Their comments and discussion
Administration Position
The President stated on April 25, 1975: "There could be
no more practical reaffirmation of the Federal compact
which launched this country than to renew the program which
has done so much to preserve and strengthen that compact --
General Revenue Sharing I am today transmitting to the
Congress proposed legislation to extend and revise the State
and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972. The act, and the
General Revenue Sharing program which it authorizes, expires
on December 31, 1976. I strongly recommend that the
Congress act to continue this highly successful and
important new element of American Federalism well in advance
of the expiration date, in order that State and local
governments can make sound fiscal plans. "
Presidential Documents
Vol. 11, No. 17, p. 439
In the 1976 State of the Union Address the President said:
"Last year I strongly recommended a five-year extension of
the existing revenue sharing legislation which thus far
has provided $23.5 billion to help State and local units
of Government solve problems at home. This program has
been effective with decision-making transfers from the
Federal Government to locally elected officials.
Congress must act this year or State and local units of
Government will have to drop programs or raise local taxes." "
Presidential Documents
Vol. 12, No. 4 , p. 50
Administration Actions
An inter-agency Task Force was established to conduct an
exhaustive review of the existing General Revenue Sharing
program and to make recommendations to the President with
respect to the program's renewal.
President Ford affirmed support for the General Revenue
Sharing Program in the State of the Union Address on
January 15, 1975.
President Ford sent a special message to the Congress on
April 25, 1975, calling for early action on his proposed
legislation to extend and revise the General Revenue Shar-
ing program. The President's proposal calls for a five and
three-quarter year extension of the program maintaining the
basic features of the existing legislation while offering
several significant improvements.

CONFIDENTIAL
ADOPTED January 14, 1976
STRATEGY FOR RENEWAL OF GENERAL REVENUE SHARING - 94th Congress
I. General Agreement
The following proposals are suggested with the following
general agreements:
A. Our goal is to have General Revenue Sharing (GRS) passed
by the House by the end of March; by the Senate before Easter
recess (mid-April).
B. The major focus of attention must be on the Congress as
follows:
1. House Democratic Leadership
2. Other House Democrats
3. Senate Democratic Leadership
4. Other Senate Democrats
C. It is vital that we present a united stance concerning
renewal.
II. Set of Principles
The Public Interest Groups (PIGs) need to agree on and
publicize the following principles to which they agree concer-
ning renewal.
In order to help solve the serious financial problems
faced by state and local governments and to strengthen the
role of these governments in our federal system, the National
Governors' Conference, National Conference of State Legislatures,
National Association of Counties, National League of Cities,
United States Conference of Mayors, and International City
Management Association urge the Congress to reenact the State
and Local Fiscal Assistance Act (General Revenue Sharing) in
time for jurisdictions with a mid-year fiscal year to make
sound budget decisions.
State and local officials support renewal according to
the following principles:
1. Continuation of the distribution of funds directly
to states and general purpose governments using the
existing distribution formula which reflects need, popu-
lation and tax effort.
2. No additional categorization or program or project restrictions on
the use of the funds.
3. Long term, multi-year funding.
4. An increase in annual funding level to compensate
for inflation.
5. Enforcement of civil rights provisions of the Act to
guarantee non-discriminatory expenditure of funds with
adequate provision for due process for all individuals
and governments involved. Enforcement responsibility for
all civil rights provisions consolidated in a single FORD
federal agency.
ERALD LIBRARY
6. Guarantee of public hearings providing for citizen parti
cipation in revenue sharing expenditures should be conducted
by recipient governments as part of their normal budget
process.
III. DEMOCRATIC STRATEGY
A. Commitments needed from Democrat Leadership in House as follows:
1. Commitment to floor action in the House by the end of March.
2. Commitment on clearing all procedural problems
concerning passage especially Rules Committee and
Budget Committee.
3. Acceptance of the PIGs revenue sharing renewal prin-
ciples.
B. All PIGs winter- legislative meetings (schedule attached)
will highlight GRS renewal as top priority and meetings
will be held with Democratic leadership by each group to
obtain commitments cutlined in III A.
C. Strong support for renewal needed by Democrats:
1
Continue to seek additional House Democrats to sign
AuCoin letter to Democratic leadership.
2. Insure that strong support for renewal according
to PIG principles be included in Democratic Plat-
form. PIGS should be sure that GRS position is
presented at four regional hearings in April and
May as well as national hearings.
3. All Democratic candidates to be kept constantly
aware of revenue sharing renewal needs. Ideas
needed on methods.
IV. NEW COALITION GRS ACTIVITY
A. Meeting to be set up with House and Senate Democratic
and Republican Leadership to urge renewal according to
PIG principles. Coalition members to be fully briefed
on the morning before. (Jim Martin meeting with Mans-
field January 19 to ask him to host luncheon for Coalition,
Executive Directors and Leadership on February 4.)
B. Following Congressional Leadership meeting, press confer-
ence to be held, joint statement on renewal principles
to be released.
C. PIGs to ask state, county, city officials in each state
to hold joint press conference at same time.
D. Any meeting with the President on GRS should be held at
at separate time.
V. TARGET ON KEY HOUSE COMMITTEE MEMBERS
A. Each PIG will designate one of their officials as a contact
with each member of the key House Committees: Government
Operations; Appropriations, Budget. This will enable us
to have four possible ways of reaching a member during
mark-up, etc.
B. As a first step, all PIGs will designate contact for House
Intergovernmental Relations Subcommittee by January 14.
(Name, title, address, telephone)
VI. PIG-GRS TASK FORCE (PIGGERS)
A. In order to centralize information and coordinate efforts,
Aliceann Fritschler of NACo will act as Chairperson of
the PIG-GRS (PIGGERS). She will maintain and distribute
information on all members positions; policy positions of
all PIGs; convene meetings and prepare minutes as needed.
B. All PIGs will share all relevant information concerning
members positions and NACo will maintain central file and
set up a "boiler room operation" if needed.
C. As soon as possible, PIGGERS will meet with Del Goldberg
to discuss subcommittee's plans for mark-up.
D. Once major issues to be discussed by the sub.committee
are determined, background papers will be prepared by
PIGGERS on each issue. Work will be divided by issue
among PIGs if possible.
VII. GRS Allies
Allies such as White House, AFSCME, U. S. Chamber and others
will be invited to meetings and informed as appropriate for
circumstances.
