Plain-language summary
Amends Executive Order 13010, which established the President's Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection, to adjust its structure and wind down its work. Expands membership from 15 to 20 and broadens coverage to both private and public sectors, and allows for co-chairs. Sets March 15, 1998 as the deadline for terminating the Commission's Principals Committee, Steering Committee, and Advisory Committee, and directs those committees to review the Commission's final report and prepare recommendations for the President. Permits the Commission's former chair to remain on the Steering Committee and allows some staff to be retained past termination, under Steering Committee direction and with continued funding and administrative support from the Department of Defense, solely to help review the report. Designates the Executive Secretary of the National Security Council to classify related information as Top Secret under Executive Order 12958, and renumbers later sections of the original order.

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.

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
Amends: EO 13010, July 15, 1996 Note: EO 13064 is nullified in part by virtue of the Committee being abolished by EO 13138, September 30, 1999.
Compiled after the fact by the National Archives, so recent orders often have none yet. An empty disposition means no record, not no activity.
