REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
AT THE NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS RECEPTION
The East Room
4:56 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. Ladies and
gentlemen, Secretary Shalala, Secretary Cisneros, and the many other
people in our administration who are here and who have long supported
the non-profit sector of this country and worked in it.
I suppose no one qualifies in that regard more than the
First Lady. (Applause.) Since I first met her I've seen Hillary
serve on children's advocacy boards, legal services boards, hospital
boards, foundation boards. I was counting outside -- I haven't
checked with her, but I know she's helped to form three non-profit
organizations and been associated with at least a dozen others. I
appreciate the fact that she found a little time for me over the
years. (Laughter.)
I say that because I have learned not only as a governor
and a public official and now as President, but also in my own
family, the incredible importance of the work that all of you do and
those who you represent.
When I ran for President, I said as clearly as I could
that I thought the national government had a responsibility to do
many things that we were not then doing, but that there were many
things we could not do. And that in the absence of a partnership
with people in community organizations all across this country, we
would surely never become the nation we ought to be.
I'd like to make a few remarks about that, but I think
it is appropriate, since we're talking about citizenship in its best
form, that I also make a couple of comments at the outset about a
subject very much in the press today.
Since Justice Blackmun announced his retirement last
week, I have been working to find an able replacement. Last night,
Senator George Mitchell, who was my leading candidate for the Court,
came to see me and asked me what I wanted him to do. And I said,
well, I want to talk to you about it. I'd like to appoint you to the
Supreme Court if you think we can do our work here for the country
this year in pursuing health care reform and the other things we have
to do.
And he looked at me and said, you know, I've always
wanted to be on the Supreme Court, and no one can predict what it
would be like if I were nominated and then confirmed while sitting in
the Senate and leading this fight what the impact would be. I have
thought of all the ways we could do it and all the various scenarios,
and I'm only sure of one thing: I cannot imagine that the impact
would be good in terms of our ability to pass health care, welfare
reform or any of the other things we want to do. But his special
concern was with regard to health care reform.
And so he said, I believe I should stay in the Senate
and serve my term out and try to lead this country to health care

reform. That's, after all, the job I was given, and it's my job
until next January, and I'm sorry that the timing is not good, but I
think it's the right thing to do.
I said, well, why don't we sleep on it and see if we can
think of a way to do it? This morning early I called him on the
phone, and he said, I still see it the same way. And I said, well, I
haven't had any thunderbolts of insight about how your analysis is
wrong.
So he said, I still think I ought to do not what I want
to do, but what I should do. And he seemed as comfortable with
decision as anyone that I've ever seen him make. I say that because
this country needs more people who devote themselves not only to what
they would like to do, but what they think the country needs.
He has dedicated himself to doing something that, if
successful, this health care reform, would be the work of a
generation in America. His leadership role is crucial; I value it
and I'm grateful for it.
And so, I would like to begin by thanking him on behalf
of his country for his willingness to forego a great personal
opportunity in anticipation of an enormous struggle with an uncertain
result for a goal that is worth the careers of many us. I thank him
very much. (Applause.)
The interesting thing as I look out at this crowd of you
-- and I see so many of you whom I've known for so many years, I
think of all the struggles that you have been in with an uncertain
result, determined to make life better for people in any number of
ways.
In 1840, Alexis de Tocqueville said, "If Americans want
to proclaim a truth or propagate some feeling by the encouragement of
an example, they form an association." Well, today, at the dawn of a
new century, we're full of associations. Every now and then I hear
from one I don't like all that much. (Laughter.) Sometimes I hear
from those I like very much things that I wish I didn't have to hear.
That is a part of what makes America a special place.
Every item, as I said earlier, of the national agenda I
have sought to pursue so vigorously, ultimately depends upon people
in their private capacities doing things differently. Much of what I
try to do here is designed to empower people to live up to the
fullest of their own capacities and to face their problems in their
own ways most effectively.
Whether that's true in health care reform, or education
reform, or crime prevention, or using National Service through the
sterling work that Eli Segal has done to permit people to solve their
problems at the grass-roots level, you can see it in every
initiative. The whole notion that the government has to empower
people to take control of their own lives depends upon the ability of
people to organize effectively, to lobby their government, to
influence our policies, and also to tell us what they know is the
truth.
Just today we received what I have seen year after year
is one of the best examples of that kind of action with the release
of yet another report from the Carnegie Corporation, and this one I
think one of the best that I have ever read on how we can better meet
the needs of our youngest children. This report is nearly three
years in the making, and I think now, it's fair to say, is the most
comprehensive analysis of the condition of American children aged
zero to three. It awakens us to the fact that millions of our
infants and toddlers are living in shameful conditions, but also and
even more importantly, offers a coherent set of solutions about what
we ought to do about it.

In an attempt to be a better partner with all of you in
what you are doing, we are establishing today a non-profit liaison
network of 26 different liaisons in every important government
department and agency to work with all of you to emphasize in an
organized way how much we value your good work, your input into our
policies, your advocacies of things that still need to be done.
One of the most important things in this complicated age
of zillions of problems is that I identify what it is as President I
can do and what it is I need someone else's help to do -- of all the
things we can spend our time on here in the White House and this
government, which things are most important and which things will
spark the largest release of energy in a positive and constructive
way around the country. You have to help us make that decision, for,
in truth, that's a decision that we make anew here constantly as we
deal with the difficulties as well as the opportunities that come to
this place.
I hope this is the beginning of an even better
partnership. I thank you very, very much for what you do, and I want
to say again, I cannot succeed as President unless you succeed, and
unless you succeed in mobilizing millions of our countrymen and women
for the important tasks that face us. I honestly believe that we may
be at the dawn of a new American renaissance -- a period when we are
able to face, with greater energy and greater hope and a greater
sense of community and common purpose, the challenges before us than
has been the case in a generation.
If we do it, we will make the beginning of the 21st
century the most exciting in American history to be young, to grow,
to come to maturity and to make a life. If we don't, we will have
squandered a great legacy. The only way we can do it is if somehow
there is a role for all of us, not just those of us in high office.
You provide that role for all of us, and I will do my best to help
you play it.
Thank you very much. (Applause.)

