Williams, Jr. / United States Senate Dear Senator Williams: This is in reply to your February 17, 1975, request for information that would enable you to answer a constituent's questions concerning the use of appropriated funds to finance lobbying activities by the Citizens Advisory Council on the I Status of Women on-behalf of the Equal Rights Amendment. 2-1 Our inquiries at the Council, the Department of Labor, and the Office of Management and Budget have shown that the Council has undertaken activities on behalf of the Equal Rights Amendment and has used appropriated funds to finance them. Our findings are summarized below. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE COUNCIL The Council was established by Executive Order 11126 of November 1, 1963, to advise the Interdepartmental Committee on the Status of Women, a cabinet level group created by the same order. Executive Order 11221 of May 6, 1965, amended Executive Order 11126 by making minor technical changes in the composition and procedures of the Committee and the Coun- cil. The Committee has not met since 1969, and, since that time, the Council has communicated its recommendations di- rectly to the President. The impetus for creating the Committee and the Council came from the October 1963 report of the President's Commis- sion on the Status of Women concerning the steps needed to help women achieve full participation in American life. The basic objective of the Committee and the Council is to as- sure effective and continuing leadership in advancing the status of women by fostering cooperation among all levels of government, educational institutions, voluntary organiza- tions, employers, unions, and citizens.
