Points for J. Brian Atwood
May 13, 1998
All Agency Meeting
Washington, D.C.
-- Salute employees for Public Service Recognition week-- My recent trips to Africa and Middle East
-- First Lady's participation in Girls' Ed conference
-- Testimony from this morning
-- All highlight increased recognition of importance of USAID's work
-- Use this opportunity to catch up, give you status on some important issues and hear your concerns
-- New faces. Welcome Roy Williams, Valerie Dickson-Horton to their new roles. AA positions still pending.
-- Budget and Congressional Prospects-- FY 99 likely straightlined or little less. Will work to get levels up and hope surplus can relieve some pressure on assistance budget in out-years.
-- Hope Congress can act on Africa trade Bill, IMF replenishment and UN arrears. Regret that Mexico City has ground everything to a halt, but Administration is committed to standing by principle and not give in to legislative blackmail.
-- Observations about how nice having us all together in one building
-- Deal with concerns about work remaining to be done, sick building, etc.
-- NMS update
-- Where do we stand and what needs to be done (M to provide more detail if needed)
-- R4 process and concerns
-- Progress in GPRA reporting scores
-- Address concerns budget and results still really aren't linked
-- Your vision of results-driven development
-- 30th anniversary of Tidewater, plans for celebration of development here in Washington
