Here's everyone's chance to do something *constructive* about idiotic government regulations. Imagine this -- an email address to report them! ------- Forwarded Message Date: Sun, 26 Sep 93 23:14:39 EDT From: "Paul Jones" <pjones@sunsite.unc.edu> Subject: REGO needs your suggestions - soon The following announcement comes from the Office of the National Performance Review- they are looking for anecdotes regarding useless government regulations, and reccomendations for eliminating needless bureaucracy. This is the Net's chance to have a say in fixing what's wrong with the US government. - ------ Vice President Gore's task force on reinventing government (REGO) called for many changes in the federal government. Now that the report has been issued, we have shifted to implementation of those recommendations. Successful implementation of those changes will require the collective efforts of many people across government. To provide support and to help implement the recommendations, a "network of networks" is being established. The network, dubbed "NetResults" will link together government workers at the federal, state, and local levels, and will provide ways for people in the private and non-profit sectors to participate as well. This message is an initial effort by NetResults to get information and support for these recommendations. On September 11, 1993, President Clinton signed an executive order calling for the elimination of one-half of executive branch internal regulations within three years. We'd like your assistance in helping us find the best examples of obsolete, redundant, or dysfunctional federal regulations. This is your opportunity to let senior federal policy managers know about federal regulations or internal administration policies and procedures that prevent effective service to the taxpayer. We plan to forward this information to the Federal Quality Institute for its use in helping agencies eliminate or reduce regulations. Any replies should give a brief description of the regulation or internal administrative procedures and a specific citation where this regulation is found. Please send us this information either through electronic mail to: sillyreg@sunsite.unc.edu or fax it to REGO at: (202) 632-0390. For immediate impact, send your responses by electronic mail before September 28, 1993. If you are interested in more information on "NetResults", please send an electronic mail message to Steve Butterfield at steveb@sunsite.unc.edu, Dennis Egan at dennise@tmn.com, or Andy Campbell at andy@tmn.com. We appreciate your interest and will look forward to your replies. ------- End of Forwarded Message
