[NLA] The AELS as its own system & OMB plan

[Eileen Eckert]

Tom and others:
How do we make this plan happen? Specifically, what's the process for 
implementing Step 1 from Tom's proposal, and what can/should individuals do?

Step 1: Formulation. A White Paper should be developed that can be used to 
educate about the AELS and show (1) its name and present national
structure, mode of functioning, and distribution through state agencies,
(2) its high returns to investment through multiplier effects in adult
functionality in different domains of life activities, including spiritual
and humanistic activities, (3) its difference from the P/K-12 and Higher
Education systems, (4) the many negative cultural beliefs and forces that 
hold back the further development of the AELS, and (5) the need for much 
larger funds per enrollee to improve the delivery of services across the 
life span.
