Its chair may invite outside experts, hold hearings, and form committees. Federal department and agency heads must provide the Commission with information it needs, and the Department of Transportation, along with other lawful sources, is to support it administratively and financially. The order places the Commission under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, assigns related presidential functions to the Secretary of Transportation, and sets the Commission to exist for six months unless the President extends it.

Legal standing
Not yet published. Court challenges, injunctions and rulings tied to individual orders will appear here once each can be linked to its source record.
Nothing appears in this space without a citation to a court action or a cited precedent. An order with no such record is described as untested, never as likely or unlikely to survive.
Claimed authority
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including section 301 of title 3, United States Code, it is hereby ordered
Quoted from the order as written. Many orders cite nothing more specific than “the Constitution and the laws”; this reproduces what the order claims, not an assessment of whether it holds.
Disposition
Revoked by: EO 13062, September 29, 1997
Compiled after the fact by the National Archives, so recent orders often have none yet. An empty disposition means no record, not no activity.
