Executive Order 13265 of June 6, 2002
President's Council on Physical Fitness and
Sports
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, and to expand the executive branch's program
for physical fitness and sports and establish the
President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports (the
``Council''), it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Purpose. The Secretary of Health and Human
Services (Secretary) shall, in carrying out his
responsibilities for public health and human services,
develop and coordinate a national program to enhance
physical activity and sports participation. Through
this program, the Secretary shall seek to:
(a) expand national interest in and awareness of
the benefits of regular physical activity and active
sports participation;
(b) stimulate and enhance coordination of programs
within and among the private and public sectors that
promote participation in, and safe and easy access to,
physical activity and sports;
(c) expand availability of quality information and
guidance regarding physical activity and sports
participation;
(d) integrate physical activity into a broader
health-promotion and disease-prevention effort through
Federal agencies and the private sector; and
(e) target all Americans, with particular emphasis
on children and adolescents, as well as populations or
communities in which specific risks or disparities in
participation in, access to, or knowledge about the
benefits of physical activity have been identified.
Sec. 2. The President's Council on Physical Fitness and
Sports.
(a) There is hereby established the President's
Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.
(b) The Council shall be composed of up to 20
members appointed by the President. The President may
designate one or more members to be Chair or Vice
Chair. Each member shall serve for a term of 2 years
and may continue to serve after the expiration of that
term until a successor is appointed.
Sec. 3. Functions of the Council.
(a) The Council shall advise the President, through
the Secretary, concerning progress made in carrying out
the provisions of this order and shall recommend to the
President, through the Secretary, actions to accelerate
progress.
(b) The Council shall advise the Secretary on ways
to enhance opportunities for participation in physical
fitness and sports. Recommendations may address, but
are not necessarily limited to, public awareness
campaigns, Federal, State, and local physical activity
initiatives, and partnership opportunities between
public- and private-sector health-promotion entities.
(c) The Council shall function as a liaison to
relevant State, local, and private entities in order to
advise the Secretary regarding opportunities to extend
and improve physical activity programs and services at
both the local and national levels.
[[Page 39842]]
(d) The Council shall monitor the need for the
enhancement of programs and educational and promotional
materials sponsored, overseen, or disseminated by the
Council, and shall advise the Secretary as necessary
concerning such need.
Sec. 4. Administration.
(a) Each Federal agency shall, to the extent
permitted by law and subject to available funds,
furnish such information and assistance to the
Secretary and the Council as they may request.
(b) The members of the Council shall serve without
compensation for their work on the Council. Members of
the Council may, however, receive travel expenses,
including per diem in lieu of subsistence, as
authorized by law for persons serving intermittently in
the Government (5 U.S.C. 5701-5707).
(c) To the extent permitted by law, the Secretary
shall furnish the Council with necessary staff,
supplies, facilities, and other administrative
services. The expenses of the Council shall be paid
from funds available to the Secretary.
(d) The Secretary shall appoint an Executive
Director of the Council who shall serve as a liaison to
the Secretary and the White House on matters and
activities pertaining to the Council.
(e) The Council may establish subcommittees as
appropriate to aid in its work. Such subcommittees
shall meet on a voluntary basis and be defined by
objectives established in coordination with and agreed
upon by the Secretary and the President.
(f) The seal prescribed by Executive Order 10830 of
July 24, 1959, as amended, shall be the seal of the
President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports
established by this order.
Sec. 5. General Provisions.
(a) Insofar as the Federal Advisory Committee Act,
as amended (5 U.S.C. App.) (Act), may apply to the
Administration of any portion of this order, any
functions of the President under the Act, except that
of reporting to the Congress, shall be performed by the
Secretary in accordance with the guidelines and
procedures issued by the Administrator of General
Services.
(b) In accordance with the Act, the Council shall
terminate 2 years from the date of this order, unless
extended by the President.
(c) Executive Order 12345 of February 2, 1982, as
amended, is revoked.