Serving the Public Good
A Position Statement on Advocacy By Nonprofit Organizations
The nonprofit sector plays a key role in our society today. In partnership with
government, nonprofit organizations are engaged in service delivery, research, public
education, and much more - in general, they work to build a better America. People
across the country use nonprofit organizations to learn more about key issues of the
day. and to link up with other citizens to create a more powerful voice. Nonprofit
organizations, themselves, also speak to policymakers and the public on behalf of the
people they serve. Advocacy by the nonprofit sector has led to significant
improvements In people's lives at the local, state, and federal level.
Because nonprofit organizations do not stand to profit by lobbying and can provide
enormous insight on public policy issues, Congress has encouraged them to lobby, but
has placed detailed restrictions on the amount of money that can be used for these
purposes. Nonprofits also are barred from using any federal funds for lobbying and
prohibited from engaging in partisan politics.
Nonprofit organizations faithfully comply with all these restrictions and support
enforcement of penalties if the rules are ever violated. However, some in Congress
are proposing to go beyond current restrictions to silence the advocacy voice of the
nonprofit sector. They would. for example, expand the lobbying restrictions to include
all advocacy activities, bar certain organizations that engage in advocacy from
receiving any federal grants, and prohibit federal employees from making workplace
contributions to nonprofits that engage in advocacy. Such efforts will have a chilling
impact on the democratic process as well as the rights of individuals and organizations
to participate in public policy debates.
We strongly oppose any effort to limit the advocacy voice of the nonprofit sector.
Curtailing the historical responsibility to speak to the public and to pollcymakers on
behalf of the people nonprofit organizations serve would be a severe blow to our
democratic freedoms.

POSSIBLE PRESIDENTIAL STATEMENT
ON THE NONPROFIT SECTOR
The Clinton/Gore Administration believes now, just as we stated during the
campaign, that "The wisdom, energy, and resources required to solve our
problems are not concentrated in Washington, but can be found throughout
our communities including America's nonprofit sector."
our Administration believes that the nonprofit sector is one of the
principal contributors to the health and vitality of America's communities,
just as we recognize that government at all levels increasingly has relied
upon nonprofit organizations to provide a vast array of services. In fact,
43% of all human services provided in our society, are delivered by
nonprofit organizations.
In this era of constrained government resources, facing up to increasingly
complex social problems, requires greater collaboration, and a deeper
understanding of relationships between government and the nonprofit sector.
America's public challenges can only be addressed by drawing upon all of
the creativity, knowledge and initiative found in government, the nonprofit
sector, and in the business community also. We must combine the resources
of all of the sectors to solve excruciating problems and to achieve
exhilarating aspirations.
Nonprofit organizations provide perhaps the most important opportunity in
our society for citizen participation and influence. To strengthen those
activities which are so central to a vibrant, thriving democracy, this
Administration will protect the right of nonprofits to be effective
advocates of the causes and people they serve. Advocacy is often a
voluntary organization's most effective service. I am calling for an
examination of any restrictions placed on the advocacy role of nonprofit
organizations and will work to change policies that inappropriately inhibit
such action.
our Administration believes wholeheartedly in private initiative for the
public good, and therefore, we will continue to explore ways to encourage
Americans to contribute time and money to the causes of their choice.
Perhaps most importantly, our Administration will continue to seek to place
it's relationship with the nonprofit sector in the context of the lager
effort to strengthen community in America. Voluntarism, philanthropy,
community service and association activity are all components of the
America democratic experience. Our plan to rebuild America continues to be
based around the simple premise that we must put people first and this
applies to those who volunteer their services as well as those who receive
them.

April 11, 1994
RECEPTION WITH MEMBERS OF THE NONPROFIT COMMUNITY
DATE:
April 12, 1994
LOCATION: State Floor
TIME:
4:00 pm
FROM:
Melanne Verveer
I.
PURPOSE
To recognize the important work of the nonprofit sector and
underscore the Administration's commitment to working in
collaboration with the nonprofit community.
To announce Administration liaisons to the nonprofit
community who will work closely with nonprofits and
foundations on matters of common interest.
II. BACKGROUND
This event is important to reassure representatives of the
sector that the Administration values its work. There has
been & perception held by many in the "independent sector"
that on specific matters of policy affecting the charitable
community, the Administration has been less than
accomodating.
The Nonprofit Community and the Clinton Administration
Over the last many months, members of the nonprofit
community have publicly expressed their dissatisfaction with
some of the Administration's positions on matters that
directly affect the charitable sector: lobbying disclosure,
postal rates and tax policy (specifically, that the floor on
itemized deductions were made permanent). In particular,
they have expressed unhappiness with the Administration's
support for specific provisions in the Lobby Disclosure Act
(LDA) affecting the nonprofits. Because nonprofit
organizations are already required to disclose their
lobbying activities to the IRS, they believe LDA will force
them to keep a second set of detailed records. They feel
that by placing an additional burden on the nonprofit
sector, the pending legislation will inhibit advocacy. (The
bill, passed by the House and the Senate, is now in
conference.)

SOCIAL OFFICE:# 3
Notwithstanding some dissatisfaction, the nonprofit
community has applauded many of the Administration's
initiatives and goals. For example, Secretary Cisneros has
worked actively with nonprofit organizations and foundations
to revitalize inner-city neighborhoods. The nonprofit
community has been generally pleased with the
Administration's positions on specific policy issues, such
as health care reform.
Nonprofit Liaison Network to be announced by the President
The Nonprofit Liaison Network is composed of twenty-six
Administration officials who represent every principal
department and agency within the Administration. The
liaisons will serve as the designated contacts within their
department or agency for the non-profit community. They
will be responsible for communicating with the nonprofit
community and ensuring that the Administration has input
from nonprofits and foundations on matters of policy that
affect them. The nonprofit community is excited about the
official designation of these liaisons; the Chronicle of
Philanthropy, the principal newspaper for the nonprofits,
will print the list of liaisons in its next issue.

OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY
FOR PUBLIC AFFAIRS
Today's FOCUS at HUD
Friday October 8, 1993
Secretary Cisneros announces more than $700 million in grants for
elderly and disability housing initiatives.
Nonprofit groups in 43 states and Puerto Rico will get
$571.8 million under HUD Section 202 to develop 9,043 rental
units for low-income elderly persons.
A total of $140.9 million will be shared by 203
nonprofit groups in 41 states to develop 2, 495 rental
housing units for persons with disabilities, under Section
811.
Both Section 202 and Section 811 provide funding through
capital advances that are made to eligible private,
nonprofits.
House passes authorizing legislation for four HUD FY 94 budget
amendments.
House legislation to authorize the amendments was passed
late Wednesday. The Senate has already passed authorizing
legislation.
The amendments address expansion for community development
corporations; the homeless; income mixing; and pension fund
investment in low-income housing.
A total of $200 million is authorized for an Innovative
Homeless Initiative in which HUD would explore non-
traditional approaches to homelessness in demonstration
partnerships.
The Moving to Opportunities program, which promotes
income mixing by relocating residents from distressed public
housing communities to better neighborhoods, was authorized
at $165 million.
To expand the capacity and ability of community
development corporations, $25 million is authorized, and
would be used to generate a 3-to-1 match from private
sources in awarding grants.
Investment in low-income housing would be aided by a
pension fund partnership. for which HUD is authorized $100
million to work with the AFL-CIO to increase affordable
housing opportunities in 30 cities.
HUD is still awaiting votes on the conference report of
overall appropriations for FY 94.

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
April 12, 1994
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
AT THE NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS RECEPTION
The East Room
4:56 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. Ladies and
gentlemen, Secretary Shalala, Secretary Cisneros, and the many other
people in our administration who are here and who have long supported
the non-profit sector of this country and worked in it.
I suppose no one qualifies in that regard more than the
First Lady. (Applause.) Since I first met her I've seen Hillary
serve on children's advocacy boards, legal services boards, hospital
boards, foundation boards. I was counting outside -- I haven't
checked with her, but I know she's helped to form three non-profit
organizations and been associated with at least a dozen others. I
appreciate the fact that she found a little time for me over the
years. (Laughter.)
I say that because I have learned not only as a governor
and a public official and now as President, but also in my own
family, the incredible importance of the work that all of you do and
those who you represent.
When I ran for President, I said as clearly as I could
that I thought the national government had a responsibility to do
many things that we were not then doing, but that there were many
things we could not do. And that in the absence of a partnership
with people in community organizations all across this country, we
would surely never become the nation we ought to be.
I'd like to make a few remarks about that, but I think
it is appropriate, since we're talking about citizenship in its best
form, that I also make a couple of comments at the outset about a
subject very much in the press today.
Since Justice Blackmun announced his retirement last
week, I have been working to find an able replacement. Last night,
Senator George Mitchell, who was my leading candidate for the Court,
came to see me and asked me what I wanted him to do. And I said,
well, I want to talk to you about it. I'd like to appoint you to the
Supreme Court if you think we can do our work here for the country
this year in pursuing health care reform and the other things we have
to do.
And he looked at me and said, you know, I've always
wanted to be on the Supreme Court, and no one can predict what it
would be like if I were nominated and then confirmed while sitting in
the Senate and leading this fight what the impact would be. I have
thought of all the ways we could do it and all the various scenarios,
and I'm only sure of one thing: I cannot imagine that the impact
would be good in terms of our ability to pass health care, welfare
reform or any of the other things we want to do. But his special
concern was with regard to health care reform.
And so he said, I believe I should stay in the Senate
and serve my term out and try to lead this country to health care

reform. That's, after all, the job I was given, and it's my job
until next January, and I'm sorry that the timing is not good, but I
think it's the right thing to do.
I said, well, why don't we sleep on it and see if we can
think of a way to do it? This morning early I called him on the
phone, and he said, I still see it the same way. And I said, well, I
haven't had any thunderbolts of insight about how your analysis is
wrong.
So he said, I still think I ought to do not what I want
to do, but what I should do. And he seemed as comfortable with
decision as anyone that I've ever seen him make. I say that because
this country needs more people who devote themselves not only to what
they would like to do, but what they think the country needs.
He has dedicated himself to doing something that, if
successful, this health care reform, would be the work of a
generation in America. His leadership role is crucial; I value it
and I'm grateful for it.
And so, I would like to begin by thanking him on behalf
of his country for his willingness to forego a great personal
opportunity in anticipation of an enormous struggle with an uncertain
result for a goal that is worth the careers of many us. I thank him
very much. (Applause.)
The interesting thing as I look out at this crowd of you
-- and I see so many of you whom I've known for so many years, I
think of all the struggles that you have been in with an uncertain
result, determined to make life better for people in any number of
ways.
In 1840, Alexis de Tocqueville said, "If Americans want
to proclaim a truth or propagate some feeling by the encouragement of
an example, they form an association." Well, today, at the dawn of a
new century, we're full of associations. Every now and then I hear
from one I don't like all that much. (Laughter.) Sometimes I hear
from those I like very much things that I wish I didn't have to hear.
That is a part of what makes America a special place.
Every item, as I said earlier, of the national agenda I
have sought to pursue so vigorously, ultimately depends upon people
in their private capacities doing things differently. Much of what I
try to do here is designed to empower people to live up to the
fullest of their own capacities and to face their problems in their
own ways most effectively.
Whether that's true in health care reform, or education
reform, or crime prevention, or using National Service through the
sterling work that Eli Segal has done to permit people to solve their
problems at the grass-roots level, you can see it in every
initiative. The whole notion that the government has to empower
people to take control of their own lives depends upon the ability of
people to organize effectively, to lobby their government, to
influence our policies, and also to tell us what they know is the
truth.
Just today we received what I have seen year after year
is one of the best examples of that kind of action with the release
of yet another report from the Carnegie Corporation, and this one I
think one of the best that I have ever read on how we can better meet
the needs of our youngest children. This report is nearly three
years in the making, and I think now, it's fair to say, is the most
comprehensive analysis of the condition of American children aged
zero to three. It awakens us to the fact that millions of our
infants and toddlers are living in shameful conditions, but also and
even more importantly, offers a coherent set of solutions about what
we ought to do about it.
- 3 -
In an attempt to be a better partner with all of you in
what you are doing, we are establishing today a non-profit liaison
network of 26 different liaisons in every important government
department and agency to work with all of you to emphasize in an
organized way how much we value your good work, your input into our
policies, your advocacies of things that still need to be done.
One of the most important things in this complicated age
of zillions of problems is that I identify what it is as President I
can do and what it is I need someone else's help to do -- of all the
things we can spend our time on here in the White House and this
government, which things are most important and which things will
spark the largest release of energy in a positive and constructive
way around the country. You have to help us make that decision, for,
in truth, that's a decision that we make anew here constantly as we
deal with the difficulties as well as the opportunities that come to
this place.
I hope this is the beginning of an even better
partnership. I thank you very, very much for what you do, and I want
to say again, I cannot succeed as President unless you succeed, and
unless you succeed in mobilizing millions of our countrymen and women
for the important tasks that face us. I honestly believe that we may
be at the dawn of a new American renaissance -- a period when we are
able to face, with greater energy and greater hope and a greater
sense of community and common purpose, the challenges before us than
has been the case in a generation.
If we do it, we will make the beginning of the 21st
century the most exciting in American history to be young, to grow,
to come to maturity and to make a life. If we don't, we will have
squandered a great legacy. The only way we can do it is if somehow
there is a role for all of us, not just those of us in high office.
You provide that role for all of us, and I will do my best to help
you play it.
Thank you very much. (Applause.)

