SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Government Performance and Results Act 
(``GPRA,'' or ``the Results Act,'' 5 U.S.C. 306) places uniform 
requirements on federal agencies for strategic planning. Although the 
LSC is not a federal agency, and thus not subject to GPRA, it has 
elected to follow a planning process based upon the one set forth in 
GPRA, to bring its budget processes into conformity with those of 
federal agencies and to promote sound management and effective 
realization of LSC's mission. The proposed Strategic Plan represents a 
first step in that process.
    As provided by GPRA, LSC's proposed Strategic Plan for FY 1998 
through FY 2003 sets forth: a statement of LSC's mission; LSC's general 
goals for the period; how LSC plans to achieve those goals; key 
external factors which could significantly affect LSC's achievement of 
its goals; how LSC's general goals and objectives will be translated 
into more specific, objectively expressed performance goals for each 
year in an Annual Performance Plan, and how LSC's performance will be 
evaluated. A separate section sets forth similar information for LSC's 
Office of Inspector General.
    LSC's Board of Directors intends to adopt a final Strategic Plan 
for the Corporation prior to December 31, 1997.

    Dated: October 10, 1997.
Victor M. Fortuno,
Secretary of the Corporation.
