This executive order, signed by President Jimmy Carter on 1978-11-17, establishes federal administrative policy concerning "Executive Schedule." It is a direct, concise executive instruction delivering focused administrative or military commands to department leadership.

Constitutional Assessment: Scrutinized through Article II, Section 2, this action exercises the President's constitutional role as Commander in Chief.
