Agency History
The governor of Texas is the chief executive officer of the state, elected by the citizens
every four years. The duties and responsibilities of the governor include serving as
commander-in-chief of the state's military forces; convening special sessions of the
legislature for specific purposes; delivering to the legislature at the beginning of each
regular session a report on the condition of the state, an accounting of all public money
under the governor's control, a recommended biennial budget, an estimate of the amounts of
money required to be raised by taxation, and any recommendations he deems necessary; signing
or vetoing bills passed by the legislature; and executing the laws of the state. The
governor can grant reprieves and commutations of punishment and pardons, upon the
recommendation of the Board of Pardons and Paroles, and revoke conditional pardons. He
appoints numerous public officials (with the consent of the Senate), fills vacancies in
state and district offices (except vacancies in the legislature), calls special elections to
fill vacancies in the legislature, fills vacancies in the United States Senate until an
election can be held, and serves as ex officio member of several state boards.
The office of governor was first established by the Constitution of 1845 and superseded the
office of president of the Republic of Texas. The position now exists under authority of
Article IV, Section 1 of the Constitution of 1876 and Texas Government Code, Chapter 401. To
be elected governor, a person must be at least thirty years old, a United States citizen,
and a resident of Texas for at least five years preceding the election. In 1972, the term of
office was extended from two to four years, effective in 1975. Since 1856 the governor has
had the use of the Governor's Mansion.
In 1999 there were 198 full time equivalent employees in the Office of the Governor.
Thirteen divisions outside of the Executive Office assist the governor in carrying out his
functions: Administration, Appointments, Budget and Planning, Communications, General
Counsel, Legislative, Policy, Scheduling, Criminal Justice Division, Governor's Committee on
People with Disabilities, Office of Film, Music, Television and Multimedia Industries,
Women's Commission, and Texas Council on Workforce and Economic Competitiveness.
The Texas Office of the Governor's Budget and Planning Office advises the Governor
regarding state fiscal matters. The office also prepares the Governor's biennial budget
recommendations to the Legislature, monitors state appropriations and operations, analyzes
fiscal and economic issues, and performs other duties determined by the Governor. The budget
office assigns each agency a budget analyst who serves as the contact point between the
agency and the Governor's Office for the following issues: strategic planning; performance
measurement; agency operating budgets; appropriations requests; consultant contract
notifications and findings of fact; federal grant designations; emergency/deficiency grant
requests; and other appropriations bill requirements.
From 1995 to 2000, Albert Hawkins was Texas State Budget Director for Governor George W.
Bush. In this capacity, he headed the Budget and Planning Office, served as the chief
advisor to the Governor on state fiscal issues, oversaw the development of the Governor's
state budget, and represented the Governor before the Legislature on budgetary matters. Dale
Craymer, the former Director of Budget and Planning under Texas Governor Ann Richards,
briefly served as Deputy Director until he was replaced by Wayne R. Roberts. Several Group
Directors, responsible for such broad areas as Health and Human Services and Governmental
Services, worked under the Deputy Director, while the individual budget analysts appear to
have worked under the Group Directors. Following the 2000 presidential election, Deputy
Director Roberts became Acting Director as Hawkins prepared for the move to Washington D.C.
Grants Team Background
The Texas Legislature established a State Grant Writing Team in the Office of State Federal
Relations in 1991 (Senate Bill 3, 72nd Legislature, First Called Session, 1991). In 1995,
this Team became part of the Texas Governor's Budget and Planning Office (House Bill 1399,
74th Legislature, Regular Session, 1995). The Grants Team monitors the federal, state, and
private funding information resources and alerts state legislators, state agencies,
non-profit organizations, all subdivisions of government and individuals to funding
opportunities. The Grants Team, specifically: 1) provides technical assistance on federal
funding matters to state agencies, subdivisions of government, Texas legislators, non-profit
agencies, and individuals; 2) provides counseling on the availability and means of obtaining
federal, state, and private funding assistance; 3) identifies federal and state funding
opportunities and responds to inquiries about federal policies and agencies; 4) provides
proposal writing support and review of applications; 5) collects and analyzes performance
data from state agencies on maximizing federal funds; 6) compiles and distributes the Grant Alert, a fax newsletter about funding opportunities; 7)
maintains a clearinghouse of information on the availability of federal, state, and private
grants; 8) identifies and facilitates opportunities for collaboration among state agencies
to seek federal discretionary funds; and 9) provides proposal writing training on a cost
sharing basis. By law, the state Grants Team may charge fees to recover service costs.
The State Single Point of Contact is co-located with the Grants Team and provides grant
applicants with information on how to comply with the intergovernmental review requirements
of Federal Executive Order 12372 and the Texas Review and Comment System. During Bush's
administration, all targeted grant applications (and responses) that were subject to
statewide or regional review and had been or would be submitted to the federal government
were routed to the Single Point of Contact. The Texas Review and Comment System [TRACS], run
by the Grants Team, provides state and local officials with opportunities to comment on
state plans, applications for state or federal financial assistance, and environmental
impact statements related to projects or funding that affect their jurisdictions before the
proposals are approved or funded. For further information on Texas grant and contract
management see Texas Government Code, Title 7, Chapter 783: Uniform Grant and Contract
Management. This chapter may be cited as the Uniform Grant and Contract Management Act.
Staff members in 1996 were (with their areas of responsibility): Denise Francis, Director -
child care, criminal justice, employment and job training, health and human services, law
enforcement and public safety, mental health, and substance abuse; Ron Ayer, Grants Analyst
- agriculture, business development, disabilities, economic development, housing and
homeless issues, telecommunications, and transportation; (by 1999 his responsibilities had
evolved into disabilities, homeless issues, mental health, and telecommunications and he
seems to have been doing a substantial amount of proposal review and grant writing training
workshops); Clair Burleson, Research Assistant - academic research, education, energy,
environment, historic preservation, Indian affairs, parks/recreation, and youth
(non-incarcerated); and Mary Helen Rositas, Administrative Technician - compiled and managed
the Grant Alert; database maintenance, document handling and
administrative support; and maintenance of reports from state agencies on receipt of federal
funds. By 1999 Clair Burleson seems to have left and the following staff members had been
added: Jennifer Fisher, Grants Analyst - agriculture, rural development, business
development, economic development, housing, and transportation; and Rita Stephan, Grants
Analyst - academic research, education, energy, environment, historic preservation, Indian
affairs, parks/recreation, and youth (non-incarcerated). Over time, other staff members and
interns seem to have included Debra Mills, Reagan Swank, Matt Salazar, Maria Hernandez, Joe
Castillo, Andres Alcantar, and others. Tom Adams was the State Single Point of Contact.

George W. Bush Biographical Sketch
George W. Bush served as governor of Texas from January 17, 1995 to December 21, 2000,
resigning as governor in the middle of his second term to become president of the United
States.
He challenged the incumbent governor, Democrat Ann Richards, running on promises to improve
public education and to reform the juvenile justice system, welfare, and the state's tort
laws -- the system under which an injured person may sue for damages. During the 74th
Legislature in 1995, he worked with the Democrats who controlled both houses of the Texas
legislature and managed to get bills passed that dealt with the four issues he had
emphasized in his campaign. Bush was seen as pro-business and a consensus-builder.
Bush advocated and signed the two largest tax cuts to date in Texas history, totaling over
$3 billion. To pay for the cuts, he sought (unsuccessfully) federal approval of a plan to
privatize Texas' social services. Education reform was a priority throughout his terms, with
legislation emphasizing local control of schools, higher standards, and a revised
curriculum. Controversy has followed, with charter schools mired in financial scandals and
protests against one test determining a child's promotion. After winning reelection in 1998,
Bush began his bid for the presidency and was not as involved in the 76th Legislature in
1999.
George W. Bush was born July 6, 1946 in New Haven, Connecticut and grew up in Midland and
Houston, Texas. He graduated from Andover Academy, and received a bachelor's degree from
Yale University and a master's from Harvard Business School. He served as a pilot in the
Texas Air National Guard. In 1978, Bush was defeated in a run for the U.S. Congress in West
Texas. He was involved in energy exploration from the 1970s into the 1980s. From 1989 until
his election as governor, Bush worked with the Texas Rangers baseball organization, leading
a group of partners in purchasing the team, and then serving as managing general partner. He
married Laura Welch in 1977; they have two daughters.

