                By the authority vested in me as President by the

                including section 301 of title 3, United States Code,
                it is hereby ordered as follows:
                Section 1. Establishment. There is established the
                White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security

                not more than 25 members, to be appointed by the
                President from the public and private sectors, each of
                whom shall have experience or expertise in some aspect
                of aviation safety or security. The Vice President
                shall serve as the Chair of the Commission.
                Sec. 2. Functions. (a) The Commission shall advise the
                President on matters involving aviation safety and
                security, including air traffic control.
                    (b) The Commission shall develop and recommend to
                the President a strategy designed to improve aviation
                safety and security, both domestically and
                internationally.
                    (c) The Chair may, from time to time, invite
                experts to submit information to the Commission; hold
                hearings on relevant issues; and form committees and
                teams to assist the Commission in accomplishing its
                objectives and duties, which may include individuals
                other than members of the Commission.
                Sec. 3. Administration. (a) The heads of executive
                departments and agencies shall, to the extent permitted
                by law, provide the Commission such information with
                respect to aviation safety and security as the
                Commission requires to fulfill its functions.
                    (b) The Commission shall be supported, both
                administratively and financially, by the Department of
                Transportation and such other sources (including other
                Federal agencies) as may lawfully contribute to
                Commission activities.
                Sec. 4. General. (a) I have determined that the
                Commission shall be established in compliance with the
                Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C.
                App. 2). Notwithstanding any other Executive order, the
                functions of the President under the Federal Advisory
                Committee Act, as amended, shall be performed by the
                Secretary of Transportation in accordance with the
                guidelines and procedures established by the
                Administrator of General Services, except that of
                reporting to the Congress.
                    (b) The Commission shall exist for a period of 6
                months from the date of this order, unless extended by
                the President.
                    (Presidential Sig.)
