OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT WASHINGTON

September 20, 1994

Dear Members of FinanceNet:

In the spirit of "Reinventing Government," I am pleased to congratulate you
on the formation of FinanceNet.  I also want to challenge you to use your
growing network to engage government financial operations staffs and their
customers in the task of innovation in the field of financial management.

Those of you who are participants in the Federal enterprise- -as managers
or as customers of financial management services-- know that we are in the
midst of massive cultural change to create a "government that works better
and costs less."  Those of you who are external stakeholders from
professional associations, academia, or private sector organizations are
weathering similar changes in technologies, resources, priorities, and
strategies; you have much expertise to offer us.

I wish you good luck as you build a new and exciting way of working on
complex issues.  I hope you will help us set new goals in the area of
financial management and create a collaborative approach to reach them.

           Sincerely,
           /S/
           Al Gore AG/asc
