    The Council on Environmental Quality formulates and recommends national
    policies to promote the improvement of the quality of the environment.

    The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) was established within the
    Executive Office of the President by the National Environmental Policy
    Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). The Environmental Quality
    Improvement Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4371 et seq.) established the Office
    of Environmental Quality (OEQ) to provide professional and
    administrative support for the

    [[Page 96]]

    Council. The Council and OEQ are collectively referred to as the Council
    on Environmental Quality, and the CEQ Chair, who is appointed by the
    President, serves as the Director of OEQ.
        The Council develops policies which bring into productive harmony
    the Nation's social, economic, and environmental priorities, with the
    goal of improving the quality of Federal decisionmaking. As required by
    NEPA, CEQ evaluates, coordinates, and mediates Federal activities;
    advises and assists the President on both national and international
    environmental policy matters; and prepares the President's annual
    environmental quality report to Congress. In addition, it oversees
    Federal agency and department implementation of NEPA.
