What does Executive Order 13652 do?

EO 13652 continued more than two dozen presidential advisory committees—including bodies on intelligence, arts, trade, education, labor and science—through September 30, 2015. It also assigned FACA responsibilities to their sponsoring agencies and made several technical amendments. The order was a time-limited bridge; later continuation orders determined each committee’s fate.

Administration position: Continuation did not make every recommendation binding or guarantee that each committee would meet, receive funding or survive later restructuring.
