MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
Honorable Frank Carlucci
Deputy Director
Office of Management and Budget
SUBJECT: Report on Agnes Recovery Efforts in Wyoming Valle
During our meeting before you sent me on August 12 to the
flooded areas of Pennsylvania as your personal repregentative,
you spelled out definitive instructions in four areas.
1. Work closely with the flood victims themselves.
Meet with them. Visit their homes and businesses.
Listen. Seek their ideas and criticisms as my guide
to actions.
2. Combine all available talent, not only in Pennsylvania
but in the entire Federal Government, into one effective,
well-coordinated team geared to meet the immediate
and long-term needs of the people.
3. Within the law, change or discard any rule if it will
help even one family.
4. Steer clear of politics. Concentrate on results.
Now, about four weeks later, I report to you as your personal
representative about our accomplishments and remaining goals,
Judy
concentrating on Wyoming Valley, by far the hardest hit area.
But also, Mr. President, I report to you as a native of the
Valley who has seen childhood friends in despair, neighborhood
landmarks crushed and former homes in Forty Fort and Kingston in
a pile of rubbish.
I've walked across the square in Wilkes-Barre back to my
office from a meeting three blocks away. It took 45 minutes.
Friends of my family would stop me. Others would shake my
hand and say "Tell the President he's doing great. " Some
would say thanks. Then, there were many who would ask for
help.
