President's Council on the Future of Princeville,

By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, and in order to develop recommendations for
Federal agency actions to address the future of
Princeville, North Carolina, it is hereby ordered as
follows:
Section 1. Policy. Princeville, North Carolina
(Princeville) has a unique place in American history.
This small city in eastern North Carolina was the first
city in the United States founded by ex-slaves. In its
history, Princeville has been damaged by floods many
times. Recently, it was devastated by floods caused by
Hurricane Floyd. In response to the damage, appropriate
Federal agencies have already begun repair and recovery
efforts to assist Princeville. However, it is the
policy of this Administration to do more to help this
city that occupies such a significant place in our
history. Therefore, this order will create an
interagency council to develop recommendations for
further actions to address the future of Princeville.
Sec. 2. Establishment. (a) There is established the
``President's Council on the Future of Princeville,

of Management and Budget (OMB), the Administrator of
the Environmental Protection Agency, the Commander of

Small Business Administration, the Director of the
Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Assistant to
the President for Domestic Policy, the Assistant to the
President for Economic Policy, and the Assistant to the
President for Intergovernmental Affairs, or their
designees, and such other executive department and
agency (agencies) representatives as the President may
deem appropriate. The Council shall consult with other
agencies and State and local governments, as
appropriate.
(b) The Director of the Office of Management and
Budget, or his designee, shall serve as Chair of the
Council.
Sec. 3. Functions. The Council shall develop
recommendations for the President on further agency and
legislative actions that can be undertaken to address
the future of Princeville. In developing the
recommendations, the Council shall consider, among
other things: (a) the unique historic and cultural
importance of Princeville in American history; (b) the
views and recommendations of the relevant State and
local governments, the private sector, citizens,
community groups, and non-profit organizations, on
actions that they all could take to enhance the future
of Princeville and its citizens; and (c) agency
assessments andrecommendations to repair and rebuild
Princeville, and, to the extent practicable, protect
Princeville from future floods. The Council, through
its Chair, shall submit its recommendations to the
President. Where appropriate, the Council's
recommendations shall include draft legislation
requesting additional funding or other authorities to
aid in the reconstruction and protection of
Princeville.
