This request would reallocate funds previously transferred from the Emergency Response Fund (ERF) to the Department of Defense (DOD) and now transfer those funds to the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG). Your request to the Congress of September 21, 2001, transferred funds to DOD for initial crisis response. In light of changing security needs, the Administration now believes that a portion of these funds would be better used to finance high-powered radio transmission capability in Afghanistan to support U.S. international broadcasting activities and broadcasts by the Afghan government. Establishing a 400-kilowatt medium wave (AM) transmitting system in Kabul is the most effective means of ensuring nighttime radio coverage of virtually the entire country. These funds will be used for the purchase and installation of transmitters and associated infrastructure, as well as operational costs. This proposal would reallocate $10.2 million from DOD to BBG for these activities. Pursuant to P.L. 107-38, these funds would be available immediately. I have carefully reviewed this proposal and am satisfied that it is necessary at this time. Therefore, I join the the Broadcasting Board of Governors and the Secretary of Defense in recommending your approval of the requested reallocation. Sincerely, Nay An Nancy P. Dom Deputy Director Enclosure 05/31/02 FRI 15:08 FAX 003 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON Dear Mr. Speaker: In furtherance of the provisions of Public Law 107-38, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Recovery from and Response to Terrorist Attacks on the United States, FY 2001, today I am notifying Congress of my intent to reallocate funds previously transferred from the Emergency Response Fund. As provided in Public Law 107-38, $10.2 million will be made available immediately to the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG). These funds, originally transferred to the Department of Defense, will support an urgent requirement for radio transmitters in Afghanistan. The details of this action are set forth in the enclosed letter from the Deputy Director of the Office of Management and Budget. I concur with the attached comments and recommendations.

D.C. 20503 THE DIRECTOR The President The White House Submitted for your consideration are requests for FY 2002 supplemental appropriations for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Legislative Branch, as well as a request to make available previously appropriated contingent emergency funds for the Department of the Interior (DOI). FY 2002 Supplementals The FY 2002 supplemental request for VA would provide an additional $1.1 billion, which is necessary to ensure payment of mandatory disability compensation and pension benefits to veterans and their families. Accelerating the consideration of backlog claims necessitates this technical change and does not affect the discretionary spending cap and is not subject to pay-as- you-go requirements. The FY 2002 Budget anticipated a higher number of payments because of your initiative to speed up the processing time for veterans' disability claims: VA performance has exceeded those expectations. When a new disability or pension claim is approved the veteran receives a monthly check and a lumpsum retroactive check for all payments back to the date that the claim was initially submitted. The retroactive lumpsum payments, as well as the new monthly benefits to be paid are now estimated to be $1.1 billion more than anticipated. Absent this adjustment, there would be insufficient funds in September to pay the benefits of 2.5 million veterans. This request draws attention to a requirement for legislative action. Your FY 2003 Budget requested an appropriation for an indefinite amount for VA's entitlement programs similar to the treatment of other mandatory programs. Indefinite appropriations language for VA's disability compensation, pension, burial, education, insurance, and vocational rehabilitation programs would eliminate the need for future incremental appropriations and ensure that veterans promptly receive the benefits this Nation owes them. This transmittal also contains requests for FY 2002 supplemental appropriations, totaling $7.9 million, for the Legislative Branch. As required by law, appropriation requests for the Legislative Branch are transmitted without change. 