    Letter to Congressional Leaders Reporting on the Points of Light
    Foundation
    May 20, 1991

    Dear Mr. Chairman:  (Dear Senator:)
        The Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban
    Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 1991 (Public
    Law 101-507; 104 Stat. 1351) (the ``Act''), requires the President to
    prepare and submit to the appropriate committees of the Congress a
    report describing the use of funds made available by the Act to the
    Points of Light Foundation (the ``Foundation''). Because the Foundation
    has been operational for such a short period of time, I submit herewith
    the Foundation's fiscal year 1992 budget submission in lieu of the
    aforesaid report.
        I believe you will find that the fiscal year 1992 budget submission
    sufficiently describes the activities of the Foundation and the uses to
    which it intends to put the monies appropriated.
        Sincerely,

                                                                 George Bush

                        Note: Identical letters were sent to Edward M.
                            Kennedy and Orrin G. Hatch, chairman and ranking
