The President's Committee on Equality of Treatment and Opportunity was formed by President Harry S Truman as part of Executive Order 9981. This committee consisted of Charles H. Fahy as chairman and four other members, two of whom were African-American. The committee's main purpose was to oversee successful racial integration of the US Armed Forces.

President Truman abolished the commission on July 6, 1950, on what he termed successful completion of integration in the armed forces.
