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).

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

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.

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.
