Executive Order at <a href="http://whitehouse.gov">whitehouse.gov</a>. PCAST is consulted on and provides

policy choices before the President. The Designated Federal Officer is

repetitive of previously submitted oral or written statements. The
public comment period for this meeting will take place on May 22, 2024,

Although written comments are accepted continuously, written comments