05/21/02 TUE 13:29 FAX 0 003 Emergency Designation Title I of P.L. 107-63, the Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2002, provided $54.0 million in contingent emergency funding to DOI's Bureau of Land Management to address wildland firefighting needs. Your approval of this request would make these funds available for emergency fire suppression and burned area rehabilitation. I recommend that you designate this request for $54.0 million as an emergency requirement in accordance with section 251(b)(2)(A) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended. No further congressional action will be required. Recommendation I have carefully reviewed these proposals and am satisfied that they are necessary at this time. Therefore, I join the Secretaries of the Departments of the Interior and Veterans Affairs in recommending that you transmit these proposals to the Congress. Sincerely, Mitchell Daniels, Jr. Director Enclosures 05/21/02 TUE 13:29 FAX 4 004 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON Dear Mr. Speaker: I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed request for an FY 2002 supplemental appropriation for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). This request is for an increase in the mandatory cost of disability compensation and pension benefits for veterans. During the current year, VA has made dramatic improvements processing claims, significantly accelerating the rate of pay- ments. This supplemental request for $1.1 billion is needed to help pay the benefits associated with reducing the backlog of claims from previous years. Absent this adjustment, there would be insufficient funds in September to pay the 2.5 million veterans who are entitled to benefits. This transmittal also contains requests for FY 2002 supplemental appropriations for the legislative branch. As a matter of comity, appropriations requests of the legislative branch are transmitted without change. Furthermore, in accordance with provisions of Public Law 107-63, the Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2002, I hereby request and make available $54.0 million in emergency appropriations for the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management. These emergency funds will be used to undertake necessary rehabilitation projects on lands damaged by wildland fires and to support fire suppression activities. I hereby designate this amount as an emergency requirement in accordance with section 251 (b) (2) (A) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended. 05/21/02 TUE 13:30 FAX 005 2 The details of these requests are set forth in the enclosed letter from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. I concur with his comments and observations. Sincerely, The Honorable J. Dennis Hastert Speaker of the House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Enclosure 05/21/02 TUE 13:30 FAX 006 DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS VETERANS BENEFITS ADMINISTRATION Compensation and Pensions For an additional amount for "Compensation and Pensions," $1,100,000,000, to remain available until expended. This proposal would provide an additional $1.1 billion to ensure payment of mandatory disability compensation and pension benefits to veterans and their families. Dramatic improvements in processing of older claims, and the associated number of back payments, have resulted in more claims than projected for FY 2002. Absent this adjustment, there would be insufficient funds to pay all of these mandatory benefits for the remainder of the current fiscal year. 05/21/02 TUE 13:30 FAX 1 007 LEGISLATIVE BRANCH GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE Congressional Printing and Binding For an additional amount for "Congressional Printing and Binding," $5,875,000. This request would support unanticipated Congressional Printing and Binding funding requirements based on current workload. This activity provides information products and services requested by, and delivered to, the Congress. / 05/21/02 TUE 13:30 FAX 1 008 LEGISLATIVE BRANCH GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE Government Printing Office Revolving Fund For payment to the "Government Printing Office Revolving Fund," for remediation of asbestos in Government Printing Office buildings, $2,000,000, to remain available until expended. This request would provide $2.0 million to fund asbestos abatement in Government Printing Office buildings. This is necessary to ensure the safety of employees and members of the public and to comply with standards requiring the abatement of friable asbestos. 05/21/02 TUE 13:30 FAX 009 EMERGENCY APPROPRIATIONS: AMOUNTS PREVIOUSLY APPROPRIATED MADE AVAILABLE BY THE PRESIDENT Department of the Interior (DOI) Bureau of Land Management Wildland Fire Management $54,000,000 Title I of P.L. 107-63, the Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2002, provided $54.0 million to DOI for emergency wildland firefighting needs. The availability of this funding was contingent upon the President submitting a budget request to the Congress and designating the entire $54.0 million as an emergency requirement. The President has designated this amount as an emergency requirement, making the funds available for emergency fire suppression and burned area rehabilitation. -COMM.

