MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

We in government often are quick to call for reform in other

institutions, but slow to reform ourselves. Yet nowhere today is

modern management more needed than in government itself.

In 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed and the

Congress accepted a reorganization plan that laid the groundwork

for providing managerial assistance for a modern Presidency.

The plan placed the Bureau of the Budget within the Executive

Office of the President. It made available to the President direct

access to important new management instruments. The purpose of the

plan was to improve the administration of the Government - to

ensure that the Government could perform "promptly, effectively,

without waste or lost motion."

Fulfilling that purpose today is far more difficult - and more

important - than it was 30 years ago.

Last April, I created a President's Advisory Council on Executive

Organization and named to it a distinguished group of outstanding

experts headed by Roy L. Ash. I gave the Council a broad charter to

examine ways in which the Executive Branch could be better

organized. I asked it to recommend specific organizational changes

that would make the Executive Branch a more vigorous and more

effective instrument for creating and carrying out the programs

that are needed today. The Council quickly concluded that the place

to begin was in the Executive Office of the President itself. I

agree.

The past 30 years have seen enormous changes in the size,

structure and functions of the Federal Government. The budget has

grown from less than $10 billion to $200 billion. The number of

civilian employees has risen from one million to more than two and

a half million. Four new Cabinet departments have been created,

along with more than a score of independent agencies. Domestic

policy issues have become increasingly complex. The

interrelationships among Government programs have become more

intricate. Yet the organization of the President's policy and

management arms has not kept pace.

Over three decades, the Executive Office of the President has

mushroomed but not by conscious design. In many areas it does not

provide the kind of staff assistance and support the President

needs in order to deal with the problems of government in the

1970s. We confront the 1970s with a staff organization geared in

large measure to the tasks of the 1940s and 1950s.

One result, over the years, has been a tendency to enlarge the

immediate White House staff - that is, the President's personal

staff, as distinct from the institutional structure - to assist

with management functions for which the President is responsible.

This has blurred the distinction between personal staff and

management institutions; it has left key management functions to be

performed only intermittently and some not at all. It has

perpetuated outdated structures.

Another result has been, paradoxically, to inhibit the delegation

of authority to Departments and agencies.

A President whose programs are carefully coordinated, whose

information system keeps him adequately informed, and whose

organizational assignments are plainly set out, can delegate

authority with security and confidence. A President whose office is

deficient in these respects will be inclined, instead, to retain

close control of operating responsibilities which he cannot and

should not handle.

Improving the management processes of the President's own office,

therefore, is a key element in improving the management of the

entire Executive Branch, and in strengthening the authority of its

Departments and agencies. By providing the tools that are needed to

reduce duplication, to monitor performance and to promote greater

efficiency throughout the Executive Branch, this also will enable

us to give the country not only more effective but also more

economical government - which it deserves.

To provide the management tools and policy mechanisms needed for

the 1970s, I am today transmitting to the Congress Reorganization

Plan No. 2 of 1970, prepared in accordance with Chapter 9 of Title

5 of the United States Code.

This plan draws not only on the work of the Ash Council itself,

but also on the work of others that preceded - including the

pioneering Brownlow Committee of 1936, the two Hoover Commissions,

the Rockefeller Committee, and other Presidential task forces.

Essentially, the plan recognizes that two closely connected but

basically separate functions both center in the President's office:

policy determination and executive management. This involves (1)

what government should do, and (2) how it goes about doing it.

My proposed reorganization creates a new entity to deal with each

of these functions:

- It establishes a Domestic Council, to coordinate policy

formulation in the domestic area. This Cabinet group would be

provided with an institutional staff, and to a considerable

degree would be a domestic counterpart to the National

Security Council.

- It establishes an Office of Management and Budget, which would

be the President's principal arm for the exercise of his

managerial functions.

The Domestic Council will be primarily concerned with what we do;

the Office of Management and Budget will be primarily concerned

with how we do it, and how well we do it.

DOMESTIC COUNCIL

The past year's experience with the Council for Urban Affairs has

shown how immensely valuable a Cabinet-level council can be as a

forum for both discussion and action on policy matters that cut

across departmental jurisdictions.

The Domestic Council will be chaired by the President. Under the

plan, its membership will include the Vice President, and the

Secretaries of the Treasury, Interior, Agriculture, Commerce,

Labor, Health, Education and Welfare, Housing and Urban

Development, and Transportation, and the Attorney General. I also

intend to designate as members the Director of the Office of

Economic Opportunity and, while he remains a member of the Cabinet,

the Postmaster General. (Although I continue to hope that the

Congress will adopt my proposal to create, in place of the Post

Office Department, a self-sufficient postal authority.) The

President could add other Executive Branch officials at his

discretion.

