Executive Order 13066: Amendment to Executive Order 13037, Commission To Study Capital Budgeting

President: Bill Clinton

Expanded the Commission to Study Capital Budgeting from 11 to no more than 20 members and removed an early reporting deadline.

Status: Completed/expired. Is Executive Order 13066 still in effect? No. Executive Order 13066 is completed or expired. See Federal Register record.

What does Executive Order 13066 do?

EO 13066 broadened the bipartisan capital-budgeting commission created by EO 13037 and allowed its work to continue beyond March 15, 1998 until a report was submitted. EO 13108 later adjusted its timing again. The commission delivered its report in 1999, and EO 13138 revoked the completed commission framework.

Administration position: The order expanded a study commission; it did not place the federal budget on a capital basis or change congressional scoring rules.
