As outstanding alumnae of the Young President's Organization
-- with members from all over the world and over 30 countries --
you represent some of the best and the brightest in business.
You understand, as well as anyone, the benefits of business that
go beyond making a product and a profit.
If the earth-shaking events of 1989 and since have reminded
us of anything, it's of the power of free wills, the universal
appeal of free markets, and the undeniable value of free
2
enterprise. These forces of freedom have shown the potential to
do an enormous amount of good, both here and abroad.
At home, this administration is working to turn the natural
wisdom of free wills and free markets to the advantage of every
American: from parental choice that brings competition to
schools, to market-driven emissions trading in the Clean Air Act,
to tenant ownership of public housing projects.
We've rejected the politics of the status quo that turn
every policy debate into a bidding war -- by putting enforceable
caps on federal spending.
We want to bring comparative advantage to the vast industry
of government -- by turning power over to those who can use it
best. Local challenges demand local solutions -- so we're
working to turn significant funding over to the states in a
single grant, for flexible management by the states.
This kind of thinking is finally gaining acceptance across
the political spectrum -- not because the status quo likes it,
but because it works. It looks beyond an all-knowing centralized
government, and in a real sense, creates a market for solutions.
After a quarter-century of failed experiments in government-
mandated well-being, we're pursuing a reform agenda to make
government more market-driven and accountable -- more able to
unleash peoples' natural desire to better their situation.
We're pursuing an economic growth package for broad-based
prosperity, in every sector of society. That means initiatives
like an education strategy to meet the ambitious goals we set
3
last year with the nation's governors; an aggressive R & D
agenda, both public and private; and a job-generating,
enterprise-rewarding cut in the capital gains tax.
This conviction in the power of free wills and free markets
at home also informs our thinking abroad. There's been a fair
amount of talk, after the Gulf War, about the shared ideal of a
New World Order -- where the aggression of one nation meets
collective resistance, in a world community united by the rule of
law.
This ideal -- twice hoped-for in this century, and now again
within our reach -- is widely assumed to mean only our military
security interests. But prosperity provides an important measure
of stability and security. Prosperous nations tend to be more
peaceful -- within and without. Prosperity, then, is integral to
responsible geopolitics.
Just as advanced communications technologies allow
transactions to happen with the tap of a key -- just as
international financial streams seem to run swifter by the day
-- nations that are inter-linked in trading relationships find
their fates interwoven. Their futures, held in common, become
brighter and more secure.
You're all aware of the remarkable trade boom this country
has enjoyed in recent years -- a boom that's benefitted everyone
involved.
Now, we need to do more. A North American Free Trade
USTR Agreement would place us in the largest integrated market on
4
earth: 360 million people, and $6 trillion of annual output. It
would give our neighbors access to the technologies and products
they need to improve their standards of living / further clean
their environments / and create a true community of nations in
this hemisphere.
That's why it's all the more important that global business
leadership finds new ways to communicate and cooperate -- and why
groups like this are of such great value, both for our domestic
prosperity, and our trans-national interests.
When the Berlin Wall came down, we all bore witness to a
powerful transformation in world politics. Our challenge now, is
to break down impediments to enterprise here at home -- and to
break down the barriers to business between nations.

