Quasi Government

This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. An overview of federally related entities that possess legal characteristics of both the governmental and private sectors. These hybrid org. (e.g., Fannie Mae, Nat. Park Fdn.), referred to in this report as the ¿quasi gov¿t.,¿ have grown in number, size, and importance in recent decades. A brief review of exec. branch organizational history is followed by a description of entities with ties to the exec. branch, although they are not ¿agencies¿ of the U.S. Several categories of quasi governmental entities are discussed: (1) quasi official agencies; (2) gov¿t.-sponsored enterprises; (3) federally funded R&D corp.; (4) agency-related non-profit org.; (5) venture capital funds; (6) congress. chartered non-profit org.; and (7) those of indeterminate character.
