Executive Order No. 84-3 was superseded by Executive Order No. 86-1 of May 5, 1986. Due to the length of the text of the Rules for Performance Contracts appended to Executive Order 84-3, these have not been included. There are, however, other Executive Orders that, although, superseded have been copied in their entirety