Dear Mr. President:
The nation's Governors appreciate the opportunity to develop a block
grant proposal for consideration by your administration and the
Congress. As you are aware, we have long advocated increased
flexibility in the use of federal funds. This flexibility will allow
us to deliver improved and increased services directly to the citizens
of our states. It will also increase our efficiency by allowing the
coordination of services, particularly in the areas of education and
human resource development.
In response to your offer, the NGA Executive Committee has adopted the
attached proposal which combines forty-seven categorical grants, three
direct loan programs, and three guaranteed loan programs into a block
with eight functional components totaling $15.2 billion. This
consolidation will assist us in making the critical cost-effective
investments in our people, our infrastructure, and our communities for
the 21st century. In addition, the Governors support a pilot project
in five to ten states for the consolidated grant administration of
AFDC, Food Stamps, and Medicaid. If all states were to adopt the
consolidation, this program would currently represent an additional
$5.3 billion.
We very much appreciate your offer and look forward to working with you
and the Congress in a partnership for American's future to enact a new
block grant concept.
Sincerely,
Joons Governor Booth Gorenen Gardner John Governor ashcroft John Ashcroft
EMBARGOED
A PARTNERSHIP FOR AMERICA'S FUTURE
A Proposal for Block Grant Consolidation
EMBARGOED
NATIONAL GOVERNORS' ASSOCIATION
April 1991
Ensuring our nation's future amidst the challenges of the twenty-first century
will require stronger partnerships among all levels of government and greater
efficiency and focus within government programs. Clearly, state and federal
governments must work together to respond to emerging economic and program
issues and to create long-term economic growth.
In February 1991 the National Governors' Association called on Congress and
the administration to develop a long-term domestic partnership with states.
At the same time, President George Bush proposed a new initiative to increase
state flexibility in the management of federal programs. The President asked
Governors to suggest categorical grant programs that could be consolidated
into a larger flexible block grant to states.
In response to the administration's request, the Governors are recommending
that forty-seven categorical grants, three direct loan programs, and three
guaranteed loan programs be combined into a block grant with eight functional
components totaling $15.2 billion. In addition, the Governors support a
optional pilot project in five to ten states for the consolidated grant
administration of Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), Food Stamps
and Medicaid. If all states were to adopt the consolidation, this program
would currently represent $5.3 billion.
The Governors' proposal:
Focuses on long-run investment grants that are critical to U.S.
competitiveness and quality of life in the twenty-first century.
Increases the flexibility of state government, allowing the funds to
be targeted more efficiently to investment in people and
infrastructure.
Reduces the detailed program rules and regulations that create
bureaucratic bottlenecks at both the federal and state levels. This
will allow quicker action to meet the rapidly changing needs of
various populations.
Concentrates on state-administered programs. However, the Governors
welcome the opportunity to work with local officials to expand the
proposal to include other programs they recommend.
Allows greater integration of critical state services. This is
particularly important in the human services area, where health,
education, and social services must be closely coordinated for
at-risk populations.
Competition in the twenty-first century's global marketplace will require a
labor force with sophisticated problem identification and problem-solving
skills, and a world-class infrastructure. Today most of this investment is
provided by state government and, to a lesser extent, local government. While
the federal government invests some funds in education and highways,
historically it has been a modest share.
The importance of education and infrastructure to economic growth is receiving
renewed attention. In a February 1991 Atlantic Monthly article, "The Real
Economy," Robert B. Reich indicates that "increasingly, educated brainpower --
along with the roads, airports, computers, and fiber-optic cables linking it
up -- determines a nation's standard of living." David Aschauer, formerly at
the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, recently estimated that a $10 billion
- 1 -
permanent increase of $7 billion in the annual gross national product -- a 70
percent return per year.
Increasing the financial investment alone in human and physical capital will
not ensure our future competitiveness. It is equally important that this
investment be allocated efficiently. Consolidating small programs into a
flexible block grant will help ensure that the nation's investments are made
in areas that will provide the largest increase in long-run productivity.
Furthermore, state innovation would be stimulated through the increased
flexibility allowed by consolidation.
The current system of 478 separate federal categorical grants (including 220
that go directly to states), each with its own rules and requirements, not
only limits flexibility, but also restricts the ability of state government to
integrate critical state services. The need to coordinate services is
particularly critical in the areas of education and human resource development.
Governors and state legislators are not alone in calling for greater
integration of state services. Increasingly this view is shared by the
business community. For example, a recent report by the Committee for
Economic Development, The Unfinished Agenda: A New Vision for Child
Development and Education, calls for better coordination of services. One of
the committee's ten imperatives for change is that "programs that address the
needs of children and families must be flexible in design, administration, and
funding."
Service providers often operate under crippling constraints and rigid federal
and state funding requirements that prevent them from meeting the complex
needs of the children and families they serve. Both federal and state
governments need to cut through red tape and enhance flexibility to provide
services more effectively and efficiently.
The Governors' Block Grant Proposal
The Governors have consistently called for more state flexibility in
administering the federal categorical programs, especially those that go
directly to state government. Most recently, this has been an NGA priority
for welfare reform and child care legislation. It has been a constant theme
in all of the Governors' meetings with the President and the congressional
leadership.
The Governors reaffirm their strong support for existing block grants to
states, grants that total more than $13 billion in fiscal 1991. Governors
also support the continuation of flexibility without earmarking and excessive
reporting requirements. These block grants cover drug control; maternal and
child health; alcohol, drug abuse, and mental health; preventive health;
low-income energy assistance; social services; job training; small cities;
community services; and education. Governora recommend that these block
grants be expanded and that Congress give the states increased flexibility to
transfer some funds between block grants where they relate to the same service
areas, as in health, or the same targeted populations, such as pregnant women
and children.
This block grant proposal is in addition to NGA's ongoing work with Congress
on major legislative issues, such as health care reform and the renewal of the
Job Training Partnership Act, the Surface Transportation Act, and the Clean
Water Act. In each of these broad legislative initiatives,
- 2 -
coordinate other directly related programs. The federal government should
rely on state administration and performance standards to ensure
accountability, rather than micro-managing state-administered programs.
In surface transportation, NGA policy clearly calls for more consolidation and
flexibility in administering the twenty-seven program categories in the
federal highway program. The Governors call for more reliance on state laws
and procedures, rather than federal project-by-project review, regulation, and
micro-management. Federal cross-cutting rules should rely on state
certification, post audits, and due process resolution procedures. NGA is
pursuing greater flexibility in these programs through the surface
transportation bill, rather than including a transportation component in the
block grant proposal.
The Governors' block grant proposal encompasses three major areas with eight
specific components. In addition, the proposal includes a pilot project for
the consolidated grant administration of AFDC, Food Stamps, and Medicaid.
1. Achieving the National Education Goals
School Readiness (consolidates six programs totaling $1.932
billion)
Head Start, although a component of the readiness category, has
been separated into a its own functional area (totaling $1.952
billion)
The School Years (consolidates eleven programs totaling $5.387
billion)
Adult Literacy and Lifelong Learning (consolidates nine programs
totaling $1.935 billion)
2. Building a World-Class Infrastructure
Clean Water: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency programs
(consolidates six programs totaling $2.347 billion)
Clean Water: U.S. Department of Agriculture programs
(consolidates three programs totaling $204 million)
3. Revitalizing unities
Rural Economic Development (consolidates four grant programs
totaling $328 million, three direct loan programs totaling $632
million, and three guaranteed loan programs totaling $160
million)
Agricultural Productivity (consolidates nine programs totaling
$348.7 million)
4. A Consolidated Entitlement: A Pilot Project
The Governors support an optional pilot project in five to ten
states consolidating the administrative costs for AFDC, Food
Stamps, and Medicaid. If all states were to adopt the
consolidation, this program would currently represent $5.3
billion.
The programs covered under each of the sections are outlined in Attachment A.
- 3 -
The programmatic, financial, and administrative structure of the Governors'
proposal is presented in Attachment B. Guarantees of civil rights, drug-free
work places, and other traditional protections would be ensured by state
government. Principles upon which the block grant proposal is based include
the following:
Prior to enacting any block grants, funding should be guaranteed over
five years at levels agreed to among the states, Congress and the
Administration. Governors will work with the Congress and the
Administration to provide appropriate budget adjustments that
recognize agreed upon national priorities, inflation, and increases
in the demand for services.
Each grant should include a clear statement of purpose, including
goals for the block grant and a description of the measures that will
be used to judge the effectiveness of the use of block grant funds.
The state-by-state allocation of funds should be based on the current
distribution with adjustments made over time to reflect changes in
population, at-risk groups and other factors.
States should be allowed to use existing state procedures for
financial management and auditing of block grant funds.
Funds should be made available to a state when the Governor submits a
plan that demonstrates that the use of funds would be consistent with
the block grant authorizing legislation.
The total value of the Governors grant consolidation proposal is $15.2
billion. In addition, the Governors support an optional pilot project in five
to ten states for the consolidated grant administration of AFDC, Food Stamps
and Medicaid. If all states were to adopt the consolidation, this program
would currently represent an additional $5.3 billion.
The Governors see this proposal as an initial step and welcome the opportunity
to work with Congress and the administration to design a plan that allows for
increased flexibility and investment in long-term productivity.

