EOUSA Encourages Cooperative Communications with NAAUSA As a result of a lunch meeting in July between Carol DiBattiste, Director, Executive Office for United States Attorneys, Dennis Boyd, NAAUSA Executive Director, and Rob Pittman, detailed to EOUSA from WD of Texas, EOUSA has written to all United States Attorneys and First Assistant United States Attorneys to "encourage your cooperation in facilitating communications between NAAUSA and AUSAs in your district." Ms. DiBattiste’s communication was requested by NAAUSA because of concerns that some NAAUSA mail and faxes were not being delivered to AUSAs, and NAAUSA survey results which indicated several AUSAs were reluctant to join NAAUSA because of their belief that the Department of Justice did not approve of the organization’s activities (see page 8). The EOUSA communication also reminded U.S. Attorney’s offices that P.L. 104-177, which was supported by the Department, enables AUSAs to represent other employees or NAAUSA before the Department, when not inconsistent with their duties as AUSAs and that the Office of Personnel Management issued a regulation authorizing agencies to provide assistance to professional organizations. At the EOUSA/NAAUSA meeting, NAAUSA also suggested that the minutes of the Attorney General’s Advisory Committee be provided to NAAUSA for distribution and that there be regular meetings between EOUSA and NAAUSA. EOUSA responded by noting that the AGAC will consider posting minutes of meetings on the Department intranet system (operational late in 1997) and will arrange for regular meetings with NAAUSA.
