Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS
                By the authority vested in me as President by the
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of
                America, I hereby direct the Secretary of Health and
                Human Services to exercise her discretion as follows:
                Section 1. Establishment. (a) The Secretary of Health
                and Human Services (the ``Secretary'') shall establish
                an HIV/AIDS Advisory Council (the ``Advisory Council''
                or the ``Council''), to be known as the Presidential
                Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS. The Advisory Council
                shall be composed of not more than 30 members to be
                appointed or designated by the Secretary. The Advisory
                Council shall comply with the Federal Advisory
                Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. App.).
                    (b) The Secretary shall designate a Chairperson
                from among the members of the Advisory Council.
                Sec. 2. Functions. The Advisory Council shall provide
                advice, information, and recommendations to the
                Secretary regarding programs and policies intended to
                (a) promote effective prevention of HIV disease, (b)
                advance research on HIV and AIDS, and (c) promote
                quality services to persons living with HIV disease and
                AIDS. The functions of the Advisory Council shall be
                solely advisory in nature. The Secretary shall provide
                the President with copies of all written reports
                provided to the Secretary by the Advisory Council.
                Sec. 3. Administration. (a) The heads of executive
                departments and agencies shall, to the extent permitted
                by law, provide the Advisory Council with such
                information as it may require for purposes of carrying
                out its functions.
                    (b) Any members of the Advisory Council that
                receive compensation shall be compensated in accordance
                with Federal law. Committee members may be allowed
                travel expenses, including per diem in lieu of
                subsistence, to the extent permitted by law for persons
                serving intermittently in the Government service (5
                U.S.C. section 5701-5707).
                    (c) To the extent permitted by law, and subject to
                the availability of appropriations, the Department of
                Health and Human Services shall provide the Advisory
                Council with such funds and support as may be necessary
                for the performance of its functions.
                Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) Notwithstanding the
                provisions of any other Executive order, any functions
                of the President under the Federal Advisory Committee
