FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JANUARY 4, 1975
Office of the White House Press Secretary
THE WHITE HOUSE
EXECUTIVE ORDER
CONTINUANCE OF CERTAIN FEDERAL ADVISORY COMMITTEES
Under the provisions of Section 14 of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App. I), each advisory
committee created by the President or any other officer
of the Executive Branch and subject to the provisions of
this Act -- in existence on the effective date of the Act,
January 5, 1973 -- will terminate on January 5, 1975,
unless renewed by the President or other appropriate
officer.
During the period elapsed since the Federal Advisory
Committee Act was enacted, all Federal advisory committees
subject to that Act have been thoroughly examined and
reexamined to determine whether they should be continued,
modified, abolished, or allowed to terminate. In that
period, more than 300 Federal advisory committees have been
abolished or allowed to terminate.
All advisory committees created by the President before
the effective date of the Act and subject to the provisions
of the Act have been carefully examined. I have determined
that those listed in Section 1 of this Order should be
continued until January 5, 1977, unless terminated sooner.
I have also determined that the advisory committees listed
in Section 2 of this Order, created after the effective date
of the Federal Advisory Committee Act -- expiring under the
terms of that Act before January 5, 1977 -- should be
continued until that date, unless terminated sooner.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, by virtue of the
authority vested in me as President of the United States
of America, particularly by the Federal Advisory Committee
Act, do hereby order as follows:
Section 1. The following-listed advisory committees
are hereby continued until January 5, 1977, unless other-
wise sooner terminated --

Quality --- Executive Order No. 11472 of May 28,
1969, as amended (Council on Environmental
