Office of the Governor MEMO DATE: February 5, 1982 TO: Governor William P. Clements, Jr. FROM: David Herndon, General Counsel RE: NGA Winter Meeting Fle; A144t- AA.A4r 2fti- 2 4. V1. Austin, Texas 78711 Phone (512) 4 75 -302 1 The focus of the NGA meeting has changed due to President Reagan's proposed "new federalism." Listed below are meetings specifically addressing this issue. Sunday, February 21 1:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. David Stockman and Rich Williamson to discuss "new federalism." 2:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. Governors and their key staff meet to discuss "new federalism." Monday, February 22 8:00 a.m. _ 10:00 a.m. Governors' work session, continuing discussion of "new federalism." In light of these changes, I believe it would be advisable for you to have Paul Wrotenbery attend the Conference for these meetings. Do you agree? YES NO Since we contemplate the State-Federal Office having a much more active role in the National Governors' Association business, I recommend that Dan Matheson be registered for this meeting to become acquainted with staff and familiar with the activities of the association. Do you agree? YES__________ NO DH:sr cc: Rich Thomas Paul Wrotenbery DAVID HERNDON General Counsel