Daniels, Jr. MED.J Director SUBJECT: Redundant Information Systems Relating to On-Line Rulemaking Initiative One of the key goals of the President's E-Government initiative is to make it easy for citizens to get service from their government. At the top of the list must be making it easier for citizens and businesses to participate in the regulatory process. Accordingly, the On-Line Rulemaking Management E-Government initiative (OLRM) is focused on creating a simple web-based tool for viewing and commenting on proposed regulations. The potential benefit to citizens and businesses in this area is dramatic. A recent E-Government survey by the Pew Foundation showed that 23 million Americans used the Internet to comment on proposed government rules, regulations, and policies in 2001. The purpose of this memorandum is to advise agency heads of our intention to consolidate redundant IT systems relating to the President's on-line rulemaking initiative. Redundant systems make it difficult to find and comment on the large number of proposed regulations-and create performance gaps in the form of reduced customer service and lead to duplicative spending. Consolidating technology investments will better serve citizens by decreasing existing islands of automation and minimizing government costs. Pursuant to Section 5113 of the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996, OMB is required to evaluate information resources management practices of the executive agencies with respect to the performance and results of information technology investments. OMB has already identified several potentially redundant systems across the federal government that relate to the rulemaking process. In some cases, these systems may have purposes other than regulatory development; this initiative focuses on the regulatory development process. Spending on these systems totals nearly $28 million in 2002 and is projected to grow to more than $32 million in 2003. A list of such systems includes but is not limited to the following: Agency System FY '02 FY '03 DOT Docket Management System -- -- DOL/OSHA Technical Information and Retrieval System $1.2 million $1.3 million DOD Electronic Rulemaking Management System -- -- EPA Regulatory Public Access System $2.9 million $2.9 million GSA/OMB RISC/OIRA Consolidated Information System $2.0 million $2.0 million HHS/FDA-CBER Electronic Document Room $1.73 million $7.2 million HHS/FDA-CFSAN Food Additive Regulatory Management System $1.7 million $1.45 million HHS/FDA Agency Information Management System $2.28 million $1.59 million USDA APHIS Information Technology Infrastructure $15.9 million $15.9 million The Department of Transportation, the Managing Partner of the OLRM initiative, is working with the other initiative partners to develop a new business case that will include a technical assessment of the various systems and for integration of the Federal Register's e-docket system with FirstGov. OMB is reviewing funding that supports online rulemaking as well as other related technology investments and similar efforts in other agencies. OMB staff may contact your agency for help in obtaining this information. Once these funds are identified, OMB (working with the OLRM initiative team) will conduct analysis, identify redundant technology investments, and see if any agency achievements could serve as "best practices" for the OLRM initiative. Please take whatever steps are necessary to facilitate your agency's response to this effort. Under the first phase of this initiative, OMB will review the business cases for the identified redundant systems and work closely with the OLRM initiative team to develop the criteria for conducting the technical assessment. The assessment and business case will document on-line features and functions needed for citizens to easily find and comment on proposed regulations. Based on the results from the assessment, a single, front-end web application for receiving public comments on proposed agency rules will be leveraged and used by federal rulemaking agencies. Phase I of the OLRM will be completed by December 31, 2002. Following phase I, the assessment will also document the capability of any "back-end" regulatory/knowledge management system that is currently being utilized or developed by the agencies as part of phase II. Phase II will consolidate duplicative "back-end" information technology systems and deploy an integrated solution built on an existing system and processes. Phase II is expected to be completed by December 31, 2003. Pursuant to section 5113(b)(5)(B) of the Clinger Cohen Act, affected agency IT spending for on-line rulemaking systems must conform to the OLRM program plan. OMB will apportion funds consistent with a migration plan developed by the OLRM initiative team and approved by the President's Management Council.

While GPO was originally created to fulfill the printing needs of Congress, Congress has since expanded the role of GPO by requiring that essentially all Executive Branch printing, binding, and substantial reproduction be done by or through GPO.¹ In 1996, however, the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel issued an opinion concluding that Congress could not constitutionally obligate Executive Branch departments and agencies to utilize GPO.² Nonetheless, to date the Executive Branch has taken no actions to introduce competition into Executive Branch printing. The time has come for the Executive Branch to liberate its agencies from a monopoly that unfairly penalizes both taxpayers and efficient would-be competitors. In FY 2001, GPO charged federal departments and agencies $553 million for printing and duplicating. The vast majority of these costs, however, were for work that GPO contracted out to the private sector. Indeed, in FY 2001, GPO performed only 16% of this printing work in- house, and contracted with private printing enterprises for the remaining 84%. When GPO contracts out with the private sector, it: charges the department or agency for the cost of the private printing plus a 7% premium, which doubles to 14% if lead time is ten or fewer days;3 charges an additional processing fee of $7.50-$15.00 per order, and 1 See 44 U.S.C. § 501 and other authorities. At times, GPO has also interpreted this authority as covering electronic transmissions, such as dissemination by publication on websites. 2 See Memorandum from Walter Dellinger, Assistant Attorney General, to Emily C. Hewitt, General Counsel, General Services Administration, May 31, 1996 at 1. 