Scope and Contents of the
Records During Texas Governor George W. Bush's term, the Budget and
Planning Office advised the Governor regarding state fiscal matters, prepared
the Governor's biennial budget recommendations to the Legislature, monitored
state appropriations and operations, analyzed fiscal and economic issues, and
performed other duties determined by the Governor. Administrative
correspondence, budget development files, statewide cost allocation plans,
Grants Team records, and publications were created and/or maintained by the
Budget and Planning Office in the course of developing and carrying out budgets
and plans for funding Texas state government during the terms of Texas Governor
George W. Bush. Types of materials include correspondence, memoranda, tracking
slips, reports, statements, plans, proposals, manuals, opinions, printed
material, legal documents, questionnaires, contracts, organization charts,
notes, publications, memoranda of agreement, executive orders, bylaws, policies
and procedures, drafts, budgets, legislative records, speeches, clippings,
3.5-inch floppy disks, and audiocassette tapes, dating 1967 to 2000 and
undated, bulk 1990 to 2000, created and/or maintained by the Texas Governor's
Budget and Planning Office during the terms of George W. Bush. Albert Hawkins
was the Director of the Budget and Planning Office during Bush's terms in
office.
Administrative correspondence
comprise the Budget and Planning Office central
files and contain predominantly incoming and outgoing letters and
memoranda that passed between the Budget and Planning staff and various other
staff members in the Governor's Office, state agencies, federal agencies,
corporations and consultants, state legislators and members of Congress, and
various public officials. The subjects of the correspondence concern the
development of the state budget and the financial needs and plans of Texas
agencies and other state funded institutions, including appropriations, exempt
salary issues, consultant contracts pursuant to Wagner-Peyser 7(b) allocations
(a program providing employment-related services to veterans), emergency
grants, applications for federal funds, allocation of additional full-time,
part-time, and temporary employees, receipt of grant funds and other payments
from federal bodies, Year 2000 transition costs, and disaster funding. General
subjects include welfare to work, tax reform, the funding of public education
and distressed communities, and managed care. A few memoranda concern internal
Budget and Planning Office polices.
Records found in the
State budget development files aid in documenting
the development of the Texas state budget and were submitted by various state
agencies to fulfill the reporting requirements of the General Appropriations
Acts (House Bills 1) of the 74th and 75th Legislatures. The materials
specifically concern, and can include copies of, rules review plans, biennial
operating plans, capital acquisition statements and requests, salary level
information, fee and tax collection income reports, cost containment reports,
position classification statements, exceptional item funding requests, employee
bonuses in return for Year 2000 conversion activities, service and population
category information, contract approval requests, lawsuit notifications, and
various other subjects. Correspondence is frequently addressed to Albert
Hawkins, but was logged and handled by the office staff, as indicated by the
logging/tracking forms attached to the letters. The role of the Legislative
Budget Board in the budget development process can be discerned in some of the
materials. A few documents concerning agency exempt salary plans date from the
term of Texas Governor Ann Richards and were written by Dale Craymer, her
Director of Budget and Planning.
Records in the Statewide cost allocation plans series concern the
creation of plans that track the state's indirect costs and the recovery of
those costs for the purpose of satisfying federal grant guidelines. The cost
allocation plans were prepared by David M. Griffith & Associates, LTD and
by KPMG Peat Marwick. Additional training materials, manuals, and proposals
were submitted by David M. Griffith & Associates, LTD. Correspondence and
attachments concern the plans and particularly involve communications with the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the agency designated by
OMB (U.S. Office of Management and Budget) as the cognizant agency responsible
for negotiating indirect, fringe benefit (and other specialty) rates and
issuing related rate agreements for a significant number of organizations
receiving federal awards. Budget and Planning Office Grant's Team staff member
Tom Adams figures prominently in the majority of the correspondence. Major
subjects of concern in the records center around costs that the federal
government disallowed, particularly charges regarding the Capitol Complex
Telephone System and the Uniform Group Insurance Program (UGIP). Some of the
materials date from the terms of Texas Governors William P. Clements and Ann
Richards and involve Budget and Planning Directors Sheila Beckett and Dale
Craymer.
Property tax relief records are
written testimony, public testimony registration cards, sign-in sheets,
audiocassette tapes of public hearings, and correspondence, 1976 to 1996, bulk
1996, created, received, or maintained by the Governor's Office of Budget and
Planning, which provided administrative support to the Citizen's Committee on
Property Tax Relief. The committee was created by Texas Governor George W. Bush
to explore ways to reduce property taxes. The Staff Work Group on Property Tax
Relief, composed of designees of Governor Bush, Lieutenant Governor Bob
Bullock, House Speaker Pete Laney, and Comptroller John Sharp, was created to
develop possible replacements for the school property tax without providing
recommendations. Registration cards include the names of individuals testifying
at hearings held by the citizen's committee, title and address of those
testifying, who they represent, and the location of the public hearing.
Hearings were held in Amarillo, Beaumont, Corpus Christi, Dallas, El Paso, Fort
Worth, Harlingen, Houston, Lubbock, San Antonio, Tyler, and Wichita Falls.
Testimony was presented by state officials; former state officials;
representatives of organizations, businesses, and agriculture; and home owners,
including those on fixed incomes. Correspondence was sent by individuals unable
to attend the hearings.
The Grants Team monitors the federal, state, and
private funding information resources and alerts state legislators, state
agencies, non-profit organizations, all subdivisions of government and
individuals to funding opportunities. Records of the
Grants Team include correspondence, memoranda, letters and memoranda of
agreement, grant reference materials, casework, executive orders, strategic
plans, evaluations, reports, publications, bylaws, policies and procedures,
manuals, printed materials, calendars, drafts, budgets, performance measures,
legislative records, speeches, opinions, clippings, web page printouts, forms,
organization charts, mailing lists, notes, telephone directories, travel and
purchase records, and 3.5-inch floppy disks that date 1967 to 2000 and were
maintained by the Grants Team in the Texas Office of the Governor's Budget and
Planning Office during the tenure of George W. Bush.
Grants Team records of assistance to regional planning
commissions, dating 1967 to 1999, document the activities of the
administrations of all Texas governors from John Connally to George W. Bush in
the origination, development, and functioning of Texas' regional assistance
funding program and regional planning commissions. Staff member Tom Adams
figures prominently in the records from the 1990s. Initial records contain
founding executive orders and governing legislation, Attorney General opinions,
speeches, early policies and procedures, proposals, rationales, and reports
concerning the regional council/commission system and its relationship to the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 701 program. The redelineation
files concern the biennial reviews, beginning in 1971, of state planning region
boundaries by the Governor's Office. The general files contain information
about all of the regional planning councils, such as funding allocation
formulas, general correspondence, requests for project funds, and the 1996
quarterly/annual reports for all of the councils. The final section of records
consists of files for each of the individual planning councils. The files
generally include reports, correspondence, and other information submitted to
enable the councils to receive state planning assistance funds.
Denise Francis' files cover a wide range of subjects
handled as head of the Grants Team. Staff casework
records respond to requests for assistance in locating and obtaining
grant funds. Training files document workshops
presented by Grants Team staff around Texas from 1998 to 2000.
Agency strategic plans and reports, 1995-1996,
seem to have been submitted in 1996 in accordance with the responsibility of
the Texas Governor's Budget and Planning office's Grants Team to collect and
analyze performance data from state agencies on maximizing federal funds.
The records of the Budget and Planning Office include eight publications maintained in that
office during the terms of George W. Bush. The publications concern proposed Texas state
budgets, a budget policy message to the 74th Legislature in the form of a published speech,
statewide strategic planning elements from 1998 and 2000, and property tax relief.
Organization of the Records Prior to the transfer of the
records to the Bush Library, an inventory of the records found in the Grants
Team office areas, called Grants Filing
Cabinets, had been created by an unknown individual to note which of the
records should be sent to the Bush Library and to indicate the disposition of
the remaining records. This list contains cursory and vague descriptions of,
presumably, all records then existing and indicates that at least 21 boxes were
to be sent to the Bush Library. It does not appear that 21 boxes of exclusively
Grants Team files were sent, though making positive correlations between the
list and the transferred boxes is virtually impossible, since many of the box
labels bear a loose or non-existent connection to the box contents, and neither
the labels nor the contents can be conclusively identified as specific items on
the list. At best, a given box can be identified as possibly being an element
of one of three or four sets of records appearing on the list. Because a number
of the Grants Team and Budget and Planning Office boxes were given duplicate
box numbers, the original organization of the boxes is difficult to reconstruct
with certainty. Based on a comparison between the aforementioned list and the
transferred boxes, it appears that of the records transferred to the Bush
Library, approximately one-third to one-half were supposed to either remain in
the Governor's Office or be destroyed.
These records are organized into
six series by the creating agency. The five subseries of Grants Team records
were organized by State Archives staff after reviewing the way the records were
maintained by the agency:
- Administrative correspondence,
1995-2000, 5.6 cubic ft.

