STATUTE

    subchapter. Such cooperative agreements may include provisions that
    modify the selection criteria for a grant or assistance program to
    further the purposes of this subchapter or that allow the Council

    are not inconsistent with the grant or assistance program's
    statutory authorization and purpose.

      The Council may -
        (1) review the operation of any Federal grant or assistance
      program to evaluate the effectiveness of such program in meeting
      the purposes and policies of this subchapter;
        (2) make recommendations to the head of any Federal agency that
      administers such program to further the consistency of the
      program with the purposes and policies of the subchapter and to
      improve its effectiveness in carrying out those purposes and
      policies; and
        (3) make recommendations to the President and Congress
      regarding the effectiveness of Federal grant and assistance
