Summary
This order changes several existing executive orders. It expands eligibility for the Transportation Distinguished Service Medal from Coast Guard members to any member of the Armed Forces, replaces the "Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change" role on two policy councils with the Chair of the Council on Environmental Quality, updates a regulatory citation for historically black colleges, reestablishes the President's faith-based advisory council for two years, and revokes the order creating the White House Office of Health Reform.
These changes affect military members eligible for the medal, who serves on key White House policy councils, organizations tied to historically black colleges, faith-based groups that advise the President, and the structure of the White House health reform office.
