Federal, State and Local Governments Review of NPR

3. Convene meetings to review, refine and advance the NPR
intergovernmental recommendations.

(Convene meetings which draw together leaders from federal, state, and
local governments to review, refine, and advance the intergovernmental
recommendations of the National Performance Review.)  (2)

This report envisions a transformation of federal and intergovernmental
service delivery. To implement the concepts outlined here will require
concerted bipartisan effort over a decade or more. This effort won't
happen easily. And it won't happen at all without an understanding and
commitment to the reforms at all levels of government.

In August 1993, the Vice President presented a preliminary version of
these recommendations to state and local elected and appointed
leadership attending the 1993 National Governors' Association Conference
in Tulsa, Oklahoma. There was great interest in, and support for, the
general direction of these recommendations. Participants suggested that
the President convene a meeting as soon as possible to review these
concepts, to develop specific legislative recommendations, and to
determine the steps necessary to move forward quickly.

Meetings should include representation from Congress, the cabinet, other
senior federal officials, and chief executives and legislative leaders
from state, county, and local general and special purpose governments
throughout the country.
