MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS
AND AGENCIES
In July, the National Advisory Committee of the White House
Conference on Families held its first meeting. The Committee
adopted a plan of action for the Conference, which includes
hearings, state activities, and White House Conferences at
several sites throughout the country.
A major goal of the White House Conference on Families, which
I called for in my campaign for the Presidency, is to identify
public policies which strengthen and support families as well
as those which.harm or neglect family life,,,--and to. re.c.ommen.d___..
appropriate changes. To accomplish this goal, the Conference
must have the support and assistance of every Department and
Agency within the government.
I am, therefore, directing Department and Agency heads to
cooperate fully with the staff of the White House Conference
on Families. Such cooperation should include, but not be
limited to, the following: Identifying and cataloging pro-
grams, policies and research studies which impact on family
life; analyzing the impact of selected policies and programs;
publishing studies, reports and other informational materials
relating to families; providing detailees, logistical assistance,
meeting facilities and other resources for Conference activities;
earmarking discretionary funds for projects which support the
goals of the White House Conference on Families, and informing
employees and constituent groups about Conference activities.
To demonstrate this Administration's commitment to t'ie goals
of the WHCF, I am requesting Agency and Department heads to be
available to make presentations at the hearings which will be
held this fall and at the White House Conferences scheduled
for June and July of next year. To coordinate government-wide
participation in the Conference, an Interagency Task Force will
be established. Please designate one of your Special assistants
or an Assistant or Deputy Assistant Secretary for Posy or