The Council will be supported by a staff under an Executive

Director who will also be one of the President's assistants. Like

the National Security Council staff, this staff will work in close

coordination with the President's personal staff but will have its

own institutional identity. By being established on a permanent,

institutional basis, it will be designed to develop and employ the

"institutional memory" so essential if continuity is to be

maintained, and if experience is to play its proper role in the

policy-making process.

There does not now exist an organized, institutionally-staffed

group charged with advising the President on the total range of

domestic policy. The Domestic Council will fill that need. Under

the President's direction, it will also be charged with integrating

the various aspects of domestic policy into a consistent whole.

Among the specific policy functions in which I intend the

Domestic Council to take the lead are these:

- Assessing national needs, collecting information and

developing forecasts, for the purpose of defining national

goals and objectives.

- Identifying alternative ways of achieving these objectives,

and recommending consistent, integrated sets of policy

choices.

- Providing rapid response to Presidential needs for policy

advice on pressing domestic issues.

- Coordinating the establishment of national priorities for the

allocation of available resources.

- Maintaining a continuous review of the conduct of ongoing

programs from a policy standpoint, and proposing reforms as

needed.

Much of the Council's work will be accomplished by temporary, ad

hoc project committees. These might take a variety of forms, such

as task forces, planning groups or advisory bodies. They can be

established with varying degrees of formality, and can be set up to

deal either with broad program areas or with specific problems. The

committees will draw for staff support on Department and agency

experts, supplemented by the Council's own staff and that of the

Office of Management and Budget.

Establishment of the Domestic Council draws on the experience

gained during the past year with the Council for Urban Affairs, the

Cabinet Committee on the Environment and the Council for Rural

Affairs. The principal key to the operation of these Councils has

been the effective functioning of their various subcommittees. The

Councils themselves will be consolidated into the Domestic Council;

Urban, Rural and Environment subcommittees of the Domestic Council

will be strengthened, using access to the Domestic Council staff.

Overall, the Domestic Council will provide the President with a

streamlined, consolidated domestic policy arm, adequately staffed,

and highly flexible in its operation. It also will provide a

structure through which departmental initiatives can be more fully

considered, and expert advice from the Departments and agencies

more fully utilized.

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET

Under the reorganization plan, the technical and formal means by

which the Office of Management and Budget is created is by

re-designating the Bureau of the Budget as the Office of Management

and Budget. The functions currently vested by law in the Bureau, or

in its director, are transferred to the President, with the

provision that he can then re-delegate them.

As soon as the reorganization plan takes effect, I intend to

delegate those statutory functions to the Director of the new

Office of Management and Budget, including those under section 212

of the Budget and Accounting Act, 1921 [31 U.S.C. 1113].

However, creation of the Office of Management and Budget

represents far more than a mere change of name for the Bureau of

the Budget. It represents a basic change in concept and emphasis,

reflecting the broader management needs of the Office of the

President.

The new Office will still perform the key function of assisting

the President in the preparation of the annual Federal budget and

overseeing its execution. It will draw upon the skills and

experience of the extraordinarily able and dedicated career staff

developed by the Bureau of the Budget. But preparation of the

budget as such will no longer be its dominant, overriding concern.

While the budget function remains a vital tool of management, it

will be strengthened by the greater emphasis the new office will

place on fiscal analysis. The budget function is only one of

several important management tools that the President must now

have. He must also have a substantially enhanced institutional

staff capability in other areas of executive management -

particularly in program evaluation and coordination, improvement of

Executive Branch organization, information and management systems,

and development of executive talent. Under this plan, strengthened

capability in these areas will be provided partly through internal

reorganization, and it will also require additional staff

resources.

The new Office of Management and Budget will place much greater

emphasis on the evaluation of program performance: on assessing the

extent to which programs are actually achieving their intended

results, and delivering the intended services to the intended

recipients. This is needed on a continuing basis, not as a one-time

effort. Program evaluation will remain a function of the individual

agencies as it is today. However, a single agency cannot fairly be

expected to judge overall effectiveness in programs that cross

agency lines - and the difference between agency and Presidential

perspectives requires a capacity in the Executive Office to

evaluate program performance whenever appropriate.