JUSTIFICATION
The first proposed consolidation would allow Governors to better coordinate
and integrate state and federal programs that help prepare young children,
especially those at risk, for school. Currently, the varying eligibility,
reporting, and program requirements often inhibit a state's ability to provide
the most efficient and effective services. In this proposal Head Start is
converted to a block grant to states, but is not included in the first
consolidation.

JUSTIFICATION
This consolidation would eliminate separate applications and allow better
targeting of state water quality programs on high-priority water problems. In
particular, resources could be used more easily to address multifaceted,
related aspects of water quality problems in a specific geographic area by
focusing attention on the natural system to be protected (e.g., a river or
estuary) rather than on its individual components (e.g., the wetlands).
Substantially greater flexibility in the use of state revolving funds and
management monies would be required.
AUTHORIZING COMMITTEE JURISDICTION
The House Committee on Public Works and Transportation and the Senate
Committee on Environment and Public Works have authorizing jurisdiction.

JUSTIFICATION
The proposed consolidation would allow much greater coordination of current
agricultural water quality programs. Several of the existing programs operate
under priorities set by the federal government rather than by the states.
Eliminating the specific program criteria and allowing the states to use the
money according to their priorities would advance state water quality agendas,
particularly in voluntary, non-regulatory areas. The programs outlined would
continue to be administered by federal agencies, but priorities for the grants
would be developed by the states.
AUTHORIZING COMMITTEE JURISDICTION
The House and Senate Agriculture Committees have authorizing jurisdiction.

Subcommittees and the Senate Agriculture, Rural Development, and Related

The Wetlands Reserve Program was first authorized in the 1990 farm bill,
so it was not funded in 1991. The President has recommended an
appropriation of $124 million for 1992. Although it is not reflected in
the 1991 total, this proposal would include the $124 million in the
agriculture water quality block grant.
- 11 -
Rural Economic Development
OBJECTIVE
To provide states with flexibility to include resources from the Farmers' Home
Administration (FmHA) in individual state efforts to enhance the economic
capacity of rural areas, to consolidate programs administered by U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA) that are directly involved in rural economic
development activities, and to create a coordinated rural economic development
approach between state and federal programs. The consolidation could be used
to provide direct and guaranteed loans, grants, and technical assistance to
rural communities in need of economic assistance.

These numbers are based on the program levels listed in the Fiscal 1992
Budget Summary, U.S. Department of Agriculture, page 63.
** The USDA budget included $2.6 million in 1992 funding to finance the State
Rural Development Councils, which are the cornerstone of the President's
rural development initiative. The President has recommended an additional
$3 million from other agencies to also underwrite the costs of the rural
economic development initiatives. For the purpose of the 1991 total, no
amount is shown for this program. If a 1992 total was shown, it would
include only the $2.6 million that is in the USDA budget.
- 12 -
States currently fund the lion's share of rural economic development
activities. The states have the lead in policy development as well. The
federal programs have resources to accomplish the very things states are
trying to do in rural areas, but the federal activities operate completely
outside the state policy and planning network. A uniform set of priorities
and criteria for rural economic development activities, as developed by the
state and local governments, could improve the efficiency of the use of scarce
resources. The programs outlined would continue to be administered by federal
agencies, but priorities for the grants would be developed by the states.
This block grant is similar in intent to the House rural economic development
legislation that NGA actively supported in the 101st Congress. In 1991, all
the FmHA programs will be transferred to the newly created Rural Development
Administration within the USDA.

