                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, and in order to provide for a more 
                comprehensive workplace giving program, it is hereby 
                ordered as follows:

                Section 1. Executive Order 12353 of March 23, 1982, as 
                amended, is further amended as follows:

                    (a) By revising the introductory paragraph by 
                deleting the term ``voluntary agencies'' and inserting 
                in its place the term ``voluntary health and welfare 
                organizations''; and by deleting the term ``recipient 
                agencies'' and inserting in its place ``recipient

                follows:

``Section 1.

  (a) The Director of the Office of Personnel Management shall make 
arrangements for voluntary health and welfare organizations to solicit 
contributions from Federal employees and members of the uniformed services 
at their places of employment or duty. Federal employees and members of the 
uniformed services can also be solicited to make pledges of volunteer time. 
These arrangements shall take the form of an annual Combined Federal 
Campaign in which eligible voluntary health and welfare organizations are 
authorized to take part.

  (b) The Director shall consider permitting annuitants to make 
contributions to the Combined Federal Campaign through allotments or 
assignments of amounts from their Federal annuities. The Director may 
prescribe rules and regulations to govern the solicitation of such 
contributions and make arrangements to inform annuitants of their ability 
to make contributions in this manner.''

                    (c) By revising section 2(a) by deleting the term 
                ``voluntary agencies'' and inserting in its place the 
                term ``voluntary health and welfare organizations''.
                    (d) By revising the first clause of section 2(b)(1) 
                to delete ``and of local communities''.
                    (e) By revising section 2(b)(2) by deleting the 
                first instance of the word ``agencies'' and inserting

                inserting in its place the term ``charitable health and 
                welfare organizations''.
                    (g) By revising section 2(b)(5) to read as follows:

                      ``(5) Local voluntary, charitable, health and 
                    welfare organizations that are not affiliated with 
                    a national organization or federation but that 
                    satisfy the eligibility criteria set forth in this 
                    order and by the Director shall be permitted to 
                    participate in the Combined Federal Campaign.''

``Sec. 5. Subject to such rules and regulations as the Director may 
prescribe, the Director may authorize:

[[Page 71572]]

  (a) outreach coordinators to conduct campaign promotion in a local 
Combined Federal Campaign; and

  (b) central campaign administrators to administer application and 
pledging systems and to collect and disburse pledged funds.

  Such authorizations shall, if made, ensure at a minimum that outreach 
coordinators and central campaign administrators operate subject to the 
direction and control of the Director and such local Federal coordinating 
entities as may be established; and manage the Combined Federal Campaign 
fairly and equitably. The Director may consult with and consider advice 
from interested parties and organizations, and shall publish reports on the 
management and results of the Combined Federal Campaign.''

                    (j) By revising section 6 to read as follows:

the eligible organizations and provide a direct means to designate funds to 
such organizations. Where allocation of undesignated funds by the central 
campaign administrator is authorized by the Director, prominent notice of 
the authorization for such allocation shall be provided.''

                Sec. 2. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order 
                shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

                    (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with

                appropriations.
                    (c) This order is not intended to, and does not, 
                create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, 
                enforceable at law or in equity by any party against 
                the United States, its departments, agencies, or 
                entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any 
                other person.
                    (d) All rules, regulations, and directives 
                continued or issued under Executive Order 12353, as 
                amended, shall continue in effect until revoked or 
                modified under the provisions of this order.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