The new Office will expand efforts to improve interagency

cooperation in the field. Washington-based coordinators will help

work out interagency problems at the operating level, and assist in

developing efficient coordinating mechanisms throughout the

country. The success of these efforts depends on the experience,

persuasion, and understanding of an Office which will be an

expediter and catalyst. The Office will also respond to requests

from State and local governments for assistance on

intergovernmental programs. It will work closely with the Vice

President and the Office of Intergovernmental Relations.

Improvement of Government organization, information and

management systems will be a major function of the Office of

Management and Budget. It will maintain a continuous review of the

organizational structures and management processes of the Executive

Branch, and recommend needed changes. It will take the lead in

developing new information systems to provide the President with

the performance and other data that he needs but does not now get.

When new programs are launched, it will seek to ensure that they

are not simply forced into or grafted onto existing organizational

structures that may not be appropriate. Resistance to

organizational change is one of the chief obstacles to effective

government; the new Office will seek to ensure that organization

keeps abreast of program needs.

The new Office will also take the lead in devising programs for

the development of career executive talent throughout the

Government. Not the least of the President's needs as Chief

Executive is direct capability in the Executive Office for insuring

that talented executives are used to the full extent of their

abilities. Effective, coordinated efforts for executive manpower

development have been hampered by the lack of a system for

forecasting the needs for executive talent and appraising

leadership potential. Both are crucial to the success of an

enterprise - whether private or public.

The Office of Management and Budget will be charged with advising

the President on the development of new programs to recruit, train,

motivate, deploy, and evaluate the men and women who make up the

top ranks of the civil service, in the broadest sense of that term.

It will not deal with individuals, but will rely on the talented

professionals of the Civil Service Commission and the Departments

and agencies themselves to administer these programs. Under the

leadership of the Office of Management and Budget there will be

joint efforts to see to it that all executive talent is well

utilized wherever it may be needed throughout the Executive Branch,

and to assure that executive training and motivation meet not only

today's needs but those of the years ahead.

Finally, the new Office will continue the Legislative Reference

functions now performed by the Bureau of the Budget, drawing

together agency reactions on all proposed legislation, and helping

develop legislation to carry out the President's program. It also

will continue the Bureau's work of improving and coordinating

Federal statistical services.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CHANGES

The people deserve a more responsive and more effective

Government. The times require it. These changes will help provide

it.

Each reorganization included in the plan which accompanies this

message is necessary to accomplish one or more of the purposes set

forth in Section 901(a) of Title 5 of the United States Code. In

particular, the plan is responsive to Section 901(a)(1), "to

promote the better execution of the laws, the more effective

management of the Executive Branch and of its agencies and

functions, and the expeditious administration of the public

business;" and Section 901(a)(3), "to increase the efficiency of

the operations of the Government to the fullest extent

practicable."

The reorganizations provided for in this plan make necessary the

appointment and compensation of new officers, as specified in

Section 102(c) of the plan. The rates of compensation fixed for

these officers are comparable to those fixed for other officers in

the Executive Branch who have similar responsibilities.

While this plan will result in a modest increase in direct

expenditures, its strengthening of the Executive Office of the

President will bring significant indirect savings, and at the same

time will help ensure that people actually receive the return they

deserve for every dollar the Government spends. The savings will

result from the improved efficiency these changes will provide

throughout the Executive Branch - and also from curtailing the

waste that results when programs simply fail to achieve their

objectives. It is not practical, however, to itemize or aggregate

these indirect expenditure reductions which will result from the

reorganization.

I expect to follow with other reorganization plans, quite

possibly including ones that will affect other activities of the

Executive Office of the President. Our studies are continuing. But

this by itself is a reorganization of major significance, and a key

to the more effective functioning of the entire Executive Branch.

These changes would provide an improved system of policy making

and coordination, a strengthened capacity to perform those

functions that are now the central concerns of the Bureau of the

Budget, and a more effective set of management tools for the

performance of other functions that have been rapidly increasing in

importance.

The reorganization will not only improve the staff resources

available to the President, but will also strengthen the advisory

roles of those members of the Cabinet principally concerned with

domestic affairs. By providing a means of formulating integrated

and systematic recommendations on major domestic policy issues, the

plan serves not only the needs of the President but also the

interests of the Congress.

This reorganization plan is of major importance to the

functioning of modern government. The national interest requires

it. I urge that the Congress allow it to become effective.