3 GPO charges a 7% to 14% premium for contracted work until it recoups $20,000 (which occurs on work orders priced over $285,715). After GPO recovers the initial $20,000 premium amount, the 7% to 14% premium decreases to 0.5% for the duration of the price of the order. E/I PAGE OI MAY-03-02 14:54 FROM:OMB ADMIN CU retains all discounts for prompt payment (usually around 5%) offered by private printers, rather than passing this savings to the department or agency. These premiums and fees combined likely cost the Executive Branch $50 million to $70 million per year, if not more, for work that GPO contracts out to private printers. And even when GPO performs the work in-house, GPO charges departments and agencies a 35% premium if the lead time is ten or fewer days. While the Executive Branch has long recognized GPO's technical expertise in many specialized areas, rapid developments in information technology have "chang[ed] the way words and images are put on paper" and "blurr[ed] traditional notions of printing and duplicating."⁴ These developments have led past Administrations, and even the Legislative Branch, to re- evaluate the role of the GPO in Executive Branch printing and duplicating over the past decade. In 1994 President Clinton stated that comprehensive reform of Federal printing could "improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of Government printing by maximizing the use of private sector printing capability through open competitive procedures and by limiting Government- owned printing resources to only those necessary to maintain a minimum core capacity." More recently, David M. Walker, Comptroller General of the United States, testified: GPO's monopoly-like role in providing printing services perpetuates inefficiency because it permits GPO to be insulated from market forces and does not provide incentives to improve operations that will ensure quality services at competitive prices. Federal agencies could be given the authority to make their own printing policies, requiring GPO to compete with private sector printing service providers.⁶ It is the policy of this Administration to ensure that the federal government receives the best possible deal when spending taxpayers' money. Taxpayers tend to benefit most from open competition, rather than government monopolies. Accordingly, Executive Branch departments and agencies should not be required to select GPO when more efficient and cost-effective options are available through the private sector or other avenues. As a matter of Administration policy, Executive Branch departments and agencies should address their printing and duplicating needs under the following guidelines: Executive Branch departments and agencies should select printing and duplicating services based upon the best quality, cost, and time of delivery. 4 Memorandum from then Acting OMB Director Alice M. Rivlin to Heads of Departments and Agencies, September 19, 1994 at 1 ("Rivlin Memo"). 5 Statement on Signing the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act of 1995, 30 Weekly Comp. Pres. Doc. 1541 (July 22, 1994). See also Rivlin Memo at 1 (stating that government printing reform "should improve the efficiency and cost effectiveness of government printing and duplicating by maximizing the use of private sector printing and duplicating capability through open competitive procedures"). " See Statement of David M. Walker, U.S. Senate Committee on the Budget, February 1, 2000 at 6-7. 2 2/3 PAGE OI MAY-03-02 14:55 FROM OMB ADMIN CU If GPO can provide the better combination of quality, cost, and time of delivery, and if the criteria of 31 U.S.C. § 1535 and 48 CFR § 17.503 (if applicable) are met, then Executive Branch departments and agencies may continue to use GPO printing services. Whenever the private sector can provide the better combination of quality, cost, and time of delivery, the department or agency should contract with the private sector. This policy applies to printing or duplicating orders that are valued at more than $1,000 or that are of a continuing or repetitive nature.⁷ The OMB Office of Federal Procurement Policy will make available more detailed guidance on applicable procedures and practices before this policy takes effect. Subject to OMB Circular A-76, Executive Branch departments and agencies may rely upon agency in-house printing and duplicating operations and agency cross- servicing arrangements only when such in-house operations and agency cross- servicing arrangements offer the best combination of quality, cost, and delivery, based upon a full account of all costs. Otherwise, Executive Branch departments and agencies should use GPO or private contractors. Departments and agencies are to provide an annual report to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget on the overall cost of their printing and duplicating operations. Reports are to include a full accounting of all costs of work performed by GPO, work performed in-house, and work contracted directly to the private sector.⁸ Accordingly, OMB is recommending that the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council amend 48 CFR Subpart 8.8 to reflect this policy. Executive Branch departments and agencies that are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation should comply with the policies set forth herein upon publication of a FAR rule implementing this Memorandum. All other Executive Branch departments and agencies should comply with the policies set forth in this Memorandum on or before September 1, 2002. For questions regarding changes to 48 CFR Subpart 8.8 or other related acquisition issues, please contact Mr. Robert Burton, Acting Associate Administrator of OMB's Office of Federal Procurement Policy, at 202-395-3302. 7 This policy does not apply to printing for the Central Intelligence Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, National Imagery and Mapping Agency, the National Security Agency, or other printing that, for reasons of national security, a head of a department or agency determines should not be contracted out to GPO or to the private sector. $ Departments and agencies shall continue to ensure that all government publications, as defined in 44 U.S.C. Part 19, are made available to the depository library program through the Superintendent of Documents. 3 E/E PAGE ai MAY-03-02 14:55 FROM OMB ADMIN CU Withdrawal Marker The George W.

