On
January
21,
2009,
his
first
full
day
in
office,
the
President
issued
a
Memorandum
on
Transparency
and
Open
Government
and
called
for
recommendations
for
making
the
Federal
government
more
transparent,
participatory,
and
collaborative.
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."

expertise,
and
collaborative
in
how
we
experiment
together
to
use
new
tools
and
techniques
for
developing
open
government
policy.