Ex. Ord. No. 12615, Nov. 19, 1987, 52 F.R. 44853, provided:

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution

and laws of the United States of America, and in order to

facilitate ongoing efforts to ensure that the Federal Government

acquires needed goods and services in the most economical and

efficient manner, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. The head of each Executive department and agency

shall, to the extent permitted by law:

(a) Ensure that new Federal Government requirements for

commercial activities are provided by private industry, except

where statute or national security requires government performance

or where private industry costs are unreasonable;

(b) Identify by April 29, 1988, in cooperation with the Director

of the Office of Management and Budget all commercial activities

currently performed by government. The department and agency heads

are encouraged to consult with the President's Commission on

Privatization in making such identification;

(c) Schedule, by June 30, 1988, all commercial activities

identified pursuant to subsection (b) for study in accordance with

the procedures of OMB Circular No. A-76, as revised, and the

Supplement thereto, to determine whether they could be performed

more economically by private industry;

(d) Meet the study goals for Fiscal Year 1988 set forth in

"Management of the United States Government, Fiscal Year 1988"; and

thereafter, beginning with Fiscal Year 1989, conduct annual studies

civilian population, until all identified potential commercial

activities have been studied;

(e) Include in each annual budget proposal to the Office of

Management and Budget estimates of expected yearly budget savings

from the privatization of commercial activities projected to be

accomplished following the completion of scheduled studies, unless

an exception is authorized by the Director of the Office of

Management and Budget. These estimates shall be based on analysis

of savings under previous studies and estimated savings to be

achieved from future conversions to contract. A department or

agency proposal may reflect retention of expected first-year

savings as negotiated with the Office of Management and Budget for

use as incentive compensation to reward employees covered by the

studies for their productivity efforts, or for use in other

productivity enhancement projects;

(f) Develop and maintain an effective job placement program for

government employees affected by privatization initiatives and

cooperate fully in interagency placement efforts;

(g) Designate a senior-level official to coordinate the OMB

Circular No. A-76 studies and other privatization efforts; and

(h) Report to the President on progress each quarter, through the

Director of the Office of Management and Budget.

shall, to the extent permitted by law:

Order. Such guidance shall be designed to ensure an equitable cost

comparison of government-operated commercial activities with

private industry performance of the same activities, and to improve

the efficiency in the conduct of studies;

(b) Publish for public review (i) not later than 30 days after

its completion, the inventory of commercial activities identified

pursuant to section 1(b) and the activities scheduled for study by

departments and agencies in Fiscal Year 1988 pursuant to section

1(c); and (ii) not later than 30 days before the start of each

successive fiscal year, the list of activities to be reviewed

during that year pursuant to section 1(d); and

(c) Establish a tracking system to monitor, on a quarterly basis,

progress by departments and agencies in carrying out this Order.

Sec. 3. The Director of the Office of Personnel Management, in

consultation with the heads of other Executive departments and

agencies, shall review and revise, as necessary and to the extent

permitted by law, personnel policies and regulations in order (a)

to ensure that government managers have the flexibility to organize

in the most effective and efficient manner to achieve levels of

productivity comparable with those of private industry, and (b) to

reduce any adverse effects of productivity improvements on

employees.

Sec. 4. For purposes of this Order, the terms "commercial

activity," "conversion to contract," and "cost comparison" shall

have the meanings set forth in OMB Circular No. A-76, as revised.

Sec. 5. Nothing in this Order shall be construed to confer a

private right of action on any person, or to add in any way to

EX. ORD. NO. 12803. INFRASTRUCTURE PRIVATIZATION

Ex. Ord. No. 12803, Apr. 30, 1992, 57 F.R. 19063, provided:

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution

and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to

ensure that the United States achieves the most beneficial economic

use of its resources, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Definitions. For purposes of this order:

(a) "Privatization" means the disposition or transfer of an

infrastructure asset, such as by sale or by long-term lease, from a

State or local government to a private party.

(b) "Infrastructure asset" means any asset financed in whole or

in part by the Federal Government and needed for the functioning of

the economy. Examples of such assets include, but are not limited

to: roads, tunnels, bridges, electricity supply facilities, mass

transit, rail transportation, airports, ports, waterways, water

supply facilities, recycling and wastewater treatment facilities,

solid waste disposal facilities, housing, schools, prisons, and

hospitals.

(c) "Originally authorized purposes" means the general objectives

of the original grant program; however, the term is not intended to

include every condition required for a grantee to have obtained the

original grant.

(d) "Transfer price" means: (i) the amount paid or to be paid by

a private party for an infrastructure asset, if the asset is

transferred as a result of competitive bidding; or (ii) the

appraised value of an infrastructure asset, as determined by the

head of the executive department or agency and the Director of the

Office of Management and Budget, if the asset is not transferred as

a result of competitive bidding.

