Executive Order 13146 of February 29, 2000
President's Council on the Future of Princeville, North Carolina
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 Caro-
lina, 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 dev- astated 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 rec- ommendations 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, North Carolina" (Council). The Council shall comprise the Secretaries of Defense, Agriculture, Commerce, Labor, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, the Commander of the Army Corps of Engineers, the Administrator of the Small Business Administra- tion, the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the As- sistant to the President for Domestic Policy, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, and the Assistant to the President for Intergovern- mental Affairs, or their designees, and such other executive department and agency (agencies) representatives as the President may deem appropriate.
