SUBJECT: Privatization
On March 18., 1987, the Council discussed proposals by the
Privatization Working Group calling for a new associate director
in OMB and a special contact person in each agency to handle
privatization issues. The Working Group also recommended that a
report to the Council on possible privatization initiatives be
prepared by each agency. It was agreed by all that privatization
is a high priority for the Administration, and that we should
continue to seek opportunities for privatizing as many
governmental activities as are appropriate.
Consistent with the Council discussion, OMB is moving ahead with
appointment , of. a person to assume responsibility for operational
coordination of privatization activities through the budget
process. It was to be the responsibility of each department and
agency head to determine whether they wish to designate a contact
person within their organization. Regardless, it is felt the
Cabinet department head must take an individual interest in each
initiative if it is to have a chance of success.
The Privatization Working Group, chaired by Thomas Moore of CEA,
has asked that departments and agencies identify possible
privatization initiatives within their areas. The Attorney
General has asked that these be submitted no later than May 1,
1987, so that the Working Group can begin working with
departments in further developing their initiatives.
