A NATIONAL SUMMIT ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

What could it do for you?
What can you do for it?
Please send your ideas.

The President's Council on Sustainable Development (PCSD) has begun a
planning process for a

National Summit on Sustainable Development

scheduled to take place in early 1999. The purpose of the summit is to
catalyze a national movement toward sustainable development and to use the
event as an opportunity to better articulate the concepts and
opportunities of sustainable development to the American public.  The
summit will bring together representatives from government, business,
community, and non-profit organizations to exchange information and learn
from each other; and showcase ideas, technologies, and practices that
reflect an integrated approach toward Americans' economic, environmental,
and social equity goals.  We want to celebrate successes, transfer lessons
learned, and galvanize further action to implement sustainable development
throughout the nation. Proposals have been made to hold accompanying
regional and local events as well. 

In an effort to make the planning process as participatory as possible, the
PCSD is seeking your ideas and comments.  Please send your responses to the
following questions by, Monday, November 24, 1997:

 	What outcomes would you want from a Sustainable Development Summit? 

 	What could a national Sustainable Development Summit do for you, your
	organization, or your business?

 	What components would you like to see as part of the Summit?

 	Do you think that local and/or regional events before, during, or after the
	national summit as well as satellite downlinks would be a good idea? 

 	Other ideas?

Both anonymous and signed comments are welcome. To receive regular updates on
the conference planning, please include your full name, title, affiliation,
address, telephone, fax, and email information. 

Thank you.
