the United States, a threatened or actual strike or lock-out affecting

several States or with foreign nations, or engaged in the production of
goods for commerce, will, if permitted to occur or to continue, imperil
the national health or safety, he may appoint a board of inquiry to
inquire the issues involved in the dispute and to make a written report
to him within such time as he shall prescribe. Such report shall
include a statement of the facts with respect to the dispute, including
each party’s statement of its position but shall not contain any
recommendations. The President shall file a copy of such report with
the Service and shall make its contents available to the public.”
