Executive Order 9377—Relinquishing Possession of the Plant of the Atlantic Basin Iron Works, Incorporated, at Brooklyn, New York

Whereas on September 4, 1943, the War Shipping Administrator, acting pursuant to the direction contained in Executive Order No. 9375 of September 3, 1943, took possession of the plant of the Atlantic Basin Iron Works, Incorporated, located at Brooklyn, New York, and since that date has retained possession of the said plant pursuant to said Executive Order; and

Whereas it now appears and I so find that the productive efficiency of the said plant prevailing prior to the taking possession thereof has been restored:

Now, Therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and statutes of the United States, particularly the War Labor Disputes Act (Public Law 89, 78th Cong.), I hereby direct the War Shipping Administrator to relinquish possession of the said plant to the Atlantic Basin Iron Works, Incorporated, and to issue the necessary orders for carrying out this direction.
