Plain-language summary
Extends fifteen federal advisory committees—including the Committee for the Preservation of the White House, the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, the President's Export Council, and others across various departments—until September 30, 1999, and assigns performance of the President's duties under the Federal Advisory Committee Act for these committees to the relevant department or agency heads, following guidelines from the Administrator of General Services. Revokes five earlier executive orders that created committees whose work is finished, including ones on human radiation experiments, U.S.-Pacific trade policy, arms proliferation, national information infrastructure, and aviation safety and security. Also supersedes Executive Order 12974, changes a numerical reference in Executive Order 13038 from 15 to 22, and revises Executive Order 13054 to update rules for noncompetitive appointment of family members of federal employees who left government service to work for the American Institute in Taiwan. The order took effect September 30, 1997.