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
April 12, 1994
PRESIDENT CLINTON ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF
ADMINISTRATION LIAISONS TO THE NON-PROFIT COMMUNITY
In an effort to strengthen the partnership between government and the
non-profit sector, the President today will announce the appointment of 25
Administration liaisons to work with the non-profit sector on common goals.
Today's announcement will take place during a meeting at the White House with
200 representatives of non-profit organizations and foundations.
"I have long advocated the role of the non-profit sector. Throughout our
history, the non-profit community has helped our nation adapt to a changing
world by strengthening the core values that shape American life. Today, that role
has never been more important. The Non-Profit Liaison Network will create
better collaboration between the Administration and advocacy and service groups
in a mutual effort to solve the problems of crime, housing, health care and other
pressing national needs," said the President.
The Non-Profit Liaison Network is composed of 25 Administration
officials who represent every principal department and most agencies within the
Administration. The liaisons will serve as the designated contacts within their
department or agency for the non-profit community. They will be responsible for
communicating with the non-profit community and collaborating on matters that
affect them.
Today's announcement is yet another step in the Administration's effort to
support the work of service and advocacy groups. Currently, the Corporation for
National Service - an initiative proposed by President Clinton and passed by
Congress last year - is already working with younger people, students, business
and community leaders to reach our common goals.
Today's meeting will include many individuals committed to serving in a
non-profit capacity. Among the participants are: James Joseph, President of the
Council on Foundations; Brian O' Connell, President of Independent Sector; John
Gardner, former Secretary of HEW and respected expert on the non-profit sector;
Jim foundations. Rouse; Dorothy Height; and the heads of the Coca Cola and Readers Digest
A fact sheet and list of Administration liaisons are attached.
The Liaison Network to the Nonprofit Sector
The Clinton Administration recognizes the vital role that the
nonprofit sector plays in our society.
The Liaison Network to the Nonprofit Sector is an important step
in both recognizing the importance of the nonprofit community to
the Administration, and to working with it to achieve our many
mutual goals.
In this day and time, we all know that government cannot solve
America's problems by itself. We need the nonprofit sector. We
need its energy, wisdom, and resources.
The President and First Lady are seriously committed to working
with the nonprofit community to further the Administration's
initiatives and to forge a constructive dialogue with the non-
profit sector.
The Liaison Network to the Nonprofit Sector is:
the communication vehicle between the Administration and
the Nonprofit world;
an institutionalized Administration mechanism for the
nonprofit sector to exchange information and ideas about the
policies, programs, and services that affect it;
a forum for interagency approaches to issues affecting the
nonprofit community.
The purpose of this Liaison Network is to establish points of
contact in each agency/department for both the Administration and
the sector:
to facilitate regular agency/department nonprofit sector
engagement;
to exchange information and ideas in:
-policy formation,
-funding of programs,
-implementation and service delivery,
-strategies for accomplishing goals,
-sharing of information,
-and other related activities as they emerge to
create a working relationship.

Subject:
Executive Order on enhancing participation in government decision-making
CONTEXT: During the presidential transition, John Monahan, at the request of Bruce Reed, asked us
to prepare an executive order that was intended to enhance the participation of nonprofit organizations
and beneficiaries of federal programs. In preparing the draft, we obtained the input of several nonprofit
leaders, including foundations, groups concerned about the charitable sector as a whole, and specific
issues groups (e.g., low-income, community development). These groups expressed strong support for
the executive order.
Given that we had not heard about the status of the order, Mark contacted you. We gave you a copy
of the draft executive order and a quick summary of its contents. You requested additional materials,
including information on the need for the executive order. This memo provides a rationale for the
order, along with additional statements on specific issues pertaining to the draft.
BACKGROUND: For at least twelve years, nonprofit organizations have faced an adversarial
relationship with the federal government. In January, 1983, the Office of Management and Budget
issued a proposed revision to its Circular A-122 dealing with the use of federal funds to lobby. OMB
proposed a policy advocated by the Heritage Foundation to "defund the left" which seemed to include
the entire nonprofit community, from Planned Parenthood to United Way.
The OMB proposal did two things. First, it expanded the definition of lobbying to include virtually any
type of work involving policy matters. For example, OMB proposed that attending city council meetings
or congressional hearings be considered lobbying. OMB also proposed that commenting on federal
regulations be considered lobbying. Second, it proposed that traditional cost allocation principles be
eliminated. The effect would be that if you used your copier for lobbying purposes (even after hours)
no part of the copier cost could be billed to the federal grant; nonprofits would need two copiers, two
offices, two executive directors, etc.
After 15 months of controversy, more than 140,000 public comments, formation of a large national
coalition in opposition to the proposal, and several redrafts, OMB greatly scaled back its proposal. It
was an ideologically driven fight that greatly altered the relationship nonprofits have with the federal