audiocassette tapes
- Grants Team records, 1967-2001, approximately
17.25 cubic ft.
- Denise Francis' files, about 1994-2000, 8 cubic
ft.
- Staff casework, 1991-2000, bulk 1997-2000, 3 cubic ft.
- Records of assistance to regional planning commissions, 1967-1999, 3.25
cubic ft.
- Training files, 1998-2001, 2 cubic ft.

In December 2000, Governor George W. Bush designated the George Bush Presidential Library as the
repository for the records from his tenure as Governor of Texas, under authority of Texas
Government Code, Section 441.201. Shortly after he left office, the records were shipped
to the Bush Library in College Station, Texas. Texas Attorney General John Cornyn ruled
the records are state records subject to the Texas Public Information Act and the
management of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission even after transfer to a
federal facility (Opinion No. JC-0498, May 3, 2002). In July 2002 the records were
transferred from the Bush Library to the Texas State Archives in Austin for preparation
for research use. In June 2003, a memorandum of understanding signed by representatives of
the National Archives and Records Administration, the Texas State Library and Archives
Commission, and George W. Bush replaced a January 2002 interim memorandum of
understanding. Additional material was transferred to the Archives and Information
Services Division of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission by the Texas Office
of the Governor on May 18, 2005. The records were moved to the George W. Bush Presidential
Library in February 2013.
Detailed Description of the Records
Administrative correspondence,
1995-2000,
5.6 cubic ft.
During Texas Governor George W.
Bush's term, the Budget and Planning Office advised the Governor regarding
state fiscal matters, prepared the Governor's biennial budget recommendations
to the Legislature, monitored state appropriations and operations, analyzed
fiscal and economic issues, and performed other duties determined by the
Governor. Records include correspondence, memoranda, and tracking slips, with a
few attached printed materials, reports, and publications, dating 1995 to 2000,
of the Texas Office of the Governor's Budget and Planning Office during the
terms of George W. Bush. Albert Hawkins was the Director of the Office during
this time. The records comprise the Budget and Planning Office
central files and contain predominantly
incoming and outgoing letters and memoranda that passed between some members of
the Budget and Planning staff and various other staff members in the Governor's
Office, state agencies, federal agencies, corporations and consultants, state
legislators and members of Congress, and various public officials. The subjects
of the correspondence concern the development of the state budget and the
financial needs and plans of Texas agencies and other state funded
institutions, including appropriations, exempt salary issues, consultant
contracts pursuant to Wagner-Peyser 7(b) allocations (a program providing
employment related services to veterans), emergency grants, applications for
federal funds, allocation of additional full-time, part-time, and temporary
employees, receipt of grant funds and other payments from federal bodies, Year
2000 transition costs, and disaster funding. General subjects include welfare
to work, tax reform, the funding of public education and distressed
communities, and managed care. A few memoranda concern internal Budget and
Planning Office policies.
Many of the incoming letters are copies of
logged correspondence, while other letters are original logged correspondence.
A few letters do not appear to have been logged at all. The copies of logged
letters frequently have attached data entry and logging/tracking forms. Note
that some of the correspondence was copied with post-it notes obscuring the
text of the letter. Full text of these letters may exist in the
Central correspondence file series. [See the
series Central correspondence file for further
information on logged correspondence.] Letters sent to the Governor's Office by
state agencies and other bodies include attachments, though the amount of such
material is not large. Such attachments include required agency financial
reports and statements, and instructional materials from the federal
government.
Albert Hawkins' files differ from the staff files in that
they contain a higher percentage of policy and personnel issues, provide
greater evidence of contact and discussion with other sections of the
Governor's Office, and include a cross-section of material found in the
individual staff member's files, particularly items that passed through or came
from him. Staff members' files show somewhat more evidence of direct
involvement with state agencies and contain more original correspondence than
copies. The researcher should be aware that a number of Budget and Planning
Office staff members are not represented in the following correspondence.
Arrangement
The correspondence of Director Albert Hawkins appears first, in reverse
chronological order by year. Thereafter, the files are in alphabetical order by
staff member and then in reverse chronological order by year. Additional
materials for Antoinette Fontenot Humphrey were received in a later accession
and are filed in the order received from the agency. A few files of assorted
and miscellaneous correspondence are listed at the end. Note that monthly dates
are based upon the most recent date written on the tracking form or, if no
tracking form is present, on the letter itself. Materials attached to the
tracking forms and letters can often bear earlier dates, sometimes by several
months.
Hawkins' February 1999 correspondence was originally found
mixed in with his February 1998 correspondence and has been taken out and
foldered separately. The first file in Hawkins' correspondence contains no
correspondence but, according to a post-it note on the items, was intentionally
placed in direct association with his correspondence. Where known, the job
titles or responsibilities of staff members have been stated.
Preferred
Citation (Identify the item), Administrative correspondence, Texas
Governor George W. Bush Budget and Planning Office records. Archives and
Information Services Division, Texas State Library and Archives Commission.
Restrictions on
Access Because of the possibility that portions of these records fall under Public Information Act
exceptions including, but not limited to, agency memoranda (V.T.C.A., Government Code
Section 552.111); names of social service recipients (V.T.C.A, Human Resources Code,
Title 2 - Department of Human Services and Department of Protective and Regulatory
Services, Section 12.003); home addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers, and
personal family information of government employees and officials (V.T.C.A., Government
Code, Section 552.117); e-mail addresses (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Section 552.136);
account numbers (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Section 552.136); and government information
related to security issues for computers (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Section 552.136),
an archivist must review these records before they can be accessed for research. The
records may be requested for research under the provisions of the Public Information Act
(V.T.C.A., Government Code, Chapter 552). The researcher may request an interview with
an archivist or submit a request by mail (Texas State Library and Archives Commission,
P. O. Box 12927, Austin, TX 78711), fax (512-463-5436), email (Dir_Lib@tsl.state.tx.us),
or see our web page (https://www.tsl.state.tx.us/requestgovernorbushrecords.html). Include enough
description and detail about the information requested to enable the archivist to
accurately identify and locate the information requested. (Note: The Governor's Office
has requested that the State Archives contact the Public Information Coordinator for the
Governor's Office when we receive a Public Information Act request for these records.)
If our review reveals information that may be excepted by the Public Information Act, we
are obligated to seek an open records decision from the Attorney General on whether the
records can be released. The Public Information Act allows the Archives ten working days
after receiving a request to make this determination. The Attorney General has 45
working days to render a decision. Alternately, the Archives can inform you of the
nature of the potentially excepted information and if you agree, that information can be
redacted or removed and you can access the remainder of the records.
Restrictions on Use Most records created by Texas state agencies are not copyrighted. State records also include
materials received by, not created by, state agencies. Copyright remains with the
creator. The researcher is responsible for complying with U.S. Copyright Law (Title 17
U.S.C.).
Technical
Requirements None.

