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
