
:shrug:

From Bush's Directive 51

"(22) Revocation. Presidential Decision Directive 67 of October 21, 1998 ("Enduring Constitutional Government and Continuity of Government Operations"), including all Annexes thereto, is hereby revoked."


PDD 67

"Enduring Constitutional Government and Continuity of Government - PDD 67
PDD 67, issued by President Clinton in October of 1998, directs all levels of government to plan for and be able to continue minimum operations in any potential national security situation. It assigns specific, essential functions to federal agencies based on their existing statutory authorities and capabilities. Each agency must publish a Continuity of Operations Plan; support the program by maintaining the necessary planning and budgeting processes; and ensure their ability to respond during a national emergency through training, testing, and evaluation.

In addition to PDD-67, the following documents contain Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) requirements:

Federal Preparedness Circular 60, Continuity of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government at the Headquarters Level during National Security Emergencies, provides guidance on maintaining continuity in Executive Branch and the federal government's essential civil functions during national security emergencies.
Federal Preparedness Circular 65, Federal Executive Branch Continuity of Operations (COOP), provides guidance for agencies as they plan for continuing essential functions when emergencies disrupt normal operations.

EPA Order 2030.1, Continuity of Operations Plan Policy, establishes a uniform policy for developing and implementing COOPs within the Agency. It also ensures that Agency's internal organizations are able to continue essential operations during man-made, natural, technological, and national security emergencies."
