Mayor-Elect Anthony Williams Addresses Transition Committee

Mayor-Elect Anthony A. Williams tonight, charged his Transition team to make recommendations for coordinating a smooth transition and to develop a result-oriented action plan for the beginning of the Williams Administration. During a meeting at Trinity College's O'Connor Auditorium, Mr. Williams instructed the Transition team to draw information and input from a broad range of District citizens, local and national leaders, and public managers from other jurisdictions,, as they prepare their action plans.

"There are essentially three transitions we will be undertaking," said Mr. Williams. "The first is a transition from one mayor to the next. The second, and more complicated' is the transition from limited home-rule to full self-government. The third, and most exciting, is the transition from an only adequately functioning city to a city that is a model of world-class service delivery and livability."

Mayor-Elect Williams advised the committee members to review existing studies, reports, and government agency and department operations, then recommend realistic results and benchmarks that can be successfully and efficiently implemented.

"While it is no exaggeration that the eyes of the nation are upon us as we move forward, I urge you to keep your eyes on the least among us who have put their faith in me to improve their lives and those of their children. I have promised the citizens of the District of Columbia that the quality of life for all District residents will be improved in the shortest possible time. Your efforts should reflect this promise," said Mr. Williams.

Mayor-Elect Williams was joined by General Chairman Marion Wright Edelman, Honorary Chairs Robert Dole and Franklin Raines, and Action Team Co Chairs:

Jerome Paige	Information Technology
Larry Parks	Planning and Development
Judy Feder	Human Services Network
Wendy Puriefoy	Education and Culture
Mane Drissel	Infrastructure
Scott Mills	Finance
Dwight Cropp	Operations
Gregory McCarthy	Competitive Government
Tom Williamson	Transition to Home Rule
Ariana Quinones-Miranda	Special Constituencies
