Workshop to be held in October 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ``Government Performance and Results Act
of 1933'' mandates that, no later than September 30, 1997, the head of
each agency shall submit to the Director of the Office of Management
and Budget and to the Congress a strategic plan for program activities.
The Act also mandates that, during development of strategic plans,
agencies must consult with Congress and those entities potentially
affected by or interested in such plans. The INS Strategic Plan was
[[Page 49287]]
approved on November 2, 1994. To consult with those who have an
interest in the progress of the INS Strategic Plan, the Service is
accepting written comments. Written comments, limited to a maximum of 3
pages, should address what you believe are the major issues confronting
INS in meeting initiatives set forth in the Strategic Plan, and the
recommended strategies for moving INS in desired directions to properly
address those major issues. Also, in accordance with Executive Order
12862, ``Setting Customer Service Standards.'' the INS is setting
standards but we want to continue to canvass our stakeholders as we
work towards the future in managing our agency.
The INS will also be holding a Stakeholders' Workshop on October
23, 1995, to further solicit the views and opinions of Congressional
staff, Federal agencies, immigration groups, members of the public, and
other parties which have a ``stake'' in the future actions of INS. The
1-day workshop will be structured to encourage participants to have
open dialogue about the major issues that INS needs to consider in
addressing initiatives within the Strategic Plan. The workshop will be
structured in breakout sessions led by professional facilitators.
Participants should have knowledge and understanding of immigration
issues. Attendees will be expected to participate in the breakout
sessions and to provide direct input during discussions. The
information compiled in the breakout sessions will be documented and
presented in the afternoon during a breakout session.
Dated: September 18, 1995.
