The Council on Environmental Quality was established within the 
Executive Office of the President by the National Environmental Policy 
Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4341 et seq.) to formulate and recommend national 
policies to promote the improvement of the quality of the environment. 
Additional responsibilities were provided by the Environmental Quality 
Improvement Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4371 et seq.).
    The Council consists of three members appointed by the President 
with the advice and consent of the Senate, and one of the members is 
designated by the President as Chairman.
    The Council develops and recommends to the President national 
policies that further environmental quality; performs a continuing 
analysis of changes or trends in the national environment; reviews and 
appraises programs of the Federal Government to determine their 
contributions to sound environmental policy; conducts studies, research, 
and analyses relating to ecological systems and environmental quality; 
assists the President in the preparation of the annual environmental 
quality report to the Congress; and oversees implementation of the 
National Environmental Policy Act. The Chairman
