Subject: Statement on Court Ruling on Health Care Task Force 6.22.93
The White House
Office of the Press Secretary
-----------------------------------------------------------------
For Immediate Release June 22, 1993
STATEMENT BY THE PRESS SECRETARY
The United States Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia ruled today that the President's Task Force on Health
Care Reform, chaired by First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, was
not subject to the Federal Advisory Committee Act.
The Court of Appeals' decision confirms that the Task Force
operated in full compliance with the law.
In reversing the United States District Court on this issue,
the Court of Appeals held that Mrs. Clinton is a "full-time
officer or employee of the government" for purposes of the
Advisory Committee Act. The Court of Appeals' decision means
that the Advisory Committee Act's requirements for open meetings
and production of documents did not apply to the Task Force.
The President announced the creation of the Health Care Task
Force, as well as an interdepartmental working groups, on January
25, 1993. The Task Force held over twenty meetings in April and
May, and has presented health care reform proposals and options
to the President. The President is now in the process of
reviewing those proposals and options, and will be preparing a
final proposal for delivery to Congress.
The Task Force terminated on May 30, 1993. There are no
plans to reconvene the Task Force.