State budget development files,
1978, 1988-1999,
undated,
bulk 1995-1999,
3.2 cubic ft.
State budget development files were used
to carry out the Texas Governor's Budget and Planning Office functions of
advising the Governor regarding state fiscal matters, preparing the Governor's
biennial budget recommendations to the Legislature, monitoring state
appropriations and operations, and analyzing fiscal and economic issues. The
records consist of correspondence with attachments of plans, statements,
reports, position classifications, and exceptional item funding information,
dating 1978, 1988 to 1999, and undated, bulk 1995 to 1999, maintained in the
Texas Office of the Governor's Budget and Planning Office during the terms of
George W. Bush. The materials aid in documenting the development of the Texas
state budget and most were submitted by various state agencies to fulfill the
reporting requirements of the General Appropriations Acts (House Bills 1) of
the 74th and 75th Legislatures. The letters specifically concern, and can
include copies of, rules review plans, biennial operating plans, capital
acquisition statements and requests, salary level information, fee and tax
collection income reports, cost containment reports, position classification
statements, exceptional item funding requests, employee bonuses in return for
Year 2000 conversion activities, service and population category information,
contract approval requests, versions of agency exempt salary plans, emergency
deficiency grants, operating budget instructions, grants, foreign travel, the
Wagner-Peyser contract program that provides employment related services to
veterans, and notification of lawsuits which could result in potential
liability by the State.
Correspondence is frequently addressed to the
Director of the Governor's Office of Budget and Planning (Albert Hawkins), but
was logged and handled by the office staff, as indicated by the
logging/tracking forms attached to the letters. Some files have attached
tracking charts that record the Budget and Planning analyst assigned to the
agency, the date on which materials were routed, and other general information.
The role of the Legislative Budget Board in the budget development process can
be discerned in some of the materials. A few documents concerning agency exempt
salary plans date from the term of Texas Governor Ann Richards and were written
by Dale Craymer, her Director of the Budget and Planning Office.
These
letters include both copies of logged correspondence and original logged
correspondence, though other items do not appear to have been logged in the
correspondence database. [See the series Central
correspondence file for further information on logged correspondence.]
On occasion, outgoing responses are attached to an agency's incoming
letter.
Arrangement The records have been kept in their original order
as maintained by the Governor's Budget and Planning Office. Agency
correspondence is organized by topic. A number of the topics are divided into
sections based on the article number (used to group agencies into general
categories by function) of the General Appropriations Act (House Bills 1 of
both the 74th and 75th Legislatures, Regular Sessions). Other records were
organized into topics consisting of: Waiver requests (travel reimbursement of
advisory committee members); Other statutory requirements - Children's Trust
Fund and Protective and Regulatory Services; Strategic Planning and Budget
Structures including performance measures; emergency deficiency grant
correspondence; bona fide new exempt positions; Wagner-Peyser contract
information; and lawsuit notifications.

Restrictions on Access Because of the possibility that portions of these records fall under Public Information Act
exceptions including, but not limited to, attorney-client privilege (V.T.C.A.,
Government Code Section 552.107); home addresses, phone numbers, social security
numbers, and personal family information of government employees and officials
(V.T.C.A., Government Code, Section 552.117); Texas drivers license numbers (V.T.C.A.,
Government Code, Section 552.130); and account numbers (V.T.C.A., Government Code,
Section 552.136), an archivist must review these records before they can be accessed for
research. The records may be requested for research under the provisions of the Public
Information Act (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Chapter 552). The researcher may request an
interview with an archivist or submit a request by mail (Texas State Library and
Archives Commission, P. O. Box 12927, Austin, TX 78711), fax (512-463-5436), email
(Dir_Lib@tsl.state.tx.us), or see our web page (https://www.tsl.state.tx.us/requestgovernorbushrecords.html). Include enough
description and detail about the information requested to enable the archivist to
accurately identify and locate the information requested. (Note: The Governor's Office
has requested that the State Archives contact the Public Information Coordinator for the
Governor's Office when we receive a Public Information Act request for these records.)
If our review reveals information that may be excepted by the Public Information Act, we
are obligated to seek an open records decision from the Attorney General on whether the
records can be released. The Public Information Act allows the Archives ten working days
after receiving a request to make this determination. The Attorney General has 45
working days to render a decision. Alternately, the Archives can inform you of the
nature of the potentially excepted information and if you agree, that information can be
redacted or removed and you can access the remainder of the records.
Restrictions on
Use Most records created by Texas state agencies are not copyrighted. State records also include
materials received by, not created by, state agencies. Copyright remains with the
creator. The researcher is responsible for complying with U.S. Copyright Law (Title 17
U.S.C.).
Technical Requirements None.

Statewide cost allocation
plans,
1971, 1989-1999,
bulk 1990-1998,
3.75 cubic ft.
The Texas Office of the Governor's
Budget and Planning Office advises the Governor regarding state fiscal matters,
monitors state appropriations and operations, and analyzes fiscal and economic
issues. Records include cost allocation plans, correspondence, proposals,
manuals, reports, opinions, printed material, memoranda, legal documents,
questionnaires, contracts, organization charts, and notes, dating 1971,
1989-1999, bulk 1990 to 1998, maintained in the Texas Office of the Governor's
Budget and Planning Office during the terms of George W. Bush. The records
concern the creation of cost allocation plans that track the state's indirect
costs and the recovery of those costs for the purpose of satisfying federal
grant guidelines. The materials are divided into three general sections: the
actual cost allocations plans; reports, manuals, and proposals concerning the
plans; and related correspondence.
Cost allocation plans were prepared
by David M. Griffith & Associates, LTD and by KPMG Peat Marwick at the
request of the Office of Budget and Planning. The plans are divided into the
following sections, with descriptive introductions: certification by the
responsible public official; organization chart; summary of fiscal year fixed
costs; and the actual cost allocation plan, a detailed analysis and allocation
of agency costs based on actual allocations from the prior fiscal year. A
slightly different report, the full cost allocation plan also reports
statements of direct and indirect costs and has a format that simply includes
an introduction and the detailed plan. The majority of each year's report
concerns Section I costs, namely non-billed costs of certain eligible services
provided to state entities by the central service agencies, particularly the
Texas General Services Commission, the Texas Department of Information
Resources, the Texas State Library and Archives Commission's records storage
program, and others. The records also include Section II plans for a number of
fiscal years. These plans include central service costs that are directly
charged/billed to agencies and universities.
The second section includes
copies of the proposals submitted by David M. Griffith & Associates, LTD in
response to the Office of Budget and Planning's search for contractors to
prepare the cost allocation plans. Only the proposals submitted in 1990,
1992-1994, and 1996 are present. Additionally the section includes training
materials and manuals.
The final section contains correspondence and
attachments regarding the cost allocation plans. Much of the material involves
communications with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
the agency designated by OMB (U.S. Office of Management and Budget) as the
cognizant agency responsible for negotiating indirect, fringe benefit (and
other specialty) rates and issuing related rate agreements for a significant
number of organizations receiving federal awards. Budget and Planning Office
Grants Team staff member Tom Adams figures prominently in the majority of the
correspondence. In 1990, Adams was selected to be the Texas Statewide
Allocation Plan Project Officer, serving under then Director of Budget and
Planning, Sheila W. Beckett and, later, Dale Craymer and Albert Hawkins, who
also appear in the correspondence. The files include requests for proposals,
rejected proposals and bids, consultant and interagency contracts and
agreements, and related proposal correspondence.
The correspondence
centers around costs the federal government disallowed, particularly charges
regarding the Capitol Complex Telephone System and the Uniform Group Insurance
Program (UGIP). In the case of the telephone system, the OMB concluded that the
billing rate included equipment and interest costs and provided for a reserve
fund for growth and construction, all of which were unallowable. In addition,
the fund balance exceeded the two months' operating expenses that the federal
government considered reasonable. The Governor's office worked to resolve the
problem by restructuring its billing rates and repaying the disallowed charges.
Two major issues were involved in the matter of the UGIP. First, the
federal government demanded reimbursement of $4.4 million for the unmatched
contribution it made to UGIP (the state had failed to make a $22.2 million
payment to UGIP in July 1993). The state conceded liability in this matter. The
second issue concerned the assimilation of 50,000 higher education employees
into UGIP in 1992. DHHS demanded the repayment of over $14 million, perceiving
the assimilation to be a merger which not only required DHHS permission before
implementing but that threatened the stability of the UGIP fund. The governor's
office argued both that the assimilation was not a merger since all of the
higher education employees entered the system as new employees without carrying
over claims and that the fund had prospered
enormously as a result of the new membership. The dispute over the UGIP
expansion issue was appealed to the DHHS hearing examiner in Washington D.C.
The Appeals Board found that DHHS was correct in principal but had erred in
determining the amount of the disallowance. The state appealed, but also
determined that somewhat over $3 million would be the amount disallowed. In
1998 the Appeals Board overruled the state's motion of reconsideration and the
state brought its final complaint in 1999. Governor's Office General Counsel
staff members Stuart Bowen and Al Gonzales were involved in the process.

