On Thursday, July 6, 2000, President Clinton signed the executive order authorizing the Federal Career Intern Program. This program will serve as a tool to assist agencies in recruiting and attracting exceptional men and women who have a variety of experiences, academic disciplines, and competencies to help agencies meet their mission critical needs.

We will be issuing interim regulations as soon as possible to implement this Executive Order. A workgroup of interagency personnel representatives are meeting this Thursday, July 13^th to begin drafting the regulations.