government. Furthermore, it had an enormously chilling effect on local nonprofits. Today, many
nonprofits still believe they cannot engage in public policy matters because some federal rules prohibit
them.
As if that were not enough, the Internal Revenue Service proposed regulations in 1986 to implement a
1976 tax law that was intended to increase nonprofit lobbying and advocacy.² Prior to 1976, the law
stated that charitable organizations could lobby an "insubstantial" amount, which was never defined. To
rectify the problem, the 1976 law created an expenditure test for nonprofits, providing dollar limits on
the amount of direct and grassroots lobbying.
In 1986, the IRS proposed an expansive definition of lobbying, close to the OMB definition except it did
not include executive branch activities. It also made its rules retroactive to 1976, thereby pushing many
nonprofits over the expenditure threshold. The penalty was loss of tax exemption or heavy financial
penalties, which also would have put many nonprofits out of business.
Like the A-122 fight, an enormous nationwide coalition formed to fight the IRS rules. After a four year
battle, IRS issued final rules that fairly implemented the 1976 law. But there was a price to pay:
nonprofits, particularly smaller charities, have simply stopped participating in public policy matters for
fear of violating some rule.
While these two issues have cast a pall over the entire nonprofit community, many other events have
weakened the partnership that once was so vital. Various proposed actions have further impaired the
relationship -- proposed cuts in nonprofit postal rates and limitations on their use for public education
and advocacy, and specific regulations, such as the HHS abortion counseling ban that controlled the
content of expression. Even more powerful has been the general tone of the federal government
toward the nonprofit community. Instead of inviting input of nonprofits that are actively engaged in
service delivery and monitoring of federal initiatives, the federal government has tried to silence the
community. Instead of working together to improve service delivery, health and safety, and consumer
and environmental protections, the federal government has tried to work around the nonprofit
community.
PROBLEM: Effective governance requires the input of knowledgeable people in order to continually
improve the quality of federal programs. The participation of the nonprofit community and beneficiaries
of federal programs will help agencies carry out their missions, result in better use of tax dollars, and
build opportunities that previously did not exist.
There are over a million nonprofit organizations with about 600,000 of them providing human, cultural,
environmental and other services, attending to social, moral, economic and physical development and
community renewal, and otherwise being involved in public interest work. The sector's expenditures to-
tal more than $370 billion annually, equivalent to about 7% of the GDP. Government provides about
30% of annual nonprofit revenue with the remainder coming from private philanthropy, dues, fees and
earned income. The wisdom and experience developed by these organizations, and the
substantive expertise of the philanthropic foundations which support them, is not being used
effectively by the federal government.

Participation E.O.
Nonprofit organizations have "front-line" experience in every domestic problem area (and many
international ones) in which government is active. Yet, as noted more fully in the attachments, nonprofit
input is missing or has been restricted in:
the formulation of policy, the design of programs, and the promulgation of regulations which
guide federal efforts (direct and through funding states, localities and nonprofits);
the monitoring and evaluation of government programs "on the ground" and from the
perspective of their end-users and beneficiaries:
the establishment of grant mechanisms (including contracts) which encourage equal
participation, improved service delivery by streamlining conflicting rules and regulations, and
effective outcomes as the basis of accountability, instead of those which discourage innovation
by focusing on inputs, qualification demonstrations, and activity milestones;
the identification of information needs and the conduct of data-gathering activities to provide
the intelligence necessary to informed decision-making and policy revision;
the design of resource allocation criteria and processes which reward effective
accomplishment, encourage collaboration, and improve programmatic outcomes; and
the development of policy directly relevant to it, such as restriction of content-specific speech
through federally-subsidy (in Rust V. Sullivan and agency claims of authority under that ruling),
in revisions to nonprofit postal subsidy regulations, and in positions on lobby disclosure
legislation.
PROPOSED RESPONSE: The draft executive order is not only intended to "fix a problem" the
deterioration of the relationship between the nonprofit community and the federal government -- but is a
key element in reinventing government, in building a newer vision of the possibilities for the future.
The potential exists to forge effective new partnerships and other collaborations between government
and the nonprofit sector. The sector is a major element in our social infrastructure, in service to both
the commonwealth and to democratic participation. It can be a powerful ally of government in the
achievement of public ends.
The Executive Order would achieve several things. First, and foremost, it would send a signal to the
nonprofit community that you want to repair the deteriorating relationship. Second, it could be used as
a tool to encourage agencies to be more inclusive in decision-making. Third, it would send a message
to agencies on the policy direction of the Administration. Fourth, it would help improve agency and
program performance. Finally, it could be a major mechanism through which to advance inclusion and
diversity in governance.

SECTOR
EXECUTIVE ORDER ON PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
INDEPENDENT SECTOR
Bob Smucker
Executive Vice President &
Director, Government Relations
BACKGROUND
Both the federal government and the independent (nonprofit organizations and philanthropic
foundations) sector are instruments of a free people created to satisfy social needs and
advance common purposes. While each sector has discrete responsibilities, there is mutual
effort to improve the quality of society as a whole. To enhance both sectors' separate and
combined effectiveness, it is necessary to improve upon collaboration between them.
The independent sector has a manifest capacity for flexibility, creativity, and innovation in
establishing structures, programs and operating methods in attending to social needs. Given
its very nature, it is positioned to identify unique opportunities to meet both emerging and
long-existing social needs, to chart new directions and intervention strategies, to involve
affected people in self-help and other efforts, to quickly launch new programs, and to
generate limited private financial support for them.
Nonprofit organizations most often are the entities closest to, and most intimately involved
with, social problems and those directly affected by them. Through the immediacy of its
experience, the independent sector has first-hand intelligence about the strengths and
weaknesses of various approaches to social problems and the efficacy of both government
and private voluntary initiatives to improve the quality of society.
The federal government has the highly significant ability to set national priorities among
competing social needs, to define and provide resources for major efforts aimed at social
problem prevention or remediation -- as well as development, to designate critical elements
that are to be incorporated in such efforts and their management, and to identify the criteria
and processes deemed appropriate to assure accountability in these programs.
With increasing frequency and magnitude, and at all levels of government, independent
sector organizations are instruments through which government programs are implemented.
In fact, nonprofits expenditures for social welfare are $295 billion annually, which exceeds the
social welfare expenditures of the Federal government ($244 billion) and state and local
government ($138 billion). Even absent direct government support, independent sector
organizations are active in almost every area of federal concern.

