It establishes the National Security Council as the principal policy forum, designates FEMA's Director as NSC advisor, and details specific lead and support roles for each Cabinet department in areas such as continuity of government, resource management, agriculture, energy, health services, and defense production.
The President's Committee on Employment of People With Disabilities
This executive order establishes the President's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities, replacing a 1969 predecessor committee.

Coordination of economic policies for Sub-Saharan Africa
This 1987 executive order creates an interagency Coordinating Committee for Sub-Saharan Africa, chaired by USAID and co-chaired by Treasury, to align U.S. economic programs and policies toward ending hunger in the region through economic growth, policy reform, and private sector development. The Committee coordinates aid, food assistance, business outreach, and a unified congressional budget justification, while State and Treasury jointly submit an annual report to the President on regional progress.
Prohibiting trade and certain other transactions involving South Africa
This executive order imposes economic sanctions against South Africa's apartheid regime, prohibiting new U.S. government-backed loans, computer exports to security agencies, nuclear technology transfers, and arms imports effective October-November 1985. It also mandates that U.S. companies with 25+ employees in South Africa follow fair labor principles by year-end 1985 or lose U.S. government trade advocacy support.
Management Reform in the Federal Government
This executive order creates the President's Council on Management Improvement, an interagency body chaired by OMB's Deputy Director to develop and oversee government-wide management reforms, formulate long-range plans, identify cross-cutting agency improvements, and resolve interagency management problems. The Council includes senior administration officials from 22 agencies and offices but is explicitly prohibited from interfering with existing lines of authority.
Textile Import Program Implementation
This executive order directs the Treasury Secretary to issue regulations within 120 days to strengthen enforcement of textile import agreements, including tighter country-of-origin rules and bonded warehouse oversight. It also creates a new Textile and Apparel Task Force within Customs to coordinate enforcement, with CITA providing policy guidance.
Commercial expendable launch vehicle activities
This executive order designates the Department of Transportation as the lead federal agency for promoting commercial expendable launch vehicle (ELV) operations by private U.S. companies. It establishes an interagency group to coordinate efforts and directs all federal agencies to streamline regulations and expedite licensing for private space launches.
Statistical policy functions
This executive order transfers statistical policy functions from the Secretary of Commerce to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, with further redelegation to the Administrator for the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. It revokes Executive Order 12013, transfers related records, property, personnel, and funds, and preserves existing rules until modified under the new authority structure.
