handle is hein.amindian/exorwhc0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary For Immediate Release June 26, 2013 EXECUTIVE ORDER ESTABLISHING THE WHITE HOUSE COUNCIL ON NATIVE AMERICAN AFFAIRS By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to promote and sustain prosperous and resilient Native American tribal governments, it is hereby ordered as follows: Section 1.
