Premise: We selected the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) because they used a set of balanced expectations to manage the performance of all or a significant portion of their senior executives prior to the OPM requirement.

Hypothesis: The  BLM is very well run from the top on down and is used as an example of what the standards should be.
Relation: neutral
