History Of Federal Executive Boards
President John F. Kennedy signed a Presidential Memorandum on November 10, 1961 directing the establishment of Federal Executive Boards (FEB) in ten major centers of Federal activity. These new organizations were to serve as field level structures comprised of the highest ranking official of each federal agency (civilian, military, and postal service) in that given area. Seattle was among the ten original FEB locations.
