I hope not. #13618 Assignment of Nat'l Security & Emer Preparedness Communications Functions. SHOULD SPECIFY FOR WHAT PURPOSES.
Read the EO and see what it says. Then write it in and find out what it means around the net. Go to reputable sites and not radicals. They are all listed on whitehouse.gov with the whole text and if you don't understand them there don't assume you can comment on them either.