Agricultural Productivity
OBJECTIVE
To increase the role of state and county governments in setting the policy
agenda for the U.S. Extension Service by consolidating categorical funding of
federally derived priorities. The funds could be used for purposes and in
amounts determined by state and county governments, including rural economic
development activities, nutrition counseling, water quality education,
technical assistance, etc. Most important, state and county governments could
coordinate the use of all the Extension Service monies with ongoing programs.

JUSTIFICATION
Currently, priorities of the U.S. Extension Service are often set by the
federal government rather than the states. While the system is financed
through a unique combination of federal, state, and county resources, the
federal categorical programs have a tendency to drive the programming for the
entire system. By including all of the categorical programs within the
Smith-Lever allocation, thereby eliminating the federal prioritization of
issues, state and county governments would have more authority over priority
setting.

The House and Senate Agriculture Committees have jurisdiction over the U.S.

A CONSOLIDATED ENTITLEMENT
OBJECTIVE
There would be some cost advantage to combining the administrative costs for
AFDC, Medicaid, and Food Stamps into a consolidated entitlement. Given the
fact that states differ substantially, however, it is important to first do a
pilot program for five to ten states. If the pilots are successful, then
states, at their option, should be able to negotiate individual state
agreements with the appropriate federal agency.

THE GOVERNORS' BLOCK GRANT PROPOSAL
Programmatic Structure
Block grants are intended to increase the effectiveness of programs by
allowing state government greater flexibility in the design and delivery of
services. To provide such flexibility, block grant authorizing legislation
should:
Include a clear statement of purpose, including goals for the block
grant and a description of the measures that will be used to judge
the effectiveness of the use of block grant funds. (Such legislation
should leave to states the specification of the services and programs
to be used to accomplish those purposes.)
Clearly define any limits on financial eligibility for service under
the block grant. (Such legislation generally should not include
categorical eligibility requirements, programmatic earmarks, or other
non-financial eligibility criteria not directly related to the
purpose of the block grant.)
Authorize limited transfer of funds among or between block grants to
provide the flexibility to accommodate differences in state
priorities. For example, 15 percent of block grant X could be used
for block grant Y.
Financial Considerations
While block grants offer additional flexibility and simplify administration,
there is a continuing concern regarding the stability and responsiveness of
future congressional appropriations. There is also a concern that uncertainty
regarding federal audit standards may unnecessarily reduce flexibility and
innovation. To address these concerns, block grant legislation should provide
for the following:
Prior to enacting any block grants, funding should be guaranteed over
five years at levels agreed to among the states, Congress and the
Administration. Governors will work with the Congress and the
Administration to provide appropriate budget adjustments that
recognize agreed upon national priorities, inflation, and increases
in the demand for services.
The state by state allocation of funds should be based on the current
distribution with adjustments made over time to reflect changes in
population, at-risk groups, and other factors.
If federal or state audits determine that block grant funds are being
spent in a manner inconsistent with the purpose of the block grant,
allow the funds subject to exception to remain available for
acceptable purposes for a period of twelve months subsequent to the
audit exception.
- 16 -
maintenance-of-effort provisions, provide that such requirements and
provisions be waived when economic conditions would otherwise force
the reduction of federal funds due to a reduction in state
expenditure.
Administrative Requirements
Block grants are intended to improve government efficiency by reducing
unnecessary and duplicative administrative expenses. To accomplish those
ends, it is critical that new and existing block grants address the following
concerns:
Funds should be made available to the states upon submission of a
state plan that demonstrates that funds will be used in a manner
consistent with this block grant authorizing legislation.
In general, federal mandates, standards or requirements should not be
included in the block grant. If other requirements are to be
imposed, the states should be allowed to certify compliance without
the submission of a detailed plan.
States should be given broad authority to determine the agency or
agencies to be held responsible for the administration of block grant
programs.
States should be authorized to use existing legislative or regulatory
procedures and/or to establish alternative methods to ensure public
input into the development of a state plan for the use of block grant
funds.
States should be authorized to use existing state procedures for
financial management and auditing of block grant funds.
States should have the authority to commingle block grant funds with
related programs as long as the overall purpose of the integrated
program is consistent with the purpose of the block grant.
States should be authorized to establish and/or waive confidentiality
requirements as necessary to facilitate the integration of programs.
Block grant funds may be used to fund their proportionate share of
consolidated case management activities.
Authorizing legislation shall not include limitations on
administrative costs.
Federal approval should not be required for the acquisition of data
processing systems.
- 17 -
surricient data for the legislative oversight of the states' use of
funds under the block grant. Such data should be relevant to the
state plan, and should not be standardized except as necessary to
provide information relative to the performance measures established
by statute.
An amount should be set aside for discretionary use by the Governor
in the block grant equal to the amounts set aside in the current
categorical grants.
These provisions are suggested based on the assumption that existing state law
and procedures are sufficient to ensure that funds are expended in a manner
consistent with legal and political accountability. While it is reasonable
for the federal government to require assurances that funds are being expended
for the purposes set forth in federal legislation, there is no need for
federal intervention in state administrative or legislative processes.
Existing state statutes and requirements already require the distribution of
state tax revenues far in excess of the value of any federal block grant.