PROBLEM
Currently, there are not adequate avenues through which the particular strengths and wisdom
of the independent sector might inform government decision-making and action. This is
particularly problematic because of their shared roles and functions in society. (Clearly,
government decisions influence the independent sector.)
In both the executive and legislative branches of the federal government (as well as other
levels of government) the experience, intelligence and wisdom of the independent sector is
not routinely available to policy-makers. This is particularly problematic with regard to the
federal executive branch since it is its administrative governance powers which so powerfully
frame the design and implementation of social programs.
Nonprofit organizations, whether or not funded in part with federal dollars, live the reality of
the Administration's decisions. As social problems are identified and defined; as responsive
program initiatives are proposed, framed and designed; as eligibility criteria for organizational
and individual participation are set; as rules for administration, operation, record-keeping,
progress reporting, financial accounting, auditing, monitoring and evaluation are promulgated
-- as the entire federal effort is detailed, the independent sector and the people with whom it
works are not heard.
Factors which render unheard the independent sector's voice in administrative governance
are not difficult to understand. As in any complex institution which develops its own
operating culture and language, external parties are neither welcomed nor easily integrated.
Overburdened officials would not eagerly expend the time and energy necessary to an
unassisted and ad hoc effort to identify and involve appropriate external parties. Simply put,
although it might be at a price in terms of the quality and efficacy of the policy and program
outcomes, it is easier and faster to go about the immediate business at hand without
engaging an effort to involve those outside government.
Thus, the challenge is to develop processes through which the Administration might
encourage and facilitate the involvement of the independent sector, and program
beneficiaries themselves, in government decision-making. With the sector's willingness, in
fact its desire, for such collaboration, it is those involved in the processes of administrative
governance who need to be the focus of such effort.
The failure to encourage the independent sector's involvement in the applied social policy-
making of the Administration is to deny public officials the benefit of a wide and deep
reservoir of critical experience and intelligence. Through that denial, ultimately it is intended
program beneficiaries and the society itself that will be denied less than the best possible
government action.

STRENGTHENING DOMESTIC PROGRAMS
THROUGH EVALUATION AND MONITORING
In recent years American business has learned the great benefits of restructuring
enterprises to increase the influence of workers, middle level managers, and even
consumers on decision-making. It is now clearly understood that such participation
improves management, profits, and product quality.
As the Clinton Administration moves to "reinvest government", these same lessons
should be applied. Involving the "consumers" served by federal programs and key service
deliverers would contribute greatly to the process of redesigning those programs to be
more efficient, useful, and effective.
At HUD, for example, where management and programmatic problems are so
deep, service deliverers and beneficiaries could bring great insights and energy into reform
efforts. Nonprofit housing developers, for instance, have a wealth of experience in trying
to work with HUD programs. They could help HUD redesign property disposition and
housing development to be far more efficient, targeted, and appropriate to preserving
affordable housing.
Similarly, housing counselling agencies and low-income neighborhood groups have
tremendous knowledge of how to stem the foreclosure of single-family homes -- a trend
which has cost the Treasury billions of dollars. Nonprofit Community Development
Corporations and tenant associations could help HUD design far more effective policies
for saving troubled projects. This, too, could save immense amounts of federal funds.
Organizations representing low-income people could help monitor and evaluate the
impact of community development and housing programs on their neighborhoods. Who
is in a better position to recommend practical changes to increase those programs'
effectiveness in meeting needs and leading to real change than those most directly affected
-- low- and moderate-income people living and working in those communities? The
National Citizens Monitoring Project on CDBG proved the utility and credibility of such
an approach a decade ago.
The same savings, efficiencies, and improvements in design could come from
involving beneficiaries and nonprofits in reinventing other federal domestic programs.
Who could be more helpful in redesigning outreach efforts for the Earned Income Credit
than those government wishes to reach? Who could be more insightful about creating
a "transitional welfare program" or reforming JTPA than those who experience the
disincentives and inadequacies of current programs every day?

Involving the beneficiaries of programs and nonprofit service deliveries in
reinventing government would add invaluable knowledge, perspectives, and energies for
change which would otherwise be lost. Panels including such people should be an integral
part of these reform efforts at the national level.
Furthermore, this early work should lead into a continuing process of improving
government's effectiveness by promoting ongoing monitoring and evaluation of key
domestic programs by those who experience those programs every day. As partners with
the government, they can bring the experience, insights, motivation, and energies needed
if the process of "reinventing government" is to continue and strengthen over time.

MEMORANDUM:
Data Collection and Public Access to Information
During the past 12 years, data collection by the federal government has suffered from
two types of problems: deterioration in the quality and comprehensiveness of the data currently
being collected, and inadequate collection of data on new issues and new programs. In addition,
public access to that information has been severely and unnecessarily restricted. The best way
to comprehend these issues is through examples of each type of problem, its effects, and why
it should be redressed through mandated change.
I. Data Quality and Comprehensiveness
Example 1: The Office of Civil Rights in the Department of Education surveys a sample of
school districts each year. This sample has deteriorated so badly--it is both too small, and not
representative--that it cannot be used to generalize even to the state level. Moreover, there has
not been a universal survey (all schools) since 1976 (before then, it was done biannually).
We know where we were--we do not know where we are going. Without good,
comprehensive, race/ethnicity data, we do not have any way of measuring what is
happening in our schools across the country in terms of equal educational opportunity.
This data is basic to any informed public decision-making on programs to meet the needs
of the most disadvantaged children in our society. This is especially important for newer
issues, such the needs of Hispanic children--where are they concentrated, are they
ghettoized with black students, or separately, in rural or urban schools, etc.
Example 2. HUD used to collect data on the race and sex of public housing tenants and Section
8/voucher holders. Early in the Reagan administration, that data was no longer reported. In
addition, HUD stopped publishing the HUD Statistical Yearbook.
As even Secretary Kemp had begun to realize, meeting the needs of public
housing tenants, so that they can become economically self-sufficient, does not end with
just bricks and mortar. But without information on who is living in public housing--and
changes in the characteristics of that population--neither public nor nonprofit entities can
make informed decisions about needed support services, changes in policy, etc.
The HUD Statistical Yearbook provided basic information on housing issues, of
use to the government, researchers, and nonprofit organizations. Much of that
information is no longer collected, and/or is difficult to access (see below).
Example 3. The Department of Labor regularly collects data on employment, unemployment,
and who receives what kinds of benefits from programs on a monthly basis. Although we know
the gender and race of employees and the unemployed, wages and hours, and much more, we
do not know the gender or race of UI (unemployment insurance) recipients. This data is

