    Appointment for the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations
    October 18, 1993

        The President announced his intention to appoint 10 members to the
    Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (ACIR) today. Among
    them is former Mississippi Governor William Winter, who will serve as
    ACIR's Chair.
        The Commission was created during the 1970's to foster better
    relations between all levels of government. Its primary functions are to
    provide an intergovernmental problem-solving forum, policy
    recommendations for intergovernmental cooperation, identification of
    emerging issues, information dissemination, and technical and
    international assistance.
        ``As a former Governor and State attorney general, I am committed to
    improving cooperation between governments at all levels,'' said the
    President. ``When people want something done by the government, they
    don't care whether it gets done by the county, by the State, or by the
    Federal Government, they just want the job done. The talented,
    experienced, and diverse group of people that I am appointing to this
    commission, with Governor Winter taking the lead, will work to find ways
    to help public servants at all levels achieve that goal.''
        The commissioners being appointed are:
        William F. Winter, former Governor of Mississippi
        Carol Browner, EPA Administrator
        Howard Dean, Governor of Vermont
        Marcia L. Hale, White House Director of Intergovernmental Affairs
        Arthur Hamilton, minority leader, Arizona House of Representatives
        Michael Leavitt, Governor of Utah
        Bob Miller, Governor of Nevada
        Gloria Molina, member, Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors
        Richard Riley, Secretary of Education
        John Stroger, commissioner of Cook County, IL, and immediate past
            president of the National Association of Counties