STATEMENT OF GOVERNOR CARROLL A. CAMPBELL JR.
OF SOUTH CAROLINA
THE GOVERNORS' BLOCK GRANT PROPOSAL
APRIL 8, 1991
GOOD MORNING, AND WELCOME TO THE RELEASE OF THE GOVERNORS' BLOCK GRANT
PROPOSAL. I'M GOVERNOR CARROLL CAMPBELL, AND I AM HERE TODAY IN MY CAPACITY
AS A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL GOVERNORS' ASSOCIATION EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. JOHN
MARTIN, SPEAKER OF THE MAINE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND THE CURRENT
PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF STATE LEGISLATORS IS ALSO WITH ME
TODAY TO RELEASE THEIR PROPOSAL WHICH IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE GOVERNORS'.
WE ARE APPEARING HERE TOGETHER BECAUSE THE NATION'S GOVERNORS AND STATE
LEGISLATORS HAVE WORKED CLOSELY TO DEVELOP A RESPONSE TO THE BLOCK GRANT
CONCEPT CONTAINED IN PRESIDENT BUSH'S BUDGET. WE BELIEVE OUR PROPOSALS
ENCOURAGE THE KIND OF FLEXIBLE STATE MANAGEMENT THAT ALLOWS ALL LEVELS OF
GOVERNMENT TO BEST SERVE THEIR CITIZENS.
THE GOVERNORS ARE RECOMMENDING THAT FORTY-SEVEN CATEGORICAL GRANTS AND SIX
LOAN AND LOAN GUARANTEE PROGRAMS BE COMBINED INTO A BLOCK GRANT WITH EIGHT
FUNCTIONAL COMPONENTS TOTALING $15.2 BILLION. IN ADDITION, THE GOVERNORS
SUPPORT A PILOT IN FIVE TO TEN STATES FOR THE CONSOLIDATED GRANT
ADMINISTRATION OF AFDC, FOOD STAMPS AND MEDICAID WHICH WOULD, IF IMPLEMENTED
NATIONWIDE, ADD $5.3 BILLION TO THE PACKAGE.
THE BLOCK GRANT PROPOSAL ENCOMPASSES THREE MAJOR LONG-RUN INVESTMENT AREAS:
FIRST, EDUCATION. OUR PROPOSALS ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE NATIONAL
EDUCATION GOALS ESTABLISHED BY THE GOVERNORS AND THE PRESIDENT LAST YEAR, AND
INCLUDE COMPONENTS COVERING SCHOOL READINESS, THE SCHOOL YEARS, AND ADULT
LITERACY AND LIFELONG LEARNING.
SECOND, A WORLD CLASS INFRASTRUCTURE. WE ARE ADDRESSING INFRASTRUCTURE AT
THIS TIME BY FOCUSING ON TWO CLEAN WATER GRANTS. HOWEVER, WE ARE ALSO WORKING
WITH CONGRESS AND THE ADMINISTRATRION TO DEVELOP MORE FLEXIBILITY AS PART OF
THE REAUTHORIZATION OF THE SURFACE TRANSPORTATION ACT. THE GOVERNORS STRONGLY
SUPPORT SUCH FLEXIBILITY WITH RESPECT TO HIGHWAYS.

THIRD, COMMUNITY REVITATIZATION. WE ARE PROPOSING TWO CONSOLIDATIONS TO
2
HELP REVITALIZE RURAL COMMUNITIES.
IN ADDITION, TO REDUCE BUREAUCRATIC RED TAPE, WE ARE PROPOSING A PILOT
PROJECT CONSOLIDATING THE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS FOR AFCD, FOOD STAMPS, AND
MEDICAID.
IN DEVELOPING THE BLOCK GRANT PROPOSAL, OUR GOALS WERE:
TO CONCENTRATE IN AREAS WHERE FLEXIBLE STATE MANAGEMENT COULD BRING
THE GREATEST BENEFITS;
TO FOCUS IN AREAS WHERE GRANTS WERE ALREADY GOING TO THE STATES AND
AVOID INFRINGING ON PREROGATIVES OR RESOURCES THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE
AVAILABLE TO CITIES, COUNTIES AND OTHER LEVELS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT;
AND TO BE AGGRESSIVE ABOUT REDUCING BUREAUCRATIC COSTS;
GOVERNORS HAVE LONG CALLED FOR INCREASED FLEXIBILITY AND THEY HAVE
RESPONDED POSITIVELY TO THE BLOCK GRANT CONCEPT. OBVIOUSLY, THEY WANT TO BE
AS SURE AS POSSIBLE THAT FUNDING LEVELS ARE STABLE, AND THAT FUNDING IS DRIVEN
BY THE NEEDS OF THE PROGRAM AND NOT THE TYPE OF GRANT.
TO ADDRESS THAT CONCERN, THE GOVERNORS PROPOSAL CONTAINS A NUMBER OF
PROGRAMMATIC AND FINANCIAL COMPONENTS. FOR EXAMPLE:
EACH GRANT SHOULD INCLUDE A CLEAR STATEMENT OF PURPOSE INCLUDING
GOALS AND MEASURES THAT WILL BE USED TO JUDGE ITS EFFECTIVENESS;
PRIOR TO ENACTING BLOCK GRANTS, FUNDING SHOULD BE GUARANTEED OVER 5
YEARS AT LEVELS AGREED TO AMONG THE STATES, CONGRESS AND THE
ADMINISTRATION, RECONGIZING NATIONAL PRIORITIES, INFLATION AND
INCREASES IN THE DEMAND FOR SERVICES. THE GOVERNORS HAVE CALLED FOR
A PARTNERSHIP IN SETTING THE DOMESTIC POLICY AGENDA AND THIS KIND OF
PRIORITY SETTING MUST BE PART OF IT.
THE STATE BY STATE ALLOCATION OF FUNDS SHOULD BE BASED ON CURRENT
DISTRIBUTION WITH ADJUSTMENTS MADE OVER TIME TO REFLECT CHANGES IN
POPULATION, AT-RISH GROUPS, AND OTHER FACTORS.
more-
Page 3
STATES SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO USE EXISTING STATE PROCEDURES FOR
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AND AUDITING OF BLOCK GRANTS.
THE GOVERNORS SEE THE BLOCK GRANT PROPOSAL AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE
SERVICES TO OUR CITIZANS, AND WE WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH THE
CONGRESS AND THE ADMINISTRATION IN REACHING CONSENSUS ON A PLAN THAT ALLOWS
FOR MUCH NEEDED FLEXIBILITY AND IMPORTANT INVESTMENT IN LONG-TERM PRODUCTIVITY.

