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.

Facilitating access to science and technology
This executive order directs federal agencies to accelerate technology transfer from government laboratories to universities and private industry, particularly small businesses.