Styles Angen B. Style SUBJECT: Year 2002 Inventory of Commercial Activities The "Federal Activities Inventory Reform Act of 1998," P.L.105-270 (the FAIR Act), requires Federal agencies to prepare and submit to OMB, by June 30 of each year, inventories of their commercial activities performed by Federal employees. OMB is required to review each agency's inventory and consult with the agency regarding its content. Upon completion of the review and consultation, OMB is required to list the available inventories in the Federal Register and the agency head must transmit a copy of the inventory to the Congress and make it available to the public. The FAIR Act then establishes a two-step administrative challenge and appeals process under which an interested party may challenge an agency head's omission or inclusion of a particular activity on the inventory. The President's Management Agenda highlights this Administration's government-wide management initiatives, including the need to expand competition and to produce a more accurate FAIR Act inventory of commercial functions performed by federal employees. OMB has made important changes to the process to streamline and improve the effectiveness of this important information. Please ensure that your inventories, as described below, are received by OMB not later than June 30, 2002. The year 2002 inventory will be the fourth FAIR Act inventory of commercial activities. The Year 2002 agency inventories will be submitted in accordance with the guidance issued last year with several amendments, as follows. Last year's guidance can be found at the OMB website at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/procurement/fair-index.html 1. The Year 2002 Inventory format is attached. To improve the consistency of commercial and inherently governmental inventories on a government-wide basis, agencies will submit their 2002 inventories to OMB using the Excel spreadsheet that is available on the OMB web-site. This spreadsheet and the associated worksheets, include information to help agencies compile and verify the accuracy of their inventories and will permit OMB to analyze inventories within and across agencies. Each agency shall submit a completed spreadsheet, via email, to their OMB Resource Management Office representative and to Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP). Each agency will also send one hard copy of the inventory to the same points of contact. 2 2. The Function/Activity Codes to complete the 2002 FAIR Act inventory of commercial activities are provided on the OMB website. The Function Codes provide a standardized tool for an agency to describe activities as commercial or inherently governmental in nature, based on the agency's application of the criteria in OFPP Policy Letter 92-01 and the FAIR Act. Agencies must use the listed OMB Function Codes in their June 2002 submission, unless a deviation is approved, in advance, by OMB. 3. A list of OMB Function Code definitions developed by the Department of Defense is provided for agency use on the OMB website. Civilian agencies may use these definitions or may tailor them to reflect their individual missions and requirements. Use of these definitions will facilitate consistency within and across agencies. 4. For 2002, agencies will provide to OMB a single inventory submission that reflects both the agency's civilian inherently governmental FTE and civilian commercial FTE, by location and function. Upon completion of OMB's review and consultation with the agency regarding the content of this submission, each agency shall provide a separate report listing only the agency's commercial civilian FTE to the Congress and the public in accordance with the requirements of the FAIR Act. Agencies should anticipate the possibility that after review and consultation, OMB may request the release of inherently governmental inventories. 5. Each agency will include the following as a part of their Year 2002 Annual Report on Agency Management of Commercial Activities, required at Appendix 2, paragraph I., of the OMB Circular A-76 Revised Supplemental Handbook: A summary table showing the total number of commercial FTE and inherently governmental FTE by department/agency and by sub-agency/bureau, with respective percentages. This summary will reflect the same departmental, agency and sub-bureau designations as provided in the inventory. A summary table showing the total number of commercial FTE and inherently governmental FTE funded through reimbursable agreements, by department/agency and by sub-agency/bureau. Total direct funded and reimbursable funded FTE are provided on one of the worksheets available on the OMB web-site. As noted in the President's August 2001 Management Agenda, the Competitive Sourcing Initiative begins with the development of a complete and accurate FAIR Act inventory of commercial activities. As a result of these amendments, OMB expects to conduct a more thorough review of agency inventory submissions and will seek improved consistency within and among agencies in the determination of what is commercial or inherently governmental. The OFPP Policy Letter 92-1, dated September 23, 1992 (Federal Register, September 30, 1992, page 45096), provides detailed guidance on the identification of inherently governmental 