Even before the formal creation of the DPC, some form of a domestic policy office existed in the White House since the 1960s. President Lyndon B. Johnson assigned a senior-level group to organize staff in order to develop domestic policy.
In 1970, President Richard M. Nixon issued an executive order that created the Office of Policy Development, with jurisdiction over economic and domestic policy. In 1993, President William J. Clinton split the Office of Policy Development, forming the present Domestic Policy Council and the National Economic Council.
