CED released two statements from its Making Washington Work Subcommittee. The statements were released at a Washington, D.C. luncheon forum, just two days after the national mid-term election. The first statement lays out the principles guiding the Subcommittee and the second offers recommendations aimed at improving the legislative process in the Congress. The statement of principles was created by a steering committee acting on behalf of 82 CED Trustees, announcing the formation of a task force that engaged in a yearlong effort to understand why the political process in Washington, D.C. is failing and to propose and advocate policies and/or laws that can make the system work. C
"Making Washington Work" will be one of the most significant projects in the 65-year history of CED.
The statement, and the results of the 2006 election, were the main topics discussed by a distinguished panel at the luncheon forum. |
