The four work groups involved in the One-Stop Mortgage Center Initiative have worked very hard at developing a draft report which identifies the barriers and possible solutions to those barriers. This is to inform you of the next steps in the process and to request your participation in continuing to move this effort forward to a successful conclusion. The work groups have identified a number of proposals which may involve legislative changes. A Presidential Memorandum issued on April 29, 1994, by President Clinton reaffirms the Federal Government's commitment to operate within a government-to-government relationship with federally recognized American Indian and Alaska Native tribes. In addition, Executive Order 13084 (May 18, 1998) also provides guidance on consultation and coordination with Indian tribal governments in regards to the development of regulatory matters. In accordance with these guidances, HUD and Treasury are sponsoring a series of meetings with tribal governments to consult with them prior to taking actions that may affect federally recognized tribal governments. Each of you are invited to attend any/all of these sessions.
