TAILIEUCHUNG - AGENDA DOCUMENT NO. 11-41 FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION

Given the strong leadership evidenced by the current Governors of New York and New Jersey, and their appropriate and intense focus on responsible government, increased transparency, organizational efficiency and fiscal responsibility, the Port Authority now has a window of opportunity to drive the transformational changes fundamental to addressing the challenges of the organization. With the relatively recent appointments of a new Chairman, Vice‐Chairman, several Commissioners, Executive Director and Deputy Executive Director, the Port Authority has a reinvigorated focus. The organization’s new leadership appears intent on driving the change necessary to best position the Port Authority to meet the challenges of the 21st Century and to progress from its “business as usual” approach. A major theme in this endeavor is increased transparency and accountability throughout the organization. . | AGENDA DOCUMENT NO. 11-41 FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION WASHINGTON . 20463 June 23 2011 MEMORANDUM AGENDA ITEM To The Commission Through Alec Palmer Acting Staff Director For Meeting of II From Chief Compliance Officer Joseph F.
