The office of the Director of Liquidation and the Liquidation Advisiory Committee were created within the Office for Emergency Management, Executive Office of the President, by Executive Order 9674, dated January 4, 1946. Their function was to direct, advise, and assist in the orderly and timely winding up of affairs of temporary war agencies and activities, particularly with respect to personnel, records, property, space, and accounts.

The Director was appointed by the President, while the Advisiory Committee was composed of one representative of each of the following agencies: Treasury Department, Bureau of the Budget, National Archives, General Accounting Office, Civil Service Commission, Public Buildings Administration, and the Surplus Property Administration.

The staff consisted of personnel detailed from other agencies. Financing was provided by the White House Allotment from the Emergency Fund for the President under informal agreement between the Budget Bureau and the White House. The Budget Bureau furnished office space and supplies.

Both the office of the Director and the Advisory Committee were terminated as of June 30, 1946, by Executive Order 9744, dated June 27, 1946, the Director of the Bureau of the Budget being charged with disposition of their records and property. A terminal report was submitted to the President on June 18, 1946.
