>The President's Council on Sustainable Development (PCSD) has begun a
>planning process for a National Summit on Sustainable Development scheduled
>to take place in early 1999. The purpose of the summit is to catalyze a
>national movement toward sustainable development and to use the event as an
>opportunity to better articulate the concepts and opportunities of
>sustainable development to the American public.
>
>The summit will bring together representatives from government, business,
>community, and non-profit organizations to exchange information and learn
>from each other; and showcase ideas, technologies, and practices that
>reflect an integrated approach toward Americans' economic, environmental,
>and social equity goals. We want to celebrate successes, transfer lessons
>learned, and galvanize further action to implement sustainable development
>throughout the nation. Proposals have been made to hold accompanying
>regional and local events as well.
>
>In an effort to make the planning process as participatory as possible, the
>PCSD is seeking your ideas and comments. Please send your responses to the
>following questions by, Monday, November 24, 1997:
