The document says “shouldWho acts: CommerceHow: internal managementp. 666 in the PDF
What the document says

“Upon entering office, all such committees should be reviewed regarding whether they are required by statute and abolished if they are not.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 666

The chapter states that many of the department's advisory committees are populated by activists from organizations it describes as openly hostile to conservative principles who use the committees to impede conservative policy. It asks that the membership of surviving committees be reconstituted.

What the document actually says

“Upon entering office, all such committees should be reviewed regarding whether they are required by statute and abolished if they are not.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 666
That sentence, in plain words

Check which of these panels the law requires. Close the rest.

What this is about

The department takes advice from outside panels. The book says some are stacked against it. It says panels not required by law should close.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
