Summary:

Much attention today is being focused on improving the delivery of services to the American people by identifying and eliminating inefficiencies in the way the executive branch is organized. This challenge will be made even more complicated by ongoing government downsizing and budgetary constraints. Although budget reductions and eliminating redundancy are driving the reorganization agenda for the moment, hard choices remain to define both the role of government and determine the right organizational structures for delivering services to the public. Recent GAO reports relating agency spending and personnel levels to budget functions (GAO/AIMD-95-115FS and GAO/AIMD-95-116FS) show just how complex the delivery of services has become. The Comptroller General's testimony identifies a number of useful principles that Congress may want to keep in mind as it reorganizes the federal government.
