By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, and in order to provide for a more
comprehensive workplace giving program, it is hereby
ordered as follows:

Section 1. Executive Order 12353 of March 23, 1982, as

in its place the term “voluntary health and welfare
organizations”; and by deleting the term “recipient
agencies” and inserting in its place “recipient
organizations”.
    (b) By revising section 1 of that order to read as
follows:

“Section 1.

(a) The Director of the Office of Personnel Management shall make
arrangements for voluntary health and welfare organizations to solicit
contributions from Federal employees and members of the uniformed services
at their places of employment or duty. Federal employees and members of the
uniformed services can also be solicited to make pledges of volunteer time.
These arrangements shall take the form of an annual Combined Federal
Campaign in which eligible voluntary health and welfare organizations are
authorized to take part.

(b) The Director shall consider permitting annuitants to make
contributions to the Combined Federal Campaign through allotments or
assignments of amounts from their Federal annuities. The Director may
prescribe rules and regulations to govern the solicitation of such
contributions and make arrangements to inform annuitants of their ability
to make contributions in this manner.”

“voluntary agencies” and inserting in its place the
term “voluntary health and welfare organizations”.
    (d) By revising the first clause of section 2(b)(1)
to delete “and of local communities”.
    (e) By revising section 2(b)(2) by deleting the
first instance of the word “agencies” and inserting

    (f) By revising section 2(b)(3) by deleting the
term “Agencies” and inserting in its place the term
“Organizations”; and by deleting the term

    (g) By revising section 2(b)(5) to read as follows:

      “(5) Local voluntary, charitable, health and
    welfare organizations that are not affiliated with
    a national organization or federation but that
    satisfy the eligibility criteria set forth in this
    order and by the Director shall be permitted to
    participate in the Combined Federal Campaign.”

    (h) By revising section 3 by deleting the term
“voluntary agencies” and inserting in its place the
term “voluntary health and welfare organizations”.
    (i) By revising section 5 to read as follows:

“Sec. 5. Subject to such rules and regulations as the Director may
prescribe, the Director may authorize:

(a) outreach coordinators to conduct campaign promotion in a local
Combined Federal Campaign; and

(b) central campaign administrators to administer application and
pledging systems and to collect and disburse pledged funds.

Such authorizations shall, if made, ensure at a minimum that outreach
coordinators and central campaign administrators operate subject to the
direction and control of the Director and such local Federal coordinating
entities as may be established; and manage the Combined Federal Campaign
fairly and equitably. The Director may consult with and consider advice
from interested parties and organizations, and shall publish reports on the
management and results of the Combined Federal Campaign.”

    (j) By revising section 6 to read as follows:

“Sec. 6. The methods for the solicitation of funds shall clearly specify
the eligible organizations and provide a direct means to designate funds to
such organizations. Where allocation of undesignated funds by the central
campaign administrator is authorized by the Director, prominent notice of
the authorization for such allocation shall be provided.”

Sec. 2. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order
shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

    (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with
applicable law and subject to the availability of
appropriations.
    (c) This order is not intended to, and does not,
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity by any party against
the United States, its departments, agencies, or
entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
other person.
    (d) All rules, regulations, and directives
continued or issued under Executive Order 12353, as
amended, shall continue in effect until revoked or
modified under the provisions of this order.

    (Presidential Sig.)
