SEC. 4. (a) There is hereby created in the Executive Office of the
President a Council of Economic Advisers (hereinafter called the
"Council"). The Council shall be composed of three members who

policy and legislation as the President may request.
HISTORICAL NOTE
The original Act, before amendments, read: "The President shall designate
one of the members of the Council as chairman and one as vice-chairman,
who shall act as chairman in the absence of the chairman. This was sub-
sequently changed by Reorganization Plan No. 9 of 1953 as follows:
"The functions vested in the Council of Economic Advisers by section
4(b) of the Employment Act of 1946 (60 Stat. 24), and so much of the func-
tions vested in the Council by section 4(c) of that Act as consists of reporting
to the President with respect to any function of the Council under the said
section 4(c), are hereby transferred to the Chairman of the Council of
Economic Advisers. The position of Vice Chairman of the Council of Eco-
nomic Advisers, provided for in the last sentence of section 4(a) of the
said Act, is hereby abolished."
(Prepared by the President and transmitted to the Senate and the House
of Representatives in Congress assembled, June 1, 1953, pursuant to the
provisions of the Reorganization Act of 1949, as amended.)
(d) The Council shall make an annual report to the President in
December of each year.
(e) In exercising its powers, functions, and duties under this Act-
(1) The Council may constitute such advisory committees and
may consult with such representatives of industry, agriculture,
labor, consumers, State and local governments, and other groups
as it deems advisable;
(2) the Council shall, to the fullest extent possible, utilize the
services, facilities, and information (including statistical infor-
mation) of other Government agencies as well as of private
research agencies, in order that duplication of effort and expense
may be avoided.
(f) To enable the Council to exercise its powers, functions, and
duties under this Act, there are authorized to be appropriated such
sums as may be necessary. (15 U.S.C. 1023.)
HISTORICAL NOTE
1961 Amendment.-Subsection (f) amended June 16, 1961 by Public
Law 87-49 cited to text, by striking out "To enable the Council to exercise
its powers, functions, and duties under this Act, there are authorized to be
appropriated (except for the salaries of the members and the salaries of
officers and employees of the Council) such sums as may be necessary. For
the salaries of the members and the salaries of officers and employees of the
Council, there is authorized to be appropriated not exceeding $345,000 in
the aggregate for each fiscal year."

President of the Senate, and ten Members of the House of Repre-
sentatives, to be appointed by the Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives. In each case, the majority party shall be represented by
six members and the minority party shall be represented by four
members.
HISTORICAL NOTES
1956 Amendment.-Seetion 5(a) of such Act and the heading thereof
are each amended by striking out "Joint Committee on the Economic
Report" and inserting in lieu thereof "Joint Economic Committee"; and
any other statute in which the name "Joint Committee on the Economic
Report" appears is amended to conform to the foregoing change in the name
of the Joint Committee. (60 Stat. 25; 15 IJ.S.C. 1024) Public Law 84-591,
June 18, 1956.
1967 Amendment.-Section 5(a) amended by Public Law 90-2, January
25, 1967, cited to text. The original Act provided that "The party repre-
sentation on the joint committee shall as nearly as may be feasible reflect
the relative membership of the majority and minority parties in the Senate
and House of Representatives," and be composed of seven Members of the
Senate and seven Members of the House of Representatives. This was
changed to eight Members of the Senate and eight Members of the House of
Representatives with the majority party being represented by 5 members
and the minority party by 3 members, in Public Law 86-1, February 17, 1959.
(b) It shall be the function of the joint committee-
(1) to make a continuing study of matters relating to the
Economic Report;
(2) to study means of coordinating programs in order to
further the policy of this Act; and
(3) as a guide to the several committees of the Congress
dealing with legislation relating to the Economic Report, not
later than March 1, of each year (beginning with the year 1947)
to file a report with the Senate and the House of Representatives
containing its findings and recommendations with respect to
each of the main recommendations made by the President in
the Economic Report, and from time to time to make such other
reports and recommendations to the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives as it deems advisable.
HISTORICAL NOTE
In the original act, before amendments, this read: "May 1." This was
changed to "February 1" in the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946,
and subsequently to "March 1" in Public Law 80-405, February 2, 1948.
(c) Vacancies in the membership of the joint committee shall not
affect the power of the remaining members to execute the functions
of the joint committee, and shall be filled in the same manner as in
the case of the original selection. The joint committee shall select a
chairman and a vice chairman from among its members.
(d) The joint committee, or any duly authorized subcommittee
thereof, is authorized to hold such hearings as it deems advisable,
and, within the limitations of its appropriations, the joint committee
is empowered to appoint and fix the compensation of such experts,
consultants, technicians, and clerical and stenographic assistants, to
procure such printing and binding, and to make such expenditures, as
it deem.s necessary and advisable. [The cost of stenographic services
to report hearings of the joint committee, or any subcommittee there-
of, shall not exceed 25 cents per hundred words.] The joint com-

mittee is authorized to utilize the services, information, and facilities
of the departments and establishments of the Government, and also

sation for stenographic assistance of committees paid out of the foregoing
items under `Contingent expenses of the Senate' hereafter shall be computed
at such rates and in accordance with such regulations as may be prescribed
by the Committee on Rules and Administration, notwithstanding, and
without regard to any other provision of law." (70 Stat. 360.)

and duties under this Act, there are authorized to be appropriated for
each fiscal year such sums as may be necessary, to be disbursed by the
Secretary of the Senate on vouchers signed by the chairman or vice
