This executive order, signed by President George Bush on 1991-12-17, establishes federal administrative policy concerning "Extending the President's Council on Rural America." It is a direct, concise executive instruction delivering focused administrative or military commands to department leadership.

Constitutional Assessment: An early statesman would view this measure favorably under Article II, Section 3 (the Take Care Clause).
