Public Advisory Bodies in the Executive Branch of the Federal Government

Advisory bodies, in general, might well be considered a species which includes innumerable subdivisions and types. In fact, it would seem justifiable to accept any collective groups of individuals in any conceivable situation who render advice, at any time and for whatever reason, to be an advisory body. Of course, using the term in this broadest sense serves small purpose except to demonstrate the infinite possibilities for subdivision and classification of such bodies.
