One Hundred Third Congress

of the

United States of America

AT THE FIRST SESSION

Begun and held at the City of Washington on Tuesday,

the fifth day of January, one thousand nine hundred and ninety-three

An Act

To provide for the establishment of strategic planning and performance measurement

in the Federal Government, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of

the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Government Performance and

Results Act of 1993’’.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—

(1) waste and inefficiency in Federal programs undermine

the confidence of the American people in the Government and

reduces the Federal Government’s ability to address adequately

vital public needs;

(2) Federal managers are seriously disadvantaged in their

efforts to improve program efficiency and effectiveness, because

of insufficient articulation of program goals and inadequate

information on program performance; and

(3) congressional policymaking, spending decisions and program oversight are seriously handicapped by insufficient attention to program performance and results.

(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this Act are to—

(1) improve the confidence of the American people in the

capability of the Federal Government, by systematically holding

Federal agencies accountable for achieving program results;

(2) initiate program performance reform with a series of

pilot projects in setting program goals, measuring program

performance against those goals, and reporting publicly on their

progress;

(3) improve Federal program effectiveness and public

accountability by promoting a new focus on results, service

quality, and customer satisfaction;

(4) help Federal managers improve service delivery, by

requiring that they plan for meeting program objectives and

by providing them with information about program results

and service quality;

(5) improve congressional decisionmaking by providing

more objective information on achieving statutory objectives,

and on the relative effectiveness and efficiency of Federal programs and spending; and

(6) improve internal management of the Federal Government.