Background
Information The U.S. Office of Management and Budget issued OMB
Circular A-87, which defined allowable expenditures for Federal grants. The
circular established procedures for recovering both direct and indirect costs
of programs and required a state wishing to claim indirect costs as charges
against Federal grants to prepare an annual statewide cost allocation plan and
to submit the plan for approval to a designated federal department for review
and approval. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has been
designated by OMB as the cognizant agency responsible for negotiating indirect,
fringe benefit (and other specialty) rates and issuing related Rate Agreements
for a significant number of organizations receiving Federal awards. Within this
Department, the Division of Cost Allocation (DCA) is responsible for
negotiating and approving rate(s) that should be used to determine amounts of
indirect, fringe benefit and other types of costs to be included on a Federal
award. The approval is formalized by issuance of a Rate Agreement signed by the
cognizant agency and an authorized representative of the organization.
According to Texas Government Code, Title 10, Chapter 2106.002, the office
of the governor prepares annually the federally required statewide cost
allocation plan. The plan must: (1) identify the costs of providing statewide
support services to each state agency; (2) allocate to each state agency an
appropriate portion of the total costs of statewide support services; (3)
identify, to the extent possible, the amount of federally reimbursable indirect
costs in each allocated portion; and (4) develop and prescribe a billing
procedure that ensures each state agency is billed for all costs allocated to
the agency for which the agency is not obligated to pay another state agency
under other law. The office of the governor shall distribute a copy of the plan
to each state agency. Within the Governor's Office, the Office of Budget and
Planning's Grants Team has been tasked with producing this report.
The
Uniform Grant Management Standards (UGMS), Chapter II,
Cost Principles for State and Local Governments and
Other Affected Entities [the document may be found on the
Governor's Office website
] sets out the basic cost principles applicable to all grants
administered by a state agency which are awarded to cities, counties, other
political subdivisions of the state and entities receiving state-administered
funds from federal block grants. This chapter specifically includes, therefore,
all federal categorical grants, federal block grants, and state grants. The
basis of Chapter II is OMB Circular A-87. Cities, counties, and other political
subdivisions of the state seeking to establish a cost allocation plan and
indirect cost rate should contact the OMB to request an assignment of a
cognizant federal agency to review and approve any such plan. In those cases in
which funds are received from two or more state agencies, recipients should
contact the Governor's Budget and Planning Office to receive an assignment of a
state single audit coordinating agency. The Budget and Planning Office may, but
is not required, to review and approve the cost allocation plan.
For
further information on Texas grant and contract management see Texas Government
Code, Title 7, Chapter 783: Uniform Grant and Contract Management. This chapter
may be cited as the Uniform Grant and Contract Management Act. The Act,
established in 1981, directed the governor's office to establish uniform grant
and contract administration procedures to promote
the efficient use of public funds in local government and in programs requiring
cooperation among local, state, and federal agencies. These standards
further that objective by providing awarding agencies and grantees a
standardized set of financial management procedures and definitions, by
requiring consistency among grantor agencies in their dealings with grantees,
and by ensuring accountability for the expenditure of public funds. State
agencies are required to adhere to these standards when administering grants
and other financial assistance agreements with cities, counties and other
political subdivisions of the state.
Arrangement Records are arranged by agency staff in three
general sections: the actual cost allocation plans; reports, manuals, and
proposals concerning the plans; and related correspondence. The plans are in
chronological order. The reports, manuals, and proposals remain in the order in
which they arrived, though the proposals have been placed in chronological
order within the section. The correspondence remains in the order in which it
arrived.

Property tax relief records,
1976-1996,
bulk 1996,
1.5 cubic ft. and 54 audiocassette
tapes Property tax relief records are written testimony,
public testimony registration cards, sign-in sheets, audiocassette tapes of
public hearings, and correspondence, 1976 to 1996, bulk 1996, created,
received, or maintained by the Governor's Office of Budget and Planning, which
provided administrative support to the Citizen's Committee on Property Tax
Relief. The committee was created by Texas Governor George W. Bush to explore
ways to reduce property taxes. The Staff Work Group on Property Tax Relief,
composed of designees of Governor Bush, Lieutenant Governor Bob Bullock, House
Speaker Pete Laney, and Comptroller John Sharp, was created to develop possible
replacements for the school property tax without providing recommendations.
Registration cards include the names of individuals testifying at hearings held
by the citizen's committee, title and address of those testifying, who they
represent, and the location of the public hearing; the cards also include notes
on the time the individual spoke and a brief summary of the testimony. Sign-in
sheets include names and addresses of individuals attending the hearings held
by the citizen's committee. Hearings were held in Amarillo, Beaumont, Corpus
Christi, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Harlingen, Houston, Lubbock, San Antonio,
Tyler, and Wichita Falls. Testimony was presented by state officials; former
state officials; representatives of organizations, businesses, and agriculture;
and home owners, including those on fixed incomes. Correspondence was sent by
individuals unable to attend the hearings. Some correspondence was forwarded to
Albert Hawkins, Director of the Governor's Office of Budget & Planning and
Governor Bush's designee to the Staff Work Group on Property Tax Relief, by
Elton Bomer, Commissioner of Insurance and chairman of the Citizen's Committee
on Property Tax Relief. See the Budget and Planning Office series
Publications for citizen's committee and work
group final reports.
Arrangement These records are arranged by hearing location,
then by type of material, as received from the agency, with unidentified
audiotapes listed at the end of the hearings. A separate group of
correspondence sent to Albert Hawkins, Budget and Planning Director, is filed
at the end.

