    Memorandum on Review of Regulations
    January 21, 1993

    Memorandum for the Acting Director
    Office of Management and Budget

        The Council on Competitiveness, established March 31, 1989,
    terminated on January 20, 1993.
        Pending completion of a review, existing Executive orders on
    regulatory management will continue to apply. You are directed to
    request the agencies described in section 1(d) of Executive Order 12291
    to assure that in publishing regulations, and subject to such exceptions
    as the Director or the Acting Director of the Office of Management and
    Budget determines to be appropriate, all regulations must first be
    approved by an agency head or the designee of an agency head who, in
    either case, is a person appointed by me and confirmed by the Senate.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    Note: This memorandum was released by the Office of the Press Secretary
