Summary
This order changes how the Intelligence Oversight Board (IOB) fits into the executive branch. It makes the IOB a standing committee of the advisory board called PFIAB, limits IOB membership to no more than four members drawn from PFIAB, and allows the PFIAB chairman to serve on the IOB if the President designates them.
The order also allows the IOB to use full-time staff and consultants if approved by its chairman with the PFIAB chairman's concurrence, and it requires the IOB to report to the President. The change aims to emphasize the IOB's role in executive branch oversight.
