The Board was created by Executive Order 10898 of December 2, 1960, entitled "Establishing the Interdepartmental Highway Safety Board," to provide Federal leadership and guidance of existing and future official activities affecting the safety of travel on public streets and highways and to establish a coordinated traffic safety program for Federal agencies. Amendments were made with Executive Order 10986 of January 12, 1962, and Executive Order 11382 of November 28, 1967. The recommendation that the Board be terminated was made to the Bureau of the Budget by the Under Secretary of Transportation on September 2, 1969. By that time the focus of highway safety leadership had shifted with the establishment of the Department of Transportation, the organization of the National Highway Safety Bureau, and the expansion of highway safety activities of the Federal Highway Administration. Executive Order 11515 of March 13, 1970, entitled "Terminating Certain Bodies Established by the President," terminated the Interdepartmental Highway Safety Board.
Topics include the termination of, or amendment to, the following bodies established by the President: Interdepartmental Highway Safety Board, Interagency Committee on International Athletics, President's Committee on Manpower, the President's Task Force for the Ohio River Bridge Tragedy, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. A copy of Executive Order 11515 of March 13, 1970, entitled "Terminating Certain Bodies Established by the President," is included. Inclusive dates of the materials are 1969-1970.