WELCOME
INSIDE WASHINGTON is going to be one of THE most exciting CEO events in
years! In company with the other government leaders, the appearance of
President Bush and Secretary Cheney will take CEO Inside the Leadership and
Inside Government at a very historic moment in the life of the Republic!
And don't miss a moment of any of the extraordinary social events-organized
by Jim and Barbara Wilson for all of us and our many Young Adults. We and
all CEO congratulate Governor Dick and Barbara Snelling and their entire
committee for their successful uses of power, markers, contacts and, not the
least of all, friendships in organizing and presenting this incomparable week.

WELCOME
Barbara and I have had a really delightful experience working with a great
Forum Committee to make sure that your experiences the next few days will
be memorable.
And we welcome you to Inside Washington with CEO which we believe has a
truly well-balanced attention to education and social events which will make
you leave Washington with a different view of the city and a better understand-
ing of how the future of the nation and indirectly of the world, is shaped and
changed by the decisions made here.
From the welcoming ceremony throughout the week, we believe that even
those who come most often to Washington will develop a broader understand-
ing of what makes this place so special.
It is really an honor for any group that comes to Washington to be addressed
by a Cabinet Officer or a few Legislative "V.I.P's". The members of CEO obvi-
ously are highly regarded when the President of the United States and a num-
ber of Cabinet Officers and key leaders of the Congress are not only willing, but
delighted to be a part of your program. And we feel very honored by the invita-
tions of so many members of the diplomatic corps to take us inside their
Embassies on Tuesday night.
Despite the prestige of CEO, the Committees and Committee Chairs certainly
are responsible for the program. It just doesn't come together without the
leadership of Education committee Chairs, Tony and Gay Frank; Social
Committee Chairs, Jim and Barbara Wilson; Communications Chairs, Leo and
Rita Greenland; Hospitality Committee Chairs, Harvey and Dottie White;
Transportation Chairs, Bob and Marion Rosenthal; Tour Chairs, Richard and
Alice Norair; and all the members of each Committee.
Barbara and I take great pride not so much in the results of these great
Committees, as in our good fortune (and good judgment) in putting together
such an outstanding Committee.
Dick and Barbara Snelling

President George Bush
George Herbert Walker Bush was born on June 12, 1924, in Milton,
Massachusetts, to Dorothy Walker Bush and the late Senator Prescott Bush
(R-CT, 1952-62).
Mr. Bush graduated from Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, in June,
1942, and enlisted in the United States Navy as a Seaman 2nd Class. Receiving
his wings and commission while still 18 years old, he was the youngest pilot in
the Navy at that time.
On active duty from August, 1942 to September, 1945 during World War II, Mr.
Bush flew torpedo bombers off the USS San Jacinto. On September 2, 1944,
Mr. Bush's plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire while making a bombing run over
the Bonin Island of Chichi Jima, 600 miles south of Japan. Although the plane
was afire and severely damaged, he completed his strafing run on the targeted
Japanese installation before flying towards sea to bail out. Mr. Bush was able to
bail out successfully and was rescued by a Navy submarine, the USS Finback.
Tragically, his two crew members were killed. For his courageous service in the
Pacific Theater, Mr. Bush was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and
three Air Medals.
On January 6, 1945, George married Barbara Pierce of Rye, New York. Today
they are the parents of five children: George, John (Jeb), Neil, Marvin and
Dorothy Bush LeBlond. Their second child, Robin, died of leukemia in 1953.
The Bushes have 12 grandchildren.
Following World War II, Mr. Bush entered Yale University, where he pursued a
degree in economics and served as captain of the varsity baseball team. He
graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1948.
After his graduation from Yale, George and Barbara Bush moved to Texas,
where he worked as an oil field supply salesman for Dresser Industries. In
1951, he co-founded a small royalty firm, the Bush-Overbey Oil Development
Company. Two years later he co-founded the Zapata Petroleum Corporation. In
1954, at the age of 30, he became co-founder and president of a third firm,
Zapata Off-shore. Zapata pioneered in experimental off-shore drilling equip-
ment.
Following an unsuccessful bid for a Senate seat in 1964, Mr. Bush was elected
to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1966 from Texas' 7th District. One of
the few freshman members of Congress ever elected to serve on the Ways and
Means Committee, he was reelected to the House two years later without oppo-
sition. Mr. Bush lost a second campaign for the Senate in 1970.
During the 1970's, Mr. Bush held a number of important leadership positions.
In 1971, he was named U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. He served there
until 1973, when he became Chairman of the Republican National Committee.