incomplete because most, but not all states report that data regularly (it is only about 5 or 6
states (though not the same ones) each month that do not report data on gender of UI recipients).
There is increasing evidence that programs such as UI systematically underserve
certain populations such as the families of single parent workers and minority workers.
By not obtaining complete information. on a regular basis, as to the race and gender of
UI beneficiaries, the ability of policymakers and the public to judge the effectiveness of
these programs is severely handicapped.
II. Inadequate Data Collection on New Issues and/or New Programs
Example 4. Because of severe cutbacks in housing assistance, as well as other policies,
homelessness mushroomed in the 1980s. HUD has basically refused to seriously research this
issue. Census Bureau efforts to count the homeless in the 1990 census were seriously flawed
and heavily criticized. Meanwhile, community after community struggles in isolation to deal
with this problem.
As long as there is no serious attempt, with the help of nonprofit organizations,
to develop measures of the numbers of homeless individuals and families, and their
needs, this will continue to be a debate with much heat and little light. Without
benchmarks, we cannot, for example, know what the effect of a state eliminating its
General Assistance program will be on homelessness (or on federally funded programs,
at least partially, such as SSI, Disability, Medicaid).
We know, for example, that domestic violence is harmful to women and children.
It is estimated that 40% of women are turned away from shelters because of lack of
space. We don't know how many women--and children--this involves; we do not even
know how many shelters there are for homeless battered women, how many homeless
battered women are served by regular shelters, or how many children are affected.
Example 5. Under the 1988 Family Support Act, Congress mandated that the states create
enhanced education, training and employment programs for welfare recipients, supported by
child care and other support services, including post-welfare child care and Medicaid for one
year afterwards.
Unfortunately, the information collected on this program, called the JOBS
program, is completely inadequate to evaluate the program from any perspective. We
cannot answer such basic questions as:
--How many people have participated in JOBS?
--How many JOBS participants enter employment and/or leave welfare? How
many, lacking a high school degree, obtain one through JOBS?
--How many JOBS participants are getting child care services?
--How many parents are prevented from participating because there is no child
care available--that is, how many people are on waiting lists for child care?
We cannot do a better job of welfare reform the next time, if we do not know how we
did last time--we do not have even the most basic information the impact of the Family
Support Act's JOBS program on recipient's lives or its effectiveness in moving people
from welfare to employment.
Example 6. As the housing crisis deepened in the 1980s, waits for public housing stretched
from a few months, to two to twenty years. Many public housing authorities, especially in large
cities, simply closed their lists. Others never "cleaned" the lists, so they do not know who is
still in need of housing.
Without information on how many people are in need of housing (and qualify for
assistance), and their demographic characteristics (elderly, number of children, etc.), a
simple and useful measure of housing need is lost to policymakers.
Example 7. In the early 1980s, CETA was replaced with JTPA as the major vehicle for
federally financed job training. One of the criticisms of CETA was that there was not adequate
accounting of who was served, and how well.
When the GAO sought to determine, by race and sex, what kinds of training
women and minorities were getting under JTPA, they found that the data gathered did
not give that information, unless the state went beyond federal requirements. Similarly,
though information on public assistance is gathered to determine JTPA eligibility, we do
not know if welfare recipients do better, or worse, than other JTPA recipients, because
this information is not connected to outcomes.
III. Access to Information
Across the board, it was once possible to obtain free copies of publications from the
federal government. Now these publications not only cost money, but it is often difficult to
obtain them expeditiously. (The amount required is not prohibitive; it is hard to believe,
however, that collecting $1.75 for a report does not cost more than it gains for the federal
government, economically as well as good will). One of the worst is HUD: it set up HUD
User, which effectively discourages use of HUD information and data (it only has limited
information--mainly reports; you must know the name of the report--they do not know the
content; it must be prepaid (they are not expensive, unless 'out of print', and then it is the cost
of copying); and it comes 4th class (3 to 4 weeks), unless you pay extra).
The federal government spends millions of dollars on research. Much of this research
is never released, and when it is, it is often difficult to find, much less obtain a copy.
Sometimes bureaucrats simply do not get around to reading, approving and releasing them;
sometimes they do not like the results and simply shelve them.

Improving Public Participation: The Importance of Rust V.
Sullivan
A significant potential impediment to effective public
participation and free expression by the non-profit community is
the Supreme Court's 1991 decision in Rust V. Sullivan. Rust
upheld the Reagan-era HHS "gag" rule on federally funded family
planning clinics, which forbade them from engaging in abortion-
related counseling and required anti-abortion speech by such
clinics. Although the Clinton Administration has repealed the gag
rule itself, it has not addressed the broader implications of
Rust with respect to free speech and public participation. In
fact, a legal brief recently filed under the Clinton Justice
Department has supported a broad reading of Rust, raising
troubling concerns in this area.
Prior to Rust, court decisions had generally upheld the
speech and participation rights of citizens receiving federal
funds and rejected the suggestion that such funding can be
conditioned on giving up First Amendment rights. When the Supreme
Court in Rust upheld just such a restriction, however, the Bush
Justice Department and others argued that Rust authorizes content
restrictions on any recipients of any government funds or
benefits, ranging from censorship of libraries and scientific
research to limits on advocacy by groups receiving federal funds.
According to 1991 Justice Department testimony, when the
government provides funds to a program or activity, then "the
government itself is speaking" and "may constitutionally
determine what is to be said."
The Bush Justice Department attempted in 1991-92 to extend
the Rust holding to justify content restrictions and prior
restraints on the materials or activities of organizations and
individuals receiving federal funds or benefits, including
scientific researchers, AIDS education groups, artists, and
filmmakers. The lower courts consistently rejected such efforts.
As one court explained, if Rust were interpreted so broadly, "the
result would be an invitation to government censorship wherever
public funds flow," posing an "enormous threat to the First
Amendment rights of American citizens and to a free society."
Towards the end of the Bush Administration, the government
appealed the decision in one of these cases, Finley V. National
Endowment for the Arts. The lower court in Finley rejected the
Administration's efforts to extend Rust to the arts, ruling
unconstitutional a Congressional provision which was interpreted