3 activities. In conducting its statutory review and consultation regarding the 2002 submissions, OMB will also focus on the following: Does the inventory reflect complete, separable and recurring commercial functions? FTE should not be eliminated from the FAIR Act inventory based upon existing organizational structures, if doing so would result in the elimination of work that would otherwise be included in the scope of a full performance service contract. Is the use of Reason Code "A" justified? The use of Reason Code "A" should be the exception and not the rule for any agency FAIR Act inventory. OMB may request copies of the required written justifications signed by the agency head for each application of Reason Code "A." Has Reason Code "C" been properly applied? OMB has included, as a part of the 2002 FAIR Act Inventory worksheets, a detailed break-out of Reason Code "C." Please address any questions regarding the development of the Year 2002 FAIR Act inventory or the 2002 inventory of inherently governmental positions to Mr. David Childs, Office of Federal Procurement Policy, at (202) 395-6104. Attachment Attachment Content and Format of Inventories To improve the consistency of commercial and inherently governmental inventories on a government-wide basis, agencies will submit FY 2002 inventories to OMB using an Excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is available from the OMB website at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/procurement/fair-index.lhtml The information required in the 2002 submissions is described below.

Larsen Director Office of Administration DRAFT 2-7-2002 Executive Order 3:00p.m PRESIDENT'S BOARD OF ADVISORS ON HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, in order to advance the development of the Nation's full human potential, to strengthen the capacity of Historically Black Colleges and Universities to provide the highest quality education, and to increase opportunities for these institutions to participate in and benefit from Federal programs, it is hereby ordered as follows: Section 1. There is established, in the Office of the Secretary of Education, a Presidential advisory committee that is entitled the "President's Board of Advisors on Historically Black Colleges and Universities" ("Board"). The Board shall prepare and issue an annual report to the President on the results of the participation of Historically Black Colleges and Universities in Federally-sponsored programs. The Board also shall provide advice to the President and to the Secretary of Education ("Secretary") regarding the infrastructure, academic program, and faculty and institutional development needs of Historically Black Colleges and Universities. In the annual report to the President, the Board shall make recommendations on how to increase the private- sector role, including the role of private foundations, in strengthening Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Particular emphasis should be given to enhancing institutional planning and development, strengthening fiscal stability and financial management, and improving institutional infrastructure, including the use of technology, to ensure the long-term viability and enhancement of these institutions. Sec. 2. The Board shall be appointed by the President. There shall be appointed to the Board sitting presidents of Historically Black Colleges and Universities, representatives of other higher education institutions, business and financial leaders, representatives of private foundations, and secondary school administrators. Sec. 3. The White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities ("Initiative"), located in the Office of the Secretary of Education, shall: (1) provide the staff, resources, and assistance to the Board; (2) assist the Secretary in the performance of the role of liaison between the executive branch and Historically Black Colleges and Universities; and (3) serve the Secretary in carrying out the responsibilities described in section 6 of this order. Sec. 4. To carry out the purposes of this order, each executive department and agency identified by the Secretary shall, consistent with applicable law and regulations, enter into appropriate grants, contracts, or cooperative agreements with Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The head of each agency so identified shall establish an annual plan that will establish clear goals for how the agency intends to increase the capacity of Historically Black Colleges and Universities to compete effectively for grants, contracts, or cooperative agreements and to ensure that Historically Black Colleges and Universities benefit from their participation in Federal programs. The agency's annual goal should be clearly reflected in the agency's annual budget submission to the Office of Management and Budget. To facilitate the attainment of the goals established by this section, the head of each agency identified by the Secretary shall provide technical assistance and information to Historically Black Colleges and Universities regarding the program activities of the agency and the preparation of applications or proposals for grants, contracts, or cooperative agreements. Sec. 5. Each executive department and agency designated by the Secretary shall appoint