Grants Team records,
1967-2000, undated,
bulk 1995-2000
17.25 cubic ft.
The Grants Team monitors the federal,
state, and private funding information resources and alerts state legislators,
state agencies, non-profit organizations, all subdivisions of government and
individuals to funding opportunities. Records include correspondence,
memoranda, letters and memoranda of agreement, grant reference materials,
casework, executive orders, strategic plans, evaluations, reports,
publications, bylaws, policies and procedures, manuals, printed materials,
calendars, drafts, budgets, performance measures, legislative records,
speeches, opinions, clippings, web page printouts, forms, organization charts,
mailing lists, notes, telephone directories, travel and purchase records, and
3.5-inch floppy disks that date 1967 to 2000 and undated, bulk 1995 to 2000,
maintained by the Grants Team in the Texas Office of the Governor's Budget and
Planning Office during the tenure of George W. Bush. The records of assistance
to regional planning commissions document the activities of the administrations
of all Texas governors from John Connally to George W. Bush in the origination,
development, and functioning of Texas' regional assistance funding program and
regional planning commissions. Denise Francis' files cover a wide range of
subjects handled as head of the Grants Team. Casework records respond to
requests for assistance in locating and obtaining grant funds. Training files
document workshops presented by Grants Team staff around Texas from 1998 to
2000. The agency strategic plans and reports, 1995 to 1996, seem to have been
submitted in 1996 in accordance with the responsibility of the Texas Governor's
Budget and Planning office's Grants Team to collect and analyze performance
data from state agencies on maximizing federal funds.
Grants Team Background The Grants Team monitors the
federal, state, and private funding information resources and alerts state
legislators, state agencies, non-profit organizations, all subdivisions of
government and individuals to funding opportunities. The Texas Legislature
established a State Grant Writing Team in the Office of State Federal Relations
in 1991 (Senate Bill 3, 72nd Legislature, First Called Session, 1991). In 1995,
this Team became part of the Texas Governor's Budget and Planning Office (House
Bill 1399, 74th Legislature, Regular Session, 1995). The Grants Team,
specifically: 1) provides technical assistance on federal funding matters to
state agencies, subdivisions of government, Texas legislators, non-profit
agencies, and individuals; 2) provides counseling on the availability and means
of obtaining federal, state, and private funding assistance; 3) identifies
federal and state funding opportunities and responds to inquiries about federal
policies and agencies; 4) provides proposal writing support and review of
applications; 5) collects and analyzes performance data from state agencies on
maximizing federal funds; 6) compiles and distributes the Grant Alert, a fax newsletter about funding
opportunities; 7) maintains a clearinghouse of information on the availability
of federal, state, and private grants; 8) identifies and facilitates
opportunities for collaboration among state agencies to seek federal
discretionary funds; and 9) provides proposal writing training on a cost
sharing basis. By law, the state Grants Team may charge fees to recover service
costs.
The State Single Point of Contact is co-located with the Grants
Team and provides grant applicants with information on how to comply with the
intergovernmental review requirements of Federal Executive Order 12372 and the
Texas Review and Comment System. During Bush's administration the Single Point
of Contact was routed all targeted grant applications (and responses) that were
subject to statewide or regional review and had been or would be submitted to
the federal government. The Texas Review and Comment System [TRACS], run by the
Grants Team, provides state and local officials with opportunities to comment
on state plans, applications for state or federal financial assistance, and
environmental impact statements related to projects or funding that affect
their jurisdictions before the proposals are approved or funded. For further
information on Texas grant and contract management see Texas Government Code,
Title 7, Chapter 783: Uniform Grant and Contract Management. This chapter may
be cited as the Uniform Grant and Contract Management Act.
Staff members
in 1996 were (with their areas of responsibility): Denise Francis, Director -
child care, criminal justice, employment and job training, health and human
services, law enforcement and public safety, mental health, and substance
abuse; Ron Ayer, Grants Analyst - agriculture, business development,
disabilities, economic development, housing and homeless issues,
telecommunications, and transportation; (by 1999 his responsibilities had
evolved into disabilities, homeless issues, mental health, and
telecommunications and he seems to have been doing a substantial amount of
proposal review and grant writing training workshops); Clair Burleson, Research
Assistant - academic research, education, energy, environment, historic
preservation, Indian affairs, parks/recreation, and youth (non-incarcerated);
and Mary Helen Rositas, Administrative Technician - compiled and managed the
Grant Alert; database maintenance, document
handling and administrative support; and maintenance of reports from state
agencies on receipt of federal funds. By 1999 Clair Burleson seems to have left
and the following staff members had been added: Jennifer Fisher, Grants Analyst
- agriculture, rural development, business development, economic development,
housing, and transportation; and Rita Stephan, Grants Analyst - academic
research, education, energy, environment, historic preservation, Indian
affairs, parks/recreation, and youth (non-incarcerated). Over time, other staff
members and interns seem to have included Debra Mills, Reagan Swank, Matt
Salazar, Maria Hernandez, Joe Castillo, Andres Alcantar, and others. Tom Adams
was the State Single Point of Contact.
Organization of the Records
The Grants Team records were organized into five subseries by State Archives
staff after reviewing the way the records were maintained by the agency:
- Denise Francis' files, about 1994-2000, 8 cubic ft.
- Staff casework, 1991-2000, bulk 1997-2000, 3 cubic
ft.
- Records of assistance to regional planning
commissions, 1967-1999, 3.25 cubic ft.
- Training
files, 1998-2001, 2 cubic ft.
- Agency strategic plans
and reports, 1995-1996, 0.4 cubic ft.
Denise Francis' files,
1991, 1993-2000, undated,
bulk
1995-2000,
8 cubic
ft. The
Grants Team monitors federal, state, and private funding information resources
and alerts state legislators, state agencies, non-profit organizations, all
subdivisions of government and individuals to funding opportunities. The
records are the files of Denise Francis, Group Director of the Grants Team
during the terms of Texas Governor George W. Bush. Materials include
correspondence, memoranda, printed materials, grant reference materials,
casework, general correspondence, day planners, manuals, web page printouts,
notes, Grant Alert correspondence, federal grant alerts, fax cover sheets,
salary schedules, the Xerox manual, travel reimbursements, publication purchase
orders, and assorted other administrative files, dated 1991, 1993 to 2000, and
undated, bulk 1995 to 2000. Francis was part of the State Grants Team while it
was under the Texas Office of State-Federal Relations and moved with the Grants
Team to the Governor's Office in 1995. A few records in these files document
the Team while it was still under the Office of State-Federal Relations.
Records contained within this group document many of the functions of the
Grants Team.
Arrangement These records have been left in their original
order, to inform study of the functioning of the Grants Team. To aid in access,
files have been provided with headings and some specific contents and subjects
have been listed.

Restrictions on Access Because of the possibility that portions of these records fall under Public Information Act
exceptions including, but not limited to, communication between a citizen and a
legislator and/or lieutenant governor (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Chapter 306); agency
memoranda and working papers (V.T.C.A., Government Code Section 552.111); social
security numbers (V.T.C.A., Government Code Section 552.147); home addresses and phone
numbers of government employees and officials (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Section
552.117); e-mail addresses (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Section 552.136); account
numbers (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Section 552.136) and other information protected
under common law privacy (V.T.C.A., Government Code Sections 552.101), an archivist
must review these records before they can be accessed for research. The records may be
requested for research under the provisions of the Public Information Act (V.T.C.A.,
Government Code, Chapter 552). The researcher may request an interview with an
archivist or submit a request by mail (Texas State Library and Archives Commission, P.
O. Box 12927, Austin, TX 78711), fax (512-463-5436), email (Dir_Lib@tsl.state.tx.us),
or see our web page (https://www.tsl.state.tx.us/requestgovernorbushrecords.html). Include
enough description and detail about the information requested to enable the archivist
to accurately identify and locate the information requested. (Note: The Governor's
Office has requested that the State Archives contact the Public Information
Coordinator for the Governor's Office when we receive a Public Information Act request
for these records.) If our review reveals information that may be excepted by the
Public Information Act, we are obligated to seek an open records decision from the
Attorney General on whether the records can be released. The Public Information Act
allows the Archives ten working days after receiving a request to make this
determination. The Attorney General has 45 working days to render a decision.
Alternately, the Archives can inform you of the nature of the potentially excepted
information and if you agree, that information can be redacted or removed and you can
access the remainder of the records.
Restrictions on Use Most records created by Texas state agencies are not copyrighted. State records also include
materials received by, not created by, state agencies. Copyright remains with the
creator. The researcher is responsible for complying with U.S. Copyright Law (Title 17
U.S.C.).
Technical
RequirementsRecords contain information on 3.5-inch computer disks. Researchers wishing to view any of the
information on the disks should consult with Archives staff and be aware that these
disks may or may not still be readable. Some information on the disks may be exempted
from disclosure under the Texas Public Information Act.

Grants Team monitors funding information resources and alerts state
legislators, state agencies, non-profit organizations, all subdivisions of
government and individuals to funding opportunities. Printed materials, web
page printouts, correspondence, memoranda, notes, drafts, grant proposals,
draft publications, a speech, a travel requisition, a travel voucher, and a
press release comprise the casework files of the Texas Office of the Governor's
Budget and Planning Office Grants Team dating 1991 to 2000, bulk 1997 to 2000.
Casework records predominantly consist of correspondence and attachments that
include and respond to requests for assistance in locating and obtaining grant
funds. Many of the attachments are printed materials that provide information
on the potential sources of grant funding that may apply to each request for
assistance. Many letters have an attached cover sheet detailing the request for
aid and the staff responses over time. Some letters were passed from the
Correspondence Office to the Grants Team; a few of these letters were logged
into the correspondence database. Some letters were originally sent to the
Bush for President campaign office but were
directed by the campaign staff to the Governor's Office for responses.
Most prominent in the records is casework assigned to Grants Team staff
members Ron Ayer and Debra Mills, who were assisted by a number of interns.
Casework of Denise Francis, Rita Stephan, and Tom Adams can also be found. On
numerous occasions the requests for assistance were passed between staff
members to ensure that the requests were answered by the person with the most
specialized knowledge. The requestors include state agencies, county and local
subdivisions of government, Texas legislators, non-profit agencies, for-profit
businesses, and individuals. The correspondence requests assistance in finding
funds for a variety of purposes including, but not limited to, establishing,
maintaining, or assisting small businesses, homeless shelters/halfway houses,
community and youth recreation facilities, care facilities and programs for the
elderly and disabled, group homes, veterans, police and fire departments,
animal shelters, charter schools, municipal facilities, local economic
development projects, and clean water supplies. The Grants Team staff also
provided assistance with grant proposal development by reviewing grant
proposals, either prior to the proposals submission to a funding agency or
post-rejection, to provide suggestions for future improvement. A few files
concern the Team's computer information tracking system ADIS (Agency
Designation Information System).
Arrangement These records remain in their original order as
received from the agency, which is groupings by staff member (not in
alphabetical order and a staff members' files may be in multiple locations),
and then usually in chronological order.
Preferred Citation (Identify
the item), Staff casework, Texas Governor George W. Bush Budget and Planning