RESOURCES
In October, 1974, Mr. Bush traveled to Peking, where he served as Chief of the
U.S. Liaison Office during the critical period when the United States was
renewing ties with the People's Republic of China. In 1976, Mr. Bush was
appointed Director of Central Intelligence. He is given credit for strengthening
the intelligence community and helping to restore morale at the CIA while
Director of the agency.
In July, 1980, Ronald Reagan selected George Bush to be his Vice Presidential
running mate. Four months later, Mr. Bush was elected Vice President.
After eight years as Vice President, George Bush was nominated for the
Presidency at the 1988 Republican National Convention. During the November
8th election, the Bush-Quayle ticket won 40 states and a landslide Electoral
College victory of 426-112. On January 20, 1989, George Bush was sworn in as
the 41st President of the United States.
The President and Mrs. Bush are residents of Houston, Texas, and are members
of St. Martin's Episcopal Church, where he is a former vestryman. When in
Washington, the President and First Lady attend services at St. John's
Episcopal Church. The President is on the board of the Episcopal Church
Foundation. He serves on the vestry of St. Ann's Episcopal Church,
Kennebunkport, Maine.

Dick Cheney
U.S. Secretary of Defense
Dick Cheney was sworn in as Secretary of Defense on March 21, 1989. While
this is his first Cabinet post, Mr. Cheney has had a distinguished career in pub-
lic service since graduating from the University of Wyoming in 1965, the year
he was an intern in the Wyoming State Legislature.
Receiving his M.A. in 1966, Mr. Cheney headed to Wisconsin to work on his
Ph.D. and intern on the staff of then-Governor Warren Knowles. From
Wisconsin, he left for a Congressional Fellowship in Washington in the office
of the late Congressman William A. Steiger.
Following his stint on Capitol Hill, Mr. Cheney began several years of service
to Presidents Nixon and Ford in various capacities. In 1973, he left govern-
ment service briefly to join an investment advisory firm. But when Gerald
Ford became President in 1974, Mr. Cheney joined the White House staff. In
1975, at the age of 34, he became White House Chief of Staff, a position he
held through the remainder of the Ford Administration.
Mr. Cheney returned to Wyoming in 1977 and in 1978 he was elected to the
U.S. Congress, where he remained until becoming Secretary of Defense. In the
Congress, he quickly rose in the Republican leadership, becoming Chairman
of the House Republican Policy Conference in his second term, and he was
Republican Whip when he left.
Mr. Cheney is married to the former Lynne Vincent of Casper, Wyoming.
Lynne Cheney is Chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
They have two daughters-Elizabeth and Mary.

Lynne Cheney
Chairman
National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)
Lynne Cheney has served as NEH Chairman since 1986. This independent fed-
eral agency provides grants to scholars, colleges, museums, libraries and other
cultural institutions to support research, education, preservation and public
programs in the humanities.
A college teacher, editor, and widely-published author, Cheney is known for her
commitment to the humanities as an important field of study in American
schools and colleges and in the life of Americans. She said in her 1987
Endowment study, American Memory, that the nation's schools are failing to
teach students enough history, literature, or their own cultural heritage. In
the report, Humanities in America, she pointed out that Americans now spend
more money on cultural events than on sporting events, proving that the
American public is interested in the humanities.

Bob Dole
Senate Republican Leader
Senator Bob Dole, one of America's best known leaders, has a distinguished
record of public service that spans almost four decades.
A tough, common sense conservative from America's heartland, Senator
Dole has earned national acclaim with his leadership for budget responsibili-
ty, tax reform, a sound Social Security system, quality and affordable health
care, rights for the disadvantaged and people with disabilities and a better
future for rural America.
Also respected as a legislator and for his exceptional ability to build bridges
among the diverse elements of Congress and the Executive Branch, he was
unanimously re-elected by his Republican colleagues to a fourth term as
their Senate Leader on November 14, 1990.
Bob Dole was first elected to the United States Senate in 1968, after serving
four consecutive terms in the House of Representatives. From 1981 to 1984,
he was Chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee, where he was
instrumental in laying the foundation for the Reagan economic program.
During the second World War, Bob Dole left premedical studies at the
University of Kansas to enlist in the Army. Rising quickly to a position of
command, he became a platoon leader in the legendary Tenth Mountain
Division in Italy. In 1945, he was gravely wounded on the battlefield. As a
result of his injuries, Bob Dole spent thirty-nine months in hospitals fight-
ing for his life, an experience that helped make him a lifelong advocate for
veterans and individuals with disabilities. In 1948, he was honorably dis-
charged from the Army with the rank of Captain.
At age 26, Bob Dole entered public office for the first time when he was
elected to the Kansas House of Representatives. Two years later, he became
Russell County's prosecuting attorney, an office he held until his 1960 elec-
tion to Congress. Senator Dole later became Republican National Chairman
and President Gerald Ford's running mate in the 1976 Presidential election.
Senator Dole received his bachelor's and law degrees from Washburn
Municipal University. He is married to Elizabeth Hanford Dole, President of
the American Red Cross. She served in the Reagan and Bush cabinets as
Secretary of Transportation and Secretary of Labor, respectively and is only
the seventh woman in history to hold a cabinet post. Senator Dole also has a
daughter, Robin, who resides in Washington, DC.