a senior official, who is a full-time officer of the Federal Government, to report directly to the department or agency head with respect to department or agency activity under this order, and to serve as liaison to the Board and to the Initiative. To the extent permitted by law and regulations, each executive department and agency designated by the Secretary shall provide appropriate information requested by the Board and Initiative staff pursuant to the order. Sec. 6. Each executive department and agency designated by the Secretary shall develop an Annual Plan for, and shall document the agency's effort to, increasing the capacity of Historically Black Colleges and Universities to participate in Federally-sponsored programs. Each agency's plan shall describe new or existing agency programs and measurable objectives for proposed agency actions to achieve the purposes of this order. These plans shall be submitted at such time and in such form as the Secretary shall require. In consultation with the participating agencies, the Secretary shall review the plans and develop, with the advice of the Board, an integrated Annual Federal Plan for Assistance to Historically Black Colleges and Universities for submission to, and consideration by, the President. The Secretary shall provide the President of 2 each Historically Black College and University with a copy of an opportunity to comment on, the proposed Annual Federal Plan prior to its consideration by the President.

THE WHITE HOUSE, 4 CC: CF PRESENT THE OFFICE OFFICE UNITED USTATE EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET WASHINGTON, D.C. 20503 o M-01-29 September 4, 2001 THE DIRECTOR MEMORANDUM FOR ALL CABINET OFFICERS AND AGENCY HEADS FROM: Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. MED,J. Director Based on the Mid-Session Review, we are projecting the second largest surplus in history in fiscal year 2001, a surplus slightly greater than that attributable to Social Security. The review factored in the revised economic forecast and the impact of the enacted tax rebate. The remaining surplus will be used to aggressively pay down debt. To assure this result, we need to stay within the outlay forecast. The President has asked that you carefully monitor the fiscal year-end close out process by enforcing prudent financial management practices. While we must meet obligations consistent with the Prompt Pay Act and other applicable law, we need to impress restraint on our financial managers to limit new obligations between now and September 30, 2001. In the past, unobligated balances at the end of the year were thought to count against the agency in subsequent budget reviews. Contrary to this perverse notion, let me assure you that OMB will examine fiscal year 2001 unobligated balances with an eye toward increasing the fiscal year 2002 apportionment for priorities which are rephased or deferred to meet the fiscal year 2001 outlay targets. During the fiscal year 2003 budget review, our OMB examiners will not penalize agencies and departments for failure to obligate funds this fiscal year. Thank you for ensuring responsible spending practices at year's end and throughout the budget cycle. Withdrawal Marker The George W.

Daniels mco.f Director SUBJECT: Proposed Executive Order Entitled "President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology" SUMMARY: This memorandum forwards for your consideration a proposed executive order that was prepared by the White House National Economic Council. The proposed order would establish an advisory committee on science and technology. BACKGROUND: The proposed order would establish, pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. App.), the "President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology" ("PCAST"). The PCAST would be composed of not more than 25 members, one of whom would be the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology ("Assistant"), and 24 of whom would be appointed by the President. The PCAST members would have diverse perspectives and expertise in science, technology, and the impact of science and technology on the Nation. The Assistant and a non-Federal member designated by the President would co-chair the PCAST. The PCAST would advise the President, through the Assistant, on matters involving science and technology policy. It would also assist the National Science and Technology Council ("NSTC") in securing private sector participation in the NSTC's activities. The NSTC is a cabinet-level council chaired by the President that coordinates research and development policies and activities across Federal agencies. The PCAST would ensure that the private sector's perspective is included in that policy-making process. The Office of Science and Technology Policy would provide funding and administrative support for the PCAST. The proposed order would also revoke Executive Order 12882, Executive Order 12907, and section 1(h) of Executive Order 13138, which respectively: (a) created the Clinton Administration's PCAST; (b) increased the membership of the then PCAST from 16 to 19 members; and (c) extended the PCAST to September 30, 2001. None of the affected agencies objects to the proposed executive order. RECOMMENDATION: I recommend that you sign the proposed executive order.

