On
January
21,
2009,
his
first
full
day
in
office,
the
President
issued
a
<a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Transparency_and_Open_Government/">
Memorandum
on
Transparency
and
Open
Government
</a>
and
called
for
recommendations
for
making
the
Federal
government
more
transparent,
participatory,
and
collaborative.
</p>
<p>
As
Valerie
Jarrett,
Senior
Advisor
to
the
President
says
in
the
video
below,
we
are
proud
"to
announce
an
important
next
step
in
this
historic
call
to
action
–
one
that
will
help
us
achieve
a
new
foundation
for
our
government
–
a
foundation
built
on
the
values
of
transparency,
accountability
and
responsibility."
