/le-- 24 June 1981 ...,..---- TO: WPC FROM. Karl RoveN--- RE: White House Conference on Children and Youth--Public Opinion Survey A question has arisen about who receives the Federal grant for the poll Texas will run in lieu of a full-blown conference. Should TDCA administer the grant or Budget and Planning? Paul and I recommend B & P because they are more likely to spend the money on things other than stf costs. Who do you want to be the grantee? • i;31 Rig: Givkat. CiattgAAAA. CLA,, levvik B & P TDCA Let's discuss Regardless of who gets the grant, TDCA will be involved in the program. They want $37,870 of the $87,000 grant for TDCA staff costs (salaries, travel, benefits, et cetera). This is way too high. I'd recommend we tell Sid his Youth and Child Services Office can have from $10,000 to $15,000 for their staff costs. They are just trying to pad their payroll. L/Ces, limit TDCA to from $10,000 to $15,000 _____ No, give them what they want: $37,780. Other: Let's discuss We have to submit a plan and budget shortly (ca. July 1).
