Bowsher, Charles A.

U.S. General Accounting Office (Washington, DC)

Published 1993. 11 pages.

The Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 would require a group of pilot agencies to develop strategic plans, set agreed-upon goals, and measure their progress toward those goals. It would also provide greater managerial flexibility to some of these agencies through waivers of certain administrative rules. Eventually, the bill calls for pilot tests to assess the feasibility of performance budgeting. Accession Number: 011052
