Executive Order 13174 of October 27, 2000
Commission on Workers, Communities, and Economic
Change in the New Economy
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,
as amended (5 U.S.C. App.), it is hereby ordered as
follows:
Section 1. Establishment. There is established the
``Commission on Workers, Communities, and Economic
Change in the New Economy'' (Commission). The
Commission shall be composed of up to 14 persons to be
appointed by the President from individuals who
represent State or local agencies relating to workforce
or community development, economists or other workforce
development experts, labor organizations, business
leaders, and Members of Congress. The President shall
designate a Chairperson from among the members of the
Commission.
Sec. 2. Functions. The Commission shall conduct a study
of matters relating to economic dislocation, and worker
and community adjustment to such dislocations. In
carrying out this study, the Commission shall examine:
(a) the impact of international trade, technology, globalization, and the
changing nature of work on both workers and their communities;
(b) the effectiveness of existing Federal programs in assisting workers and
communities in adjusting to economic change, including the adequacy of the
design of such programs;
(c) the strategies for providing workplace education and training to assist
workers in acquiring new skills;
(d) the strategies for assisting communities to adjust to changing economic
conditions and changes in the mix of employment opportunities in those
communities;
(e) the role of public-private partnerships in implementing job training
and community assistance; and
(f) the role of income support and economic security programs in
facilitating worker adjustment to rapidly changing economic circumstances.
Sec. 3. Report. Not later than 12 months after the
first meeting of the Commission, the Commission shall
prepare and submit to the President and the Congress a
report that contains a detailed statement of the
findings and conclusions of the Commission's study
carried out under section 2 of this order, and
includes:
(1) a summary of best practices and policies carried out by employers and
public-private partnerships in providing workers with the education and
training needed to effectively adjust to economic change;
(2) a summary of best practices and policies carried out by or on behalf of
communities in responding to large-scale economic changes; and
(3) any recommendations relating to legislative and administrative actions
that the Commission determines to be appropriate.
Sec. 4. Administration. (a) Members of the Commission
shall serve without compensation for their work on the
Commission. While engaged in the work of the
Commission, members appointed from among private
citizens of the United States 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).

(b) The Department of Labor shall provide the
Commission with funding and administrative support. The
Commission may have paid staff. In addition,
appropriate Federal agencies may be requested to

Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. App.), except that
