Intergovernmental
Mid-Winter Meetings
Attached is a final listing of the Cabinet participation in
the mid-winter meeting of the Governors' Conference scheduled
for February 23 and 24. I have expressed to the NGC our
interest in having the Domestic Council Staff members attend
committee meetings with their appropriate Cabinet officials
and NGC welcomes the Domestic Council participation. I
would request that you inform me of your plans to attend the
Conference in order that the NGC staff can make appropriate
arrangements. I think this is an excellent opportunity for
Domestic Council people to speak directly with knowledgeable
people about their substantive areas and to monitor this
Conference for other issues that may be of importance to the
Administration.

CECIL D. ANDRUS
BOISE
GOVERNOR
Washington, D.C.-Gov. Cecil D. Andrus today said "President Ford appears more
responsive to the needs of the States than the Democratically-controlled Congress."
The Governor's comments followed remarks by the President before the winter
meeting of the National Governors' Conference.
Andrus, a Democrat, said the Republican President "listens to what we as
Governors have been telling him." Idaho's Governor specifically cited the
President's support for a continuation of the Federal Revenue Sharing program,
which Ford reiterated in his remarks to the Governors.
"In several meetings with the President I and others Governors have told the
President that proliferating regulations are driving the cost of Federal programs
up and their efficiency level down," Andrus said.
H e added, "we have been telling the President that States can more effectively
handle many Federal programs if the Federal government adopts the block grant approach
instead of the myriad of categorical grants which now confront=us. The President
positively addressed these subjects and reiterated his support."
"I was particularly pleased that the President cited his desire for more
efficient delivery of health services to the States, which I, as chairman of the
Human Resources Committee, have been advocating for some time. The President
illustrated his speech with charts showing his executively-ordered elimination
of various Federal divisi ons which have been unnecessarily involved in the
delivery of health services."
Andrus concluded, "The President has been listening, and frankly, I am both
flattered and pleased."