P. 10/12 U.S. Department of Justice Office of Legislative Affairs Office of the Assistant Attorney General Washington. D.C. 20530 June 19, 2001 The Honorable F. James Sensenbrenner Chairman Committee on the Judiciary U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Mr. Chairman: This letter provides the views of the Department of Justice on H.R. 1407 as reported by the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. This legislation would grant antitrust immunity to competing airlines to permit them to coordinate scheduled flight arrivals and departures. While the Department understands the concerns over airport congestion and flight delays, we have concerns about this legislation in its current form. In the face of strong public concern about competitive problems in the airline industry, this legislation is likely to exacerbate those problems, resulting in diminished service and higher prices for the traveling public. Indeed, the proposed exemption would cover conduct that is considered so harmful to competition as to likely be deemed per se unlawful under the antitrust laws. Scheduling is a critical element of competition among air carriers. Carriers compete to offer flights at convenient times, especially for business passengers who pay significantly higher fares. For one-day trips, business passengers prefer early-morning outbound flights and end-of-day return flights. They also prefer carriers with a substantial number of flight frequencies in the city-pair market, to give them flexibility to change flights on short notice when necessary. Both these factors can lead to airport congestion during peak travel times. If legislation is enacted permitting carriers to ccordinate reductions in output, they will predictably endeavor to do 50 in the manner most profitable to themselves. It should be expected that each carrier will nola out for agreements that maximize its ability to obtain, exert, or protect its market power in its "home" or "hub" airports -- and they would have little incentive to do otherwise. By their nature, output-limiting agreements among competitors result in inflated prices. In the current JUL-27-2001 16:28 TO:18 - CEA FROM:BROWN, J.A. P. 11/12 hub-and-spoke system, where most hub airports are dominated by a few carriers at most and a particular city-pair market is often more important to one carrier than to another, carriers will have a strong incentive to make anticompetitive "trades" where each agrees to reduce service in markets important to the others. And they can accomplish this without overtly doing so. Experience shows that this concern is well-founded. Almost ten years ago, the Department sued the major airlines for using their electronic tariff publishing system to negotiate similar "trades" on fares. That is, one carrier proposed fare increases in markets important to another carrier, in exchange for the other carrier making fare increases in markets important to the first carrier. Having condemned such coordinated fare increases, it would be ironic to permit coordinated output reductions, which can be just as harmful to consumers. Further, once the exemption is created it will be difficult to avoid "spill-over" cartel effects. And if carriers do begin to collaborate on other factors on which they should be competing, the antitrust immunity will make it more difficult for the Department to prosecute such conduct. Thus, the proposed exemption could effectively immunize a broad range of harmful anticompetitive conduct even beyond the legislation's intended focus. Although the bill's authors have included provisions attempting to protect the public against anticompetitive abuse, we believe these provisions will prove an inadequate substitute for the antitrust laws. Merely prohibiting discussions of fares or specific city pairs cannot begin to capture all the complex ways carriers can potentially interact to achieve anticompetitive ends behind the shield of an antitrust exemption. And subjecting these agreements to approval by Secretary of Transportation would simply turn us back in the dangerous direction of fare and rcute regulation reminiscent of the regime Congress wisely rejected twc decades ago -- due to its inherent difficulty, uncertainty. and costs to the economy -- in favor of relying on competition. In short, this legislation, as current drafted, could result in anticompetitive behavior. We believe that there may be available to Congress remedies that do not conflict with the enforcement of antitrust laws. Thank you for the opportunity to present our views. Please do not hesitate to call upon us if we may be of additional assistance. The Office of Management and Budget has advised us -2- JUL-27-2001 16:28 TO:18 - CEA FROM:BROWN, : J.A.
