(b) Limitations on investigatory duties Nothing in this chapter or any other Act shall be construed as authorizing the Commission, its advisory committees, or any person under its supervision or control, to inquire into or investigate any membership practices or internal operations of any fraternal organization, any college or university fraternity or sorority, any private club, or any religious organization.
(c) Reports (1) Annual report The Commission shall submit to the President and Congress at least one report annually that monitors Federal civil rights enforcement efforts in the United States.
(2) Other reports generally The Commission shall submit such other reports to the President and the Congress as the Commission, the Congress, or the President shall deem appropriate.
(d) Advisory committees The Commission may constitute such advisory committees as it deems advisable. The Commission shall establish at least one such committee in each State and the District of Columbia composed of citizens of that State or District.
(e) Hearings and ancillary matters (1) Power to hold hearings The Commission, or on the authorization of the Commission, any subcommittee of two or more members of the Commission, at least one of whom shall be of each major political party, may, for the purpose of carrying out this chapter, hold such hearings and act at such times and places as the Commission or such authorized subcommittee deems advisable. Each member of the Commission shall have the power to administer oaths and affirmations in connection with the proceedings of the Commission.
