DOCUMENT RESUPE

[Need lo Further Minority Enterprise Development]. March 28,
1978. 4 pp.
Report to Wayne G. Granquist, Associate Director for Management
and Regulatory Policy, Office of Management and Budget; by John
Landicho, Associate Director, Community and Economic Development
Div.
Contact: Commuiity and Economic Development Div.
Organization Concerned: Small Business Administration; Office of
Minority Business Enterprise; interagency Council for
Minority Enterprise.
A review of selected activities of the Office of
Minority Business Enterprise (OMBE) and the Small Business
Administration (SBA) focused on: (1) OMBE's coordinating
responsibilities, specifically the Interagency CouncAl for
Minority Enterprise (IAC); and (2) the management assistance
prograr of both SBA and ORBE. The IAC's mission appears to be
broad enough to allow it to develop a program designed to
increase the effectiveness of rederal minori:y enterprise
proqrars. One problem IAC faces is the lack of information about
proqram eifectiveness; current knowledge of pregram impact is
not adequate to permit the most effective management of the
minoLity ente rpzise program. Howevei, the IAC has certain
advantages that should enable it to make constructive
contributions: the IAC is madt up of upper echelon Federal
agency officials who might be capable of influencing policy
direction, and representatives from the White House and the
office of Sanagement and Budget (08B) are IAC members. The role
of the coordinating committee should be changed by devoting some
of its efforts to identifying specific ways that Federal
programs can be more effectide, The problem of overlap between
OMBE and the SBA should not exist, and even though they both
provide management and technical assistance to minoricy
businesses, the function of each agency should be mutually
'exclusiwe. (RRS)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobacxqj0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
