Summary

Establishes an Interagency Committee made up of one representative from each of these: the Departments of Commerce, Defense, Health and Human Services, Labor, Transportation, and the Treasury; the Small Business Administration; the General Services Administration; the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve; and the President’s executive staff. Each department or agency head must name, within 45 days after December 2, 1997, a policymaking official who reports directly to that head. The Small Business Administration’s spot must be the Assistant Administrator for the Office of Women’s Business Ownership, who will be vice chair and the liaison to the National Women’s Business Council. Other federal employees may join meetings temporarily as needed. The President, after talking with the SBA Administrator, must pick one member to be chair within 45 days after December 2, 1997. Members get no extra pay. If the chair asks, agency heads may assign staff to help the Committee without regard to section 3341 of title 5.