Restrictions on Access Because of the possibility that portions of these records fall under Public Information Act
exceptions including, but not limited to, agency memoranda and working papers
(V.T.C.A., Government Code Section 552.111); communication between a citizen and a
legislator and/or lieutenant governor (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Chapter 306); social
security numbers (V.T.C.A., Government Code Section 552.147); home addresses, family
information, and phone numbers of government employees and officials and peace
officers (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Section 552.117); e-mail addresses (V.T.C.A.,
Government Code, Section 552.136); account numbers (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Section
552.136); information submitted by potential contractor (V.T.C.A., Government Code,
Section 552.128); and other information protected under common law privacy (V.T.C.A.,
Government Code Sections 552.101), an archivist must review these records before they
can be accessed for research. The records may be requested for research under the
provisions of the Public Information Act (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Chapter 552). The
researcher may request an interview with an archivist or submit a request by mail
(Texas State Library and Archives Commission, P. O. Box 12927, Austin, TX 78711), fax
(512-463-5436), email (Dir_Lib@tsl.state.tx.us), or see our web page (https://www.tsl.state.tx.us/requestgovernorbushrecords.html). Include
enough description and detail about the information requested to enable the archivist
to accurately identify and locate the information requested. (Note: The Governor's
Office has requested that the State Archives contact the Public Information
Coordinator for the Governor's Office when we receive a Public Information Act request
for these records.) If our review reveals information that may be excepted by the
Public Information Act, we are obligated to seek an open records decision from the
Attorney General on whether the records can be released. The Public Information Act
allows the Archives ten working days after receiving a request to make this
determination. The Attorney General has 45 working days to render a decision.
Alternately, the Archives can inform you of the nature of the potentially excepted
information and if you agree, that information can be redacted or removed and you can
access the remainder of the records.
Restrictions on Use Most records created by Texas state agencies are not copyrighted. State records also include
materials received by, not created by, state agencies. Copyright remains with the
creator. The researcher is responsible for complying with U.S. Copyright Law (Title 17
U.S.C.).
Technical
Requirements None.

Records of assistance to regional planning commissions,
1967-1999,
3.25 cubic
ft. The
materials document the activities of the administrations of all Texas governors
from John Connally to George W. Bush in the origination, development, and
functioning of Texas' regional assistance funding program and regional planning
commissions. (The regional planning commissions are also referred to as
regional councils of governments, councils of governments, development
councils, and associations of governments.) Records include correspondence,
memoranda, memoranda of agreement, printed materials, executive orders (one
with an original seal and signature of Dolph Briscoe), reports, publications,
bill copies, bylaws, policies and procedures, publications, drafts, budgets,
legislative records, speeches, opinions, clippings, organization charts, and a
single 3.5-inch floppy disk dating 1967 to 1999. Records were maintained by the
Grants Team in the Texas Office of the Governor's Budget and Planning Office
during the tenure of George W. Bush. Staff member Tom Adams figures prominently
in the records from the 1990s.
Initial records contain Governor Connally's founding executive order, materials concerning
founding and governing legislation, Attorney General opinions, speeches, early
policies and procedures, proposals and rationales, and reports concerning the
origination and early years of the regional council/commission system and its
relationship to the HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) 701
program. The next section of records, the redelineation files, concern the biennial
reviews, beginning in 1971, of state planning region boundaries by the Governor's
Office. A significant portion of the redelineation files concern a 1975 meeting held
in Crowell, Texas on the subject of the potential reorganization of regional
associations affecting a number of North Texas counties. Other materials, found in the
files titled 388.16 Consultants findings, 1968, discuss
comprehensive health planning and the development of the Interagency Health Planning
Commission, concepts furthered by the recent creation of the regional planning
councils. The section of general files contains information about or concerning all of
the regional planning councils, such as issues regarding funding allocation formulas,
general correspondence, and requests for project funds as well as copies forms for
requesting funds and the 1996 quarterly/annual reports for all of the councils.
The final section of records consists of files for each of
the individual planning councils. The files generally include reports,
correspondence, bylaws, and other information submitted to enable the councils
to receive state planning assistance funds. The bodies represented include
Alamo Area Council of Governments, Ark-Tex Council of Governments, Brazos
Valley Development Council, Capitol Area Planning Council, Central Texas
Council of Governments, Coastal Bend Council of Governments, Concho Valley
Council of Governments, Deep East Texas Council of Governments, East Texas
Council of Governments, Golden Crescent Council of Governments, Heart of Texas
Council of Governments, Houston-Galveston Area Council, Lower Rio Grande Valley
Development Council, Middle Rio Grande Valley Development Council, North Texas
Council of Governments, Panhandle Regional Planning Commission, Permian Basin
Regional Planning Commission, Rio Grande Council of Governments, South East
Texas Regional Planning Commission, South Plains Association of Governments,
South Texas Development Council, Texoma Council of Governments, West Central
Texas Council of Governments, and West Texas Council of Governments.
Program History The authority to
establish regional planning commissions in Texas was initiated by House Bill
319, 59th Legislature, Regular Session, in 1965. The state's interest in
recognizing regional councils as political subdivisions stemmed from national
legislation permitting federal agencies to contract with or provide grants,
often in the form of matching funds, to public bodies to perform certain
governmental services (see United States Bureau of the Budget Circular A-80),
thereby bringing additional federal funds into the state. In 1967, for the
1968-1969 biennium, the Texas Legislature appropriated $250,000 in general
support of regional council comprehensive planning activities. The funding
program was to be called the State Planning Assistance Grant Program and the
monies were allocated as block grants which could be used for any legal
purposes of the regional councils. Eighteen organizations qualified for such
grants during 1968 and funds were used for programs including cooperative
purchasing, land use studies, economic base and population studies, planning
for law enforcement and training local officials, and regional plans for water
and sewage needs.
During 1967 and 1968 the Governor's Division of
Planning Coordination, assisted by a consulting firm, delineated the state into
multi-county regions that exhibited common economic, social and historic ties.
As a result, in December 1968 Governor Connally established 21 multi-county
regions, called State Planning Regions, which provided a framework for the
coordination of functional planning activities of state agencies and a guide to
state and federal agencies in developing regions for the delivery of services.
The State Planning Region boundaries were used by the governor in approving the
boundaries of regional councils. (The regional planning commissions have been
known as regional councils of governments, councils of governments, development
councils, and associations of governments.)
The 61st Legislature
(Senate Bill 547, Regular Session, 1969) amended the statute governing the
planning councils by: defining a comprehensive development planning process;
recognizing regional councils as political subdivisions of the state;
permitting regional councils to perform services for member governments by
contract; authorizing them to acquire real and personal property; increasing
the State Planning Assistance Grant Program to $1.3 million for the state
biennium; modifying the funding formula to include a base grant of $10,000 to
each qualifying regional council, plus $.05 per capita for all population over
100,000; and permitting them to cooperate on an interstate or international
basis with the permission of the governor.
The 62nd Legislature again
amended the statutes in 1971 (Senate Bill 242, Regular Session) to provide for:
stronger and more comprehensive review and comment procedures on government
applications for federal and state assistance; the loan of government employees
to regional councils; participation in certain public retirement systems by
employees of regional councils; an increase in the percentage of elected
officials required on commission boards from 51% to 66.66%; a biennial review
of state planning region boundaries by the Governor's Office; further
guidelines and technical assistance to be provided by the Governor's Office;
and the raising of state financial assistance to $3.2 million for the
biennium.
Since the establishment of the State Planning Assistance Grant
Program, the Governor's Office, originally through the Division of Planning
Coordination, has been charged by the Texas Legislature with the administration
of the program. At the time of writing, the program is administered by the
Grants Team, a major subset of the Texas Governor's Budget and Planning Office.
The team monitors the federal, state, and private funding information resources
and alerts state agencies, non-profit organizations, units of local government
and other entities to funding opportunities.
Arrangement In the course of
preparing the records for research, the records were found to have small
sections of remaining discernible order. While retaining the original overall
structure, the materials have been arranged by State Archives staff as follows
to provide more efficient access: 1) files regarding the development and early
years of the state planning assistance program, 2) files on the redelineation
studies that occurred in the 1970s, 3) general files applying to all councils
of government during the 1980s and 1990s, and 4) files of the individual
planning councils/councils of government in alphabetical order. The majority of
the files in the first two sections of the records bear the remains of a
numbering system that may reflect the original filing system.

