SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. 
31 USC 1115 
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that— 
"°^ 
(1) waste and inefficiency in Federal programs undermine 
the confidence of the American people in the Grovernment and 
reduces the Federal Grovemment s ability to address adequately 
vital pubUc 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 pro-
gram oversight are seriously handicapped by insufficient atten-
tion 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 accoimtable 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 pubHcly on their 
progress; 
(3) improve Federal program effectiveness and public 
accountability by promoting a new focus on results, service 
qutdity, and customer satisfaction; 
(4) help Federal managers improve service delivery, by 
requiring that they plan for meeting program objectives and 
by providing them vdth 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 pro-
grams and spending; and 
(6) improve internal management of the Federal Govern-
ment.