to require that "decency", a constitutionally vague and amorphous
standard, be a factor in evaluating grant applications. The
first appellate brief in the case, in which the Justice
Department was to spell out its substantive position to the court
of appeals, was due on March 29, 1993.
Unfortunately, the brief filed and approved by the Clinton
Justice Department goes beyond simply appealing the lower court
ruling in Finley, and argues in favor of a dangerously broad
reading or Rust, similar to that of the Bush Administration.
Although the brief points out that the court need not and should
not reach the Rust issue, it nevertheless maintains that the
lower court was wrong and that Rust applies fully to federal
funding of the arts. The brief specifically argues that when
government grants are involved, Rust authorizes "limiting the
speech of persons working within the grant confines." In
addition to the general problems with a broad view of Rust, the
brief is of particular concern because of its implicit suggestion
that extensive content restrictions on recipients of federal
funds would be permissible.
Concern has already been raised about the Finley brief, and
some reports suggest that it may have been the result primarily
of Bush holdovers at Justice and the NEA. Even the brief
itself, moreover, does not argue as a matter of policy that Rust-
type restrictions are desirable, but merely that they are
permissible as a matter of law. On prior occasions, President
Clinton has indicated his opposition to content restrictions on
federal funding for the arts. An important step for the Clinton
Administration would be to clarify, via executive order and
otherwise, that it supports extensive public participation as a
matter of policy and opposes broad Rust-type restrictions.
NCNA
National Council of Nonprofit Associations
Government-Nonprofit Grant and Contract Issues
Nonprofit organizations now provide the people of this country with an enormous number of
services under grants and contracts from the federal government, funded directly as well as
through state and local governments.
Government believes nonprofits often can do a better job of service delivery than can
government itself because these charitable organizations frequently are: more flexible and
creative: not bound by bureaucratic civil service and personnel rules: based in the community
and controlled by citizen volunteer boards of director; able to supplement government funds
with volunteers and private financial resources: responsive to community needs; and provide
services less expensively.
However, grant and contract processes established by government often reflect the worst
bureaucratic attributes which it seeks to avoid by working through nonprofits. By being
overly and narrowly definitive and prescriptive in establishing eligibility requirements:
focusing on artificial administrative and operational criteria: imposing inappropriate and
burdensome accounting, auditing and reporting requirements: -- many of which differ agency-
to-agency and even program-to-program -- the government obviates the benefit of many of
the nonprofit characteristics it otherwise seems to value. The contracting and grant system
must be more focused and clear about the agreed outcomes being sought, and nonprofits need
to be held accountable for them.
The unnecessarily technical and bureaucratic imperatives laid on nonprofits which seek and
accept federal grants and contracts mitigate against the best of program outcomes. They raise
the cost to nonprofits of partnership with government. They effectively exclude many smaller
and more innovative organizations from participation.
1828 L Street, NW, Suite 505, Washington, D.C. 20036 (202) 785-3208 Fax (202) 466-5722
Government grant and contract programs often overwhelm nonprofit mission so that too much
work of these organizations is directed to complying with rules and regulations not beneficial
to programs and services. Compliance costs are so high, and compliance so tangential to
service that smaller community-based groups are less and less able to afford participation in
federally-funded programs; government underfunds what it demands of nonprofits as the price
of participation. Larger nonprofits are better able to offset this underfunding with private
fundraising and other means, but that too takes much needed resources away from mission.
We need to find ways to reduces these costs and burdens while improving essential
accountability.
Government grants and contracts need to focus on community problem-solving without
ignoring individual client needs. The design of these programs and their requirements create
a priority on processing people instead of building healthier communities. Government
programs are too narrowly focused and work against holistic approaches to domestic
problems. Even nonprofits with multiple funding streams, often for addressing a single
service need, are faced with conflicting government eligibility, performance and reporting
mandates.
There is a vast nonprofit infrastructure in this country, staffed by talented, creative and
committed people. It is governed by caring and involved boards of directors who, in more
effective partnership with government, can make a much greater contribution to the quality of
life in America. We must turn our attention to substantial reform in government grant and
contract programs. Nonprofits must participate in the process of rationalizing and improving
government policies, procedures and operation.
Improving Public Participation
1731 CONNECTICUT AVENUE, NORTHWEST
A Draft Executive Order
Background
During meetings with Transition officials organized by The Union Institute, OMB Watch, and the
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20009-1146
Coalition on Human Needs, the theme of public participation was raised repeatedly. In
TELEPHONE: (202) 234-8494
response, the Transition staff asked Gary Bass, Mark Rosenman, and Jennifer Vasiloff to draft
an Executive Order to increase the participation of the nonprofit/philanthropic sector and
beneficiaries of government programs.
FAX: (202) 234-8584
We had given the Transition staff the enclosed draft Order, called Enhancing Public Benefit
Programs. The Order would set up a Task Force on Public Benefit Programs which would be
comprised of agency heads, nonprofit/philanthropic representatives, and program beneficiaries.
It would direct agencies to develop plans to: improve the collection of information in order to
improve assessment (e.g., information about equity); provide nonprofits and beneficiaries with
information about availability of public benefit programs; improve dissemination of agency
information/databases; create opportunities for involvement in policy development, program
design, and drafting of regulations; and identify any rules or statutes concerning use of federal
funds that may present a barrier to participation.
The Order also requires agencies to: reduce barriers to nonprofit and beneficiary participation
by streamlining regulations and other program requirements; involve nonprofits and
beneficiaries in program monitoring and evaluation; prohibits agencies from conditioning grants
on control of speech or organizational viewpoint; and encourages local participation in the
decisions regarding distribution and use of federal funds at the local level.
The Task Force would have the responsibility for reviewing agnecy plans and working to assure
their adequacy. OMB also would review all budgetary, regulatory, and other submissions for
OMB WATCH
consistency with the Order.
The Transition staff made various modifications to the draft we submitted. They:
Eliminated reference to a Task Force. They recognized the need for putting teeth into
the E.O., but did not want to create additional bureaucracy. Furthermore, President
Clinton has promised to lower the White House staff by 25% and staffing the Task
Force would move in the wrong direction. They agreed to submit agency plans to OMB
and have the Director of OMB determine within one year whether a task force is
needed.
Deleted reference to undoing the broader impact beyond abortion counseling of the
Rust V. Sullivan Supreme Court "gag" rule. They agreed that something should be
done to mitigate the Court's decision, but were unsure about doing it through this E.O.
(NOTE: Gary Bass and Mark Rosenman have prepared another E.O. on undoing the
Court's decision which was shared with Transition staff.)
Do not want to impose resource requirements on agencies. For example, they did not
like under Sec. 6 Program Evaluations the exploration of use of the IG office resources.
They also were uncertain about the statement that agencies may "provide resources" to
improve participation.
Changed the term "public benefit" to "public service." They agree that "public service"
also has its drawbacks (e.g., it connotes service delivery as opposed to other types of
nonprofit activities). They are open to other types of wording.
Shifted the time frame for the submission of the agency plans from 180 days to one
year.
The White House domestic policy council and public liaison staff are now reviewing the draft
Order to determine if and when the President should sign it. We are not interest in widespread
circulation at this time, but are interested in your comments. Since the Order will continue to be
refined, we will be able to share your ideas in order to strengthen the Order as it moves along.
Any comments you have, please direct them to Gary Bass (202) 234-8494 or Mark Rosenman