American Enterprise Institute
Theologian, author, journalist, philosopher, professor and U.S. Ambassador,
Michael Novak has served in both Democratic and Republican administrations
in official and unofficial capacities. Mr. Novak's rare gift-the ability to formu-
late and translate philosophical and religious precepts into concrete political
action-makes him one of the most well-regarded figures in Washington
today.
A prolific author with more than twenty books to his credit, Mr. Novak's latest
output, This Hemisphere of Liberty: A Philosophy of the Americas, was called
"an extremely important contribution to the ongoing search for authentic
progress in this hemisphere" in a Wall Street Journal review. His classic 1982
The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism, an analysis and defense of the moral
underpinnings of capitalism, was praised throughout the world as "unique",
"original", "important", "a brilliant book which may someday be regarded as a
classic".
Mr. Novak, with the rank of Ambassador, headed the U.S. Delegation to the
1986 meeting on Human Contacts and also served as the head of the U.S.
Delegation to the U.N. Human Rights Commission in Geneva.
One of the more telling tributes to Mr. Novak was published last year in the
Los Angeles Times magazines. Naming ten Americans who should run for pub-
lic office, the article said, "In his writing, Novak has dealt with such basic ques-
tions as the morality of capitalism and the conflicts between individual liberty
and the public good, but he has never isolated himself from temporal political
debates. To the Senate he would bring his philosophical understanding that "to
be practical you have to have large ideas, because the world is a large one."
In addition to his scholarly work at AEI, Mr. Novak writes a column, The

Clayton Yeutter
Chairman
Republican National Committee
Clayton Yeutter was unanimously elected Chairman of the Republican Party on
January 25, 1991 by the Republican National Committee at its annual meeting
in Washington, D.C.
Immediately prior to being chosen to lead the RNC, he served two years as
Secretary of Agriculture in President Bush's Cabinet. Yeutter also served in the
Cabinet as U.S. Trade Representative during President Reagan's second term.
While in that position, the New York Times described him as "a tough, tireless
negotiator, an idealogical free trader with a pragmatic bent." He earned that
description by leading a myriad of negotiations challenging unfair trade prac-
tices in many countries, including a highly successful agreement under which
Japan is now phasing out its import quotas on beef and citrus. Yeutter also led
the historic negotiation of the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement.
Yeutter's career in public service began in 1966, when he was one of a brain
trust of young people who helped elect Norbert Tiemann Governor of
Nebraska. He then served two years as Tiemann's chief of staff, handling the
governor's legislative agenda.
His next foray in politics was on the national level when in 1972 he served as
Midwest Regional Director of President Nixon's re-election campaign.
Subsequently, he served in what is now the position of Undersecretary of
Agriculture for International Affairs and Commodity Programs, and then
under President Ford he became Deputy Special Trade Representative during
the Tokyo Round of trade negotiations.
In 1978, Yeutter became president and CEO of the Chicago Mercantile
Exchange, the world's second largest futures market. During his seven-year
tenure, the CME became one of the fastest-growing, most innovative
exchanges in the world.
Yeutter graduated with high distinction from the University of Nebraska in

a law degree and a Ph.D. in agricultural economics from the same university,
both at the top of his class, while simultaneously operating a 2,500-acre farm,
which he still owns.
Yuetter and his wife, Jeanne, have four children. Their permanent residence is

Peter Zwack
Ambassador of the Republic of Hungary
to the United States of America
Peter Zwack was born in Budapest on May 21, 1934 into a well-known
Hungarian family. J. Zwack & Company, Distillers was Hungary's largest and
best known distillery, founded in 1840 to produce the family's world famous
digestive liqueur, "UNICUM", invented in 1790. In 1948, the company was con-
fiscated by the Communists and the family fled first to Italy and then to the
United States.
Peter Zwack first married in the United States and has five children born in
Chicago and New York (his eldest son is a United States Army captain). He
became a U.S. citizen in 1959. As a successful businessman, he raised funds for
the Hungarian refugees who fled after the 1956 revolution, through "First Aid
for Hungary", headed by Herbert Hoover and Sargent Shriver.
He returned to Europe in 1970 where he remarried and lived in Florence with
his wife and two children born in Italy. In 1987, he became the first Hungarian
industrialist to return to his native country. He repurchased his family's expro-
priated properties in 1989, setting an example for other major western
investors. Using the original Zwack family secret recipe that the Communists
had tried but failed to imitate, the family distilleries once more began produc-
ing Zwack UNICUM-which this year celebrates its 200th anniversary.
He was elected in 1989 as Chairman of the Hungarian Government's
Enterprise Fund to develop small and medium sized private enterprises. On
July 4, 1990, he was confirmed as the Ambassador of the Republic of Hungary
to the United States, after having to renounce his U.S. citizenship.
Mr. Zwack was educated in Hungary, Switzerland, Italy and the United States,
and speaks Hungarian, English, Italian, German and French.
