Federal law — U.S. Code and appendices · legal_authorities
**(a) Review of Activities.—** In the exercise of its legislative review function, each standing committee of the Senate and the House of Representatives shall make a continuing review of the activities of each advisory committee under its jurisdiction to determine whether such advisory committee should be abolished or merged with any other advisory committee, whether the responsibilities of such advisory committee should be revised, and whether such advisory committee performs a necessary function not already being performed. Each such standing committee shall take appropriate action to obtain the enactment of legislation necessary to carry out the purpose of this subsection.
**(b) Consideration of Legislation.—** In considering legislation establishing, or authorizing the establishment of any advisory committee, each standing committee of the Senate and of the House of Representatives shall determine, and report such determination to the Senate or to the House of Representatives, as the case may be, whether the functions of the proposed advisory committee are being or could be performed by one or more agencies or by an advisory committee already in existence, or by enlarging the mandate of an existing advisory committee. Any such legislation shall—
(1) contain a clearly defined purpose for the advisory committee;
(2) require the membership of the advisory committee to be fairly balanced in terms of the points of view represented and the functions to be performed by the advisory committee;
(3) contain appropriate provisions to assure that the advice and recommendations of the advisory committee will not be inappropriately influenced by the appointing authority or by any special interest, but will instead be the result of the advisory committee’s independent judgmen

TITLE 5—GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION AND EMPLOYEES
§ 1003

modified, or revoked.
SEC. 6. This Order shall be effective November 20,

LOBBYISTS ON AGENCY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
Memorandum of President of the United States, June
18, 2010, 75 F.R. 35955, provided:
Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Depart-
ments and Agencies
My Administration is committed to reducing the
undue influence of special interests that for too long
has shaped the national agenda and drowned out the
voices of ordinary Americans. Special interests exert
this disproportionate influence, in part, by relying on
lobbyists who have special access that is not available
to all citizens. Although lobbyists can sometimes play
a constructive role by communicating information to
the government, their service in privileged positions
within the executive branch can perpetuate the culture
of special-interest access that I am committed to
changing.
On the day after my inauguration, I signed Executive
Order 13490, which places strict limits on the ability of
lobbyists to serve in Government positions related to
their prior lobbying activities. Last September, we
took another step to close the revolving door through
which lobbyists enter and exit Government positions
when we announced that my Administration aspires to
keep Federal agencies’ advisory boards free of federally
registered lobbyists. Many departments and agencies
are making this aspiration a reality by no longer plac-
ing federally registered lobbyists on advisory boards—
a practice that I am now establishing as the official
policy of my Administration.
Accordingly, I hereby direct the head