Restrictions on Access Because of the possibility that portions of these records fall under Public Information Act
exceptions including, but not limited to, account numbers (V.T.C.A., Government Code,
Section 552.136) and home addresses and personal family information of government
employees and officials (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Section 552.117), an archivist
must review these records before they can be accessed for research. The records may be
requested for research under the provisions of the Public Information Act (V.T.C.A.,
Government Code, Chapter 552). The researcher may request an interview with an
archivist or submit a request by mail (Texas State Library and Archives Commission, P.
O. Box 12927, Austin, TX 78711), fax (512-463-5436), email (Dir_Lib@tsl.state.tx.us),
or see our web page (https://www.tsl.state.tx.us/requestgovernorbushrecords.html). Include
enough description and detail about the information requested to enable the archivist
to accurately identify and locate the information requested. (Note: The Governor's
Office has requested that the State Archives contact the Public Information
Coordinator for the Governor's Office when we receive a Public Information Act request
for these records.) If our review reveals information that may be excepted by the
Public Information Act, we are obligated to seek an open records decision from the
Attorney General on whether the records can be released. The Public Information Act
allows the Archives ten working days after receiving a request to make this
determination. The Attorney General has 45 working days to render a decision.
Alternately, the Archives can inform you of the nature of the potentially excepted
information and if you agree, that information can be redacted or removed and you can
access the remainder of the records.
Restrictions on Use Most records created by Texas state agencies are not copyrighted. State records also include
materials received by, not created by, state agencies. Copyright remains with the
creator. The researcher is responsible for complying with U.S. Copyright Law (Title 17
U.S.C.).
Technical
Requirements Records contain information on a 3.5-inch computer disk. Researchers wishing to view any of the
information on the disk should consult with Archives staff and be aware that these
disks may or may not still be readable. Some information on the disks may be exempted
from disclosure under the Texas Public Information Act.

Training files,

2 cubic
ft. The Governor's Office of
Budget and Planning State Grant Writing Team provides grant proposal writing
training to state agencies, political subdivisions of the state, and other
entities on a cost recovery basis. The Grants Team's proposal writing training
workshop is designed to familiarize novice and intermediate-level proposal
writers with the various aspects of proposal writing: researching
funding--federal, state, and private; how to plan projects that meet agency
goals and constituency needs; and the how-to's on writing successful grant
applications.
Files contain correspondence,
Letter Agreements for Services, travel requisitions, programs, printed
materials, evaluations, request for training forms, etc. and training
performance measures and other manuals and reports documenting training
workshops given around Texas from 1998 to 2001. It is not known if the records
are complete, or if they include all workshops from that time period.
Arrangement
These records are arranged by the creating agency by training session, then
fiscal year quarter.
Preferred Citation (Identify the item), Training files, Texas
Governor George W. Bush Budget and Planning Office Grants Team records.
Archives and Information Services Division, Texas State Library and Archives
Commission.
Restrictions on Access Because of the possibility that portions of these records fall under Public Information Act
exceptions, but not limited to, agency memoranda and working papers (V.T.C.A.,
Government Code Section 552.111); e-mail addresses (V.T.C.A., Government Code Section
552.137); social security numbers (V.T.C.A., Government Code Section 552.147);
financial information (V.T.C.A., Government Code Section 552.136), an archivist must
review these records before they can be accessed for research. The records may be
requested for research under the provisions of the Public Information Act (V.T.C.A.,
Government Code, Chapter 552). The researcher may request an interview with an
archivist or submit a request by mail (Texas State Library and Archives Commission, P.
O. Box 12927, Austin, TX 78711), fax (512-463-5436), email (Dir_Lib@tsl.state.tx.us),
or see our web page (https://www.tsl.state.tx.us/requestgovernorbushrecords.html). Include
enough description and detail about the information requested to enable the archivist
to accurately identify and locate the information requested. (Note: The Governor's
Office has requested that the State Archives contact the Public Information
Coordinator for the Governor's Office when we receive a Public Information Act request
for these records.) If our review reveals information that may be excepted by the
Public Information Act, we are obligated to seek an open records decision from the
Attorney General on whether the records can be released. The Public Information Act
allows the Archives ten working days after receiving a request to make this
determination. The Attorney General has 45 working days to render a decision.
Alternately, the Archives can inform you of the nature of the potentially excepted
information and if you agree, that information can be redacted or removed and you can
access the remainder of the records.
[Note: The majority of the
files contain working papers, possibly excepted from disclosure, and
Comptroller payee numbers on purchase vouchers (V.T.C.A., Government Code
Section 552.111 and 552.147, respectively). Because these items are present in
the majority of folders, they are not individually marked as confidential in
the folder inventory.]
Restrictions on Use Most records created by Texas state agencies are not copyrighted. State records also include
materials received by, not created by, state agencies. Copyright remains with the
creator. The researcher is responsible for complying with U.S. Copyright Law (Title 17
U.S.C.).
Technical
Requirements Records contain information on 3.5-inch computer disks. Researchers wishing to view any of the
information on the disks should consult with Archives staff and be aware that these
disks may or may not still be readable. Some information on the disks may be exempted
from disclosure under the Texas Public Information Act.

Agency strategic plans and reports,
1995-1996,
0.4 cubic
ft. As
one of its responsibilities, the Grants Team was to collect and analyze
performance data from agencies on maximizing federal funds. In 1996, this
responsibility was partially met by the requirement that, as a part of the
statewide governmental strategic planning process, all Texas state agencies
were to submit quarterly federal funds financial reports and one copy of their
1997-2001 strategic plan to the Grants Team and three copies to the larger
Budget and Planning Office. Records are agency strategic plans, quarterly
federal funds financial reports, and state agency evaluations for federal funds
assistance, with accompanying memoranda and correspondence, dating 1995 and
1996, maintained by the Texas Governor's Budget and Planning Office's Grants
Team during the term of George W. Bush. The strategic plans and quarterly
reports described here cover state agencies in an alphabetic range from G to
La. The location, and/or existence, of the alphabetic sections A to G and La to
Z is unknown.
Arrangement The records were found in partial alphabetical
order by agency. While preparing the records for research, all of the agency
files were placed in alphabetical order by State Archives staff to provide
consistency.

During Texas Governor George W. Bush's
term, the Texas Office of the Governor's Budget and Planning Office prepared
the Governor's biennial budget recommendations to the Legislature, monitored
state appropriations and operations, analyzed fiscal and economic issues, and
studied property tax options. Materials consist of eight publications, dating
1995 to 2000, maintained in the Texas Office of the Governor's Budget and
Planning Office during the terms of George W. Bush. The publications concern
the Texas state budget proposed by the Governor to the 75th and 76th
Legislatures, a budget policy message to the 74th Legislature in the form of a
published speech by the Governor, statewide strategic planning elements from
1998 and 2000, and property tax relief.
Arrangement These records
remain in their original order.
