WASHINGTON
February 24, 1976
MEMORANDUM FOR:
JIM CANNON
Kathy Jot:
FROM:
STEVE McCONAHEY
SUBJECT:
Agency Intergovernmental
Relations Meeting in
Roosevelt Room
Attached are suggested talking points for the meeting tomor-
row at 11:00 a.m. in the Roosevelt Room. Since you called
the meeting, it is appropriate that you chair the beginning
of the session. You are free to hand over the chair and
depart following your remarks and introduction.
The purposes of this meeting are:
Emphasize and make clear the President's in-
creased interest in intergovernmental relations
and his desire to improve our effectiveness
with State, County and municipal governments.
Introduce me and my staff to the group, and
to identify and meet the representatives in
attendance.
Cite the goals of the White House office.
Your attendance is critical to underlining the President's
interest in this area and to urge the agencies to work
with us and in strengthening the intergovernmental relations
capacity of the Executive Branch.
FORD is LIBRARY SERALD
TALKING POINTS
On January 28 the President appointed Steve McConahey
Special Assistant to the President for Intergovern-
mental Affairs.
This appointment marks an increase in emphasis by the
President in this important area of activity. The
President wants to upgrade this function, both in the
White House and in the departments and agencies.
We need your cooperation and hard work in the months
ahead to build a better mechanism to respond to the
needs and problems presented in Federal/State relations
today.
Many of us heard Governor Lucey at the Governors' Con-
ference yesterday mention the discussion with Jim Lynn
regarding the Governors' complaints about the slow
response from many Fedederal agencies. We can't afford
unresponsiveness if the President's mandate is to be
carried out.
Working together we can greatly improve our ability
to better serve State, County and municipal governments.
Now, I'll let Steve introduce the staff and discuss
his office and discuss in more detail the interagency
coordination.
