                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, including the Federal Advisory Committee Act,

                an advisory committee on science and technology, it is 
                hereby ordered as follows:

                Section 1. Establishment. There is established the 
                President's Council of Advisors on Science and 
                Technology (PCAST). The PCAST shall be composed of not 
                more than 25 members, one of whom shall be a Federal 
                Government official designated by the President (the 
                ``Official''), and 24 of whom shall be nonfederal 
                members appointed by the President and have diverse 
                perspectives and expertise in science, technology, and 
                the impact of science and technology on the Nation. The 
                Official shall co-chair PCAST with a nonfederal member 
                designated by the President.

                Sec. 2. Functions. (a) The PCAST shall advise the 
                President, through the Official, on matters involving 
                science and technology policy.

                    (b) In performance of its advisory duties, the 
                PCAST shall assist the National Science and Technology 
                Council (NSTC) in securing private sector involvement 
                in its activities.

                Sec. 3. Administration. (a) The heads of the executive 
                departments and agencies shall, to the extent permitted 
                by law, provide the PCAST with information concerning 
                scientific and technological matters when requested by 
                the PCAST co-chairs.

                    (b) In consultation with the Official, the PCAST is 
                authorized to convene ad hoc working groups to provide 
                preliminary nonbinding information and advice directly 
                to the PCAST.
                    (c) Members shall serve without compensation for 
                their work on the PCAST. However, members may be 
                allowed travel expenses, including per diem in lieu of 
                subsistence, as authorized by law for persons serving 
                intermittently in the government service (5 U.S.C. 
                5701-5707).
                    (d) Any expenses of the PCAST shall be paid from 
                the funds available for the expenses of the Office of 
                Science and Technology Policy.
                    (e) The Office of Science and Technology Policy 
                shall provide such administrative services as the PCAST 
                may require, with the approval of the Official.

                Sec. 4. General. (a) Notwithstanding any other 
                Executive Order, the functions of the President with 
                respect to the PCAST under the Federal Advisory 
                Committee Act, as amended, except that of reporting to 
                the Congress, shall be performed by the Office of 
                Science and Technology Policy in accordance with the 
                guidelines and procedures established by the 
                Administrator of General Services.

                    (b) The PCAST shall terminate 2 years from the date 
                of this order unless extended by the President prior to 
                that date.
