NOTICE OF RENEWAL
OF THE
PRESIDENT'S COUNCIL ON PHYSICAL FITNESS AND SPORTS

I have determined, after appropriate consultation between this Department and the General Services Administration, that renewal of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, is in the public interest in connection with the performance of duties imposed on the Department by law, and that such duties can best be performed through the advice and counsel of such a group. The Council is continued until September 30, 2009.

I deem that it is not feasible for the Department or any of its existing committees to perform these duties, and that a satisfactory plan for appropriate balance of the Council membership has been submitted.
