                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States, and in 
                order to provide for improved access to employment and 
                training for youth with disabilities, it is hereby 
                ordered that Executive Order 13078 of March 13, 1998, 
                is amended by adding to section 2 of that order the 
                following new subsection to read as follows: ``(h) To 
                improve employment outcomes for persons with 
                disabilities by addressing, among other things, the 
                education, transition, employment, health and 
                rehabilitation, and independent living issues affecting 
                young people with disabilities, executive departments 
                and agencies shall coordinate and cooperate with the 
                Task Force to: (1) strengthen interagency research, 
                demonstration, and training activities relating to 
                young people with disabilities; (2) create a public 
                awareness campaign focused on access to equal 
                opportunity for young people with disabilities; (3) 
                promote the views of young people with disabilities 
                through collaboration with the Youth Councils 
                authorized under the Workforce Investment Act of 1998; 
                (4) increase access to and utilization of health 
                insurance and health care for young people with 
                disabilities through the formalization of the Federal 
                Healthy and Ready to Work Interagency Council; (5) 
                increase participation by young people with 
                disabilities in postsecondary education and training 
                programs; and (6) create a nationally representative 
                Youth Advisory Council, to be funded and chaired by the 
                Department of Labor, to advise the Task Force in 
                conducting these and other appropriate activities.''
