INTRODUCTION

Its hard to make you r voice count if you d ont know wh o to

talk to. This booklet tells you who thefederal movers and

shakers in the area of foster care are. It also tells you how to

reach them.

The Policy Exchange d eveloped th is directory to help policy

maker s, practitioners, researchers, analysts, advocates, and

children and youth in foster care understand who controls

federal foster care program s, policies and pu rse strings.

These program s, which account for billions of dollars in

fund ing, range from th e federal IV-E program that pro-vides matching foster care fund s to states, to the Independ -

ent Living program that provides grants to states to help

foster care youth transition to life on th eir own.

We urge you to use this directory to let the people wh o can

make a d ifference know your op inions about how to make

federal foster care programs w ork better.

What Is in Th is Directory?

This directory contains basic information nam e, title,

add ress, phone, fax, emailfor key federal staff who h ave

pow er and influence over federal foster care programs,policies and p urse strings.

This directory has two major sections: Congress (which

makes the laws and determ ines fund ing), and the Executive

Branch (wh ich ad ministers program s).

The section on Key St aff in t he Congress (page 7) isdivided into five parts:

Aut horizing Commit tees These committees draft thelaws both House and Senate, and both Republicans

(the Majority) and Democrats (the Minority).

1


8/36

Appropriations Committ ees These comm ittees draftthe bills that ultimately determ ine who gets the money,and how mu ch they get both House and Senate, and

both Republicans and Democrats.

Budget Committees These Congressional bud geteersset broad spend ing targets for all program areas both

Hou se and Senate, and both Repu blicans and

Democrats.

Congressional Leadership sets the policy agend a and

legislative schedule both House and Senate, and both

Republicans and Democrats.

Congressional Support Agencies provide members of

Congress with nonpar tisan research and analytical

assistance. In the area of foster care, the three most

important support agencies are the Congressional

Budget Office, the Congressional Research Service and

the General Accounting Office.

The section on Key Staff in t he Executiv e Branch (page 23)

includes:

The U.S. Departm ent of Healt h and Hum an Servi ces

Adm inist ration for Children and Families , which is incharge of federal foster care programs.

The White House, Office of Management and Budget,wh ich staffs the developm ent of the Presidents Bud get

on all issues, including foster care.

What Is Notin Th is Directory?

As long as this list of comm ittees, agencies and names may

look, there are m any things th at this pu blication doesnotdo.

This booklet does not tell you w ho the key p eople at the

state or local levels are. States have p rimary responsibilityfor all child w elfare services, includ ing foster care. This

includ es caseworker tr aining, case plan d evelopment,

2


9/36

recruiting and licensing foster families, and the d ay-to-dayservices caseworkers p rovide. Also, each state sets its own

legal and administrative structures and requirements, pays

a substantial amou nt of foster care costs, and determ ines

how m uch to pay foster parents.

This booklet does not tell you w ho the key p eople are in the

courts. Courts often make such crucial decisions as w hether

or not to place a child in foster care in the first place, return

a child to his or her birth family, or terminate pa rental rights

altogether.

This booklet does not tell you th e nam es of other key staff

wh o may be very influential, but w ho do n ot have line

auth ority for federal foster care p rograms.

This booklet does not tell you th e key people w ho control

other federal (as well as state and local) programs that are

especially important to children and youth in foster care. For

instance, the Senate Committee on H ealth, Edu cation, Labor

and Pensions and the House Committee on Education and

the Workforce authorize such laws as H ead Start, Title I, the

Workforce Investment Act, and stud ent financial aid. The

table on pages 4-5 summ arizes who does control these and

other major federal program s important to children and

youth in foster careinclud ing child care, health, nutrition,social services, education, special education, student aid, job

training, juvenile justice an d housing assistance.

This booklet does not tell you how federal foster care programs

work. You can find basic programm atic information, as well

as the transcript of our July 1999 seminar on The Federal Role

in Helping Y oung People Transition from Foster Care, on the

Policy Exchange Web site (www.policyexchange.iel.org).

(Ordering information is at th e end of this publication.)

Finally, this booklet does not tell you what you should say to

the p eople listed. Thats entirely up to you.

And Finally. . .This booklet goes to p ress (Janu ary 2000) shortly after th e

Foster Care Ind epend ence Act of 1999 was signed into law.

Many of the people listed in this directory played imp ortant

roles in crafting this law, w hich provides add itional services

to help you ng p eople in foster care transition su ccessfully to

adulthood.

Any d irectory such as this is out of date the minute it is

pu blished. People move on. Still, thepositions of people

with power and influence usually remain the same year

after year. That is why we have organized th is directory by

position, not nam es, so that it w ill continue to p rovide a

road m ap to key people long after the names and faces

change.

KEY STAFFIN TH E CONGRESS

The following pages list key Congressional players in foster

care policyAuthorizing Committees, AppropriationsComm ittees, Bud get Comm ittees, Congressional

Leadership, and Congressional Sup port Agen cies.

Aut horizing Commit tees create legal auth ority to begin or

continue federal program s. The Senate Committee on

Finance and th e House Comm ittee on Ways and Mean s are

the au thorizing committees for federal foster care programs.

Appropriations Commit tees typically set the am ount of d ol-lars federal dep artments, agencies and program s receive

each year. The House and Senate Subcommittees on Labor,

Health an d H um an Services, Edu cation and Related

Agencies are responsible for theannual appropriations for

foster care program s.

Budget Committees draft annual budget resolutions that set

targets for federal spend ing and revenue, both in total and

for broad program categories such as health and welfare.

The Repu blican and Democratic Congressional Leadershipattemp t to win supp ort for their partys goals and are re-

sponsible for opera ting Congress as an institution. The

Majority p arty (Repu blicans) sets the legislative calend ar.

Several nonp artisanCongressional Support Agencies

provide members of the House and Senate with nonpartisan

research and analytical assistance.

The Congressional Budget Office(CBO) providesbud getary analyses, cost estimates and economic fore-

casts, sets out (but d oes not recommen d) policy options,

and tracks bills to make sure they comply with overallbudget goals.

14/36

The Congressional Research Service(CRS) of the Libraryof Congress respond s to requestsfrom simple queries

to complex analysesfrom mem bers of Congress on a

wid e range of issues, includ ing foster care.

The General Accounting O ffice(GAO) monitors how theExecutive Branch spen ds the m oney Congress app ropri-

ates with a historical focus on u ncovering waste and

fraud an d a m ore recent focus on assessing program re-

sults.
