MEMORANDUM
THE WHITE HOUSE
Der filing
WASHINGTON
December 30, 1974
FOR:
PHILIP W. BUCHEN
FROM:
JAY FRENCH
SUBJECT:
CREATION OF PRESIDENTIAL COMMISSIONS
I have briefly explored the President's authority to create advisory and
investigatory commissions (boards, committees and councils). These
commissions are most frequently created by Executive Order (see
example in TAB A) or simple announcement (see examples in TAB B).
The authority to create commissions by Executive Order is either
pursuant to a specific public law role (see examples in Tab C) or by virtue
of the President's authority to execute the laws (see examples in TAB D).
The expenses of a commission may be met in several ways:
1. Utilizing Appropriations from other Departments.
Pursuant to 31 U.S.C.A. 691, appropriations of the
executive departments and independent establishments
shall be available for personnel and administrative
expenses of committees, boards, or other interagency
groups engaged in activity of common interest to such
departments and establishments and composed in whole
or in part of representatives thereof who receive no
compensation for such membership. See President's
Advisory Committee on Supersonic Transport and
31 U.S.C.A. SID 691, in TAB E.
2. President's Unanticipated Personnel Needs Fund.
In F.Y. 1975, there was appropriated $500, 000 for the
President for emergency use. Two-hundred thousand FORD
dollars remains in this account as of this date. This
fund, formally known as the "President's Emergency
Fund," has been used to provide monies for several-
LIBRARY
commissions including the National Advisory Commission
- 2 -
on Civil Disorders and the Commission to Investigate
the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The
Executive Orders creating these commissions are
located in TAB F. Both personnel and administrative
expenses may be paid from this fund. A copy of the
authorization bill creating this fund is attached in TAB F.
3. General Services Administration,
Administrative services may be provided to the
commission by the GSA on a reimbursable or non-
reimbursable basis at the direction of the President.
Examples of such orders are shown in TAB G. Also,
support by GSA is expressly authorized in Section 12 (b)
of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (see TAB G).
4. Public Law.
After the President has created a commission, the
Congress may provide funds by statute for expenses.
Similarly, funds may be appropriated at the beginning
of the life of a commission. However, no commission
may exist for more than one year unless its funds have
been appropriated by the Congress, (see 31 U.S. C. A.
SER 696 in TAB H).

I have a brief announcement on the Committee on Heart Disease,
Cancer and Stroke. The leading causes of death in the United States are
heart disease, cancer and stroke. They have a greater impact than all other

suffering from these diseases. 23 million days of work are lost every day
because of them. Two-thirds of all Americans now living will ultimately
suffer or die from one of these diseases. I therefore have asked the

taken to reduce the burden and incidence of these diseases. This panel will
be chaired by Dr. Michael DeBakey of Baylor University of Medicine in
Houston, Texas. Five of these members are women. Also on the panel is
Mr. Barry Bingham, Marion Folsom, Emerson Foote, Dr. Howard Rusk, Dr.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11627
Further Providing for the Stabilization of the Economy
On August 15, 1971, I issued Executive Order No. 11615 providing
for the stabilization of prices, rents, wages, and salaries, for a period of
90 days from the date of that Order. That Order also established the
Cost of Living Council and charged it with the primary responsibility
for administering the stabilization program, and for recommending to
me additional policies and mechanisms to permit an orderly transition
from the 90-day general price, rents, wages, and salaries freeze imposed
by Executive Order No. 11615 to a more flexible and selective system
of economic restraints.
I have received recommendations from the Cost of Living Council,
and have determined that the intent of the Economic Stabilization Act
of 1970 (P.L. 91-379; 84 Stat. 799), as amended, can more effectively
be carried out and the goals I specified in my speech to the Nation on
October 7, 1971, can more effectively be achieved, on and after the date
of this Order, by substituting this Order for Executive Order No. 11615,
as amended. Notwithstanding this substitution, the findings which I made
in the preamble of Executive Order No. 11615 of August 15, 1971, are,
after careful reconsideration, reaffirmed.
Under this Order, the Cost of Living Council will be continued and
will be given broad authority to stabilize prices, rents, wages, and salaries
for so long as the Economic Stabilization Act of 1970, as amended, is in
effect or until such other time as the President may-hereafter prescribe.
This, in effect, will result in the establishment of a new economic stabili-
zation program. That program will be carried out through a Pay Board
and a Price Commission each of which is newly established by this Order.
The Pay Board will be a tripartite organization composed of five repre-
sentatives of organized labor, five representatives of business, and five
representatives of the general public. The Price Commission will be
composed of seven members, all from the general public. The President
will appoint all members of both the Board and the Commission and will
designate the Chairman of each, who will be a full-time official of the
United States.
The Cost of Living Council will establish broad stabilization goals for
the Nation, and the Pay Board and Price. Commission, acting through
their respective Chairmen, will prescribe specific standards, criteria, and
regulations, and make rulings and decisions aimed at carrying out these
goals.
In addition, this Order establishes. three new committees to assist the
Council, the Pay Board, and the Price Commission in the performance
of their functions. They are the Committee on Interest and Dividends,
an inter-agency body made up of the heads of various Federal depart-
ments and agencies having financial regulatory functions; the Committee
&

on the Health Services Industry; and the Committee on State and Local
Government Cooperation.

NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the

Stabilization Act of 1970, as amended, it is hereby ordered as follows
SECTION 1. (a) The Pay Board and Price Commission established by
sections 7 and 8 of this Order, respectively, and the Chairman of each of
those bodies, shall, pursuant to goals of the Cost of Living Council, take

Order, to stabilize prices, rents, wages, and salaries. Pending action under
this Order, and except as otherwise provided in section 202 of the
Economic Stabilization Act of 1970, as amended, prices, rents, wages,
and salaries are stabilized effective as of August 16, 1971, at levels not
greater than the highest of those pertaining to a substantial volume of
actual transactions by each individual, business, firm, or other entity of
any kind during the 30-day period ending August 14, 1971, for like or
similar commodities or services. If no transactions occurred in that
period, the ceiling will be the highest price, rent, salary, or wage in the
nearest preceding 30-day period in which transactions did occur. No
person shall charge, assess, or receive, directly or indirectly, in any transac-
tion, prices or rents in any form higher than those permitted hereunder,
and no person shall, directly or indirectly, pay or agree to pay, in any
transaction, wages or salaries in any form, or to use any means to obtain
payment of wages and salaries in any form, higher than those permitted
hereunder, whether by retroactive increase or otherwise.
(b) Each person engaged in the business of selling or providing com-
modities or services shall maintain available for public inspection a
record of the highest prices or rents charged for such or similar com-
modities or services during the 30-day period ending August 14, 1971.

to the prices charged for raw agricultural products.