(e) "State and local governments" means the government of any

State of the United States, the District of Columbia, any

commonwealth, territory, or possession of the United States, and

any county, municipality, city, town, township, local public

authority, school district, special district, intrastate district,

regional or interstate governmental entity, council of governments,

and any agency or instrumentality of a local government, and any

federally recognized Indian Tribe.

Sec. 2. Fundamental Principles. Executive departments and

agencies shall be guided by the following objectives and

principles: (a) Adequate and well-maintained infrastructure is

critical to economic growth. Consistent with the principles of

federalism enumerated in Executive Order No. 12612 [formerly set

out under section 601 of Title 5, Government Organization and

Employees], and in order to allow the private sector to provide for

infrastructure modernization and expansion, State and local

governments should have greater freedom to privatize infrastructure

assets.

(b) Private enterprise and competitively driven improvements are

the foundation of our Nation's economy and economic growth. Federal

financing of infrastructure assets should not act as a barrier to

the achievement of economic efficiencies through additional private

market financing or competitive practices, or both.

(c) State and local governments are in the best position to

assess and respond to local needs. State and local governments

should, subject to assuring continued compliance with Federal

requirements that public use be on reasonable and nondiscriminatory

terms, have maximum possible freedom to make decisions concerning

the maintenance and disposition of their federally financed

infrastructure assets.

(d) User fees are generally more efficient than general taxes as

a means to support infrastructure assets. Privatization

transactions should be structured so as not to result in

unreasonable increases in charges to users.

Sec. 3. Privatization Initiative. To the extent permitted by law,

the head of each executive department and agency shall undertake

the following actions:

(a) Review those procedures affecting the management and

disposition of federally financed infrastructure assets owned by

State and local governments and modify those procedures to

encourage appropriate privatization of such assets consistent with

this order;

(b) Assist State and local governments in their efforts to

advance the objectives of this order; and

(c) Approve State and local governments' requests to privatize

infrastructure assets, consistent with the criteria in section 4 of

this order and, where necessary, grant exceptions to the

disposition requirements of the "Uniform Administrative

Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and

Local Governments" common rule, or other relevant rules or

regulations, for infrastructure assets; provided that the transfer

price shall be distributed, as paid, in the following manner: (i)

State and local governments shall first recoup in full the

unadjusted dollar amount of their portion of total project costs

(including any transaction and fix-up costs they incur) associated

with the infrastructure asset involved; (ii) if proceeds remain,

then the Federal Government shall recoup in full the amount of

Federal grant awards associated with the infrastructure asset, less

the applicable share of accumulated depreciation on such asset

(calculated using the Internal Revenue Service accelerated

depreciation schedule for the categories of assets in question);

and (iii) finally, the State and local governments shall keep any

remaining proceeds.

Sec. 4. Criteria. To the extent permitted by law, the head of an

executive department or agency shall approve a request in

order only for investment in additional infrastructure assets

(after public notice of the proposed investment), or for debt or

tax reduction; and

(b) Demonstrates that a market mechanism, legally enforceable

agreement, or regulatory mechanism will ensure that: (i) the

infrastructure asset or assets will continue to be used for their

originally authorized purposes, as long as needed for those

purposes, even if the purchaser becomes insolvent or is otherwise

hindered from fulfilling the originally authorized purposes; and

(ii) user charges will be consistent with any current Federal

conditions that protect users and the public by limiting the

charges.

Executive Order Nos. 12291 and 12498 [formerly set out under

section 601 of Title 5, Government Organization and Employees] and

OMB Circular No. A-19, the Office of Management and Budget, to the

extent permitted by law and consistent with the provisions of those

authorities, shall take action to ensure that the policies of the

executive department and agencies are consistent with the

principles, criteria, and requirements of this order. The Office of

Management and Budget shall review the results of implementing this

order and report thereon to the President 1 year after the date of

this order.

Sec. 6. Preservation of Existing Authority. Nothing in this order

is in any way intended to limit any existing authority of the heads

of executive departments and agencies to approve privatization

proposals that are otherwise consistent with law.

Sec. 7. Judicial Review. This order is intended only to improve

THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

Ex. Ord. No. 12837, Feb. 10, 1993, 58 F.R. 8205, provided:

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution

and the laws of the United States of America, including the Budget

EX. ORD. NO. 12862. SETTING CUSTOMER SERVICE STANDARDS

Ex. Ord. No. 12862, Sept. 11, 1993, 58 F.R. 48257, provided:

Putting people first means ensuring that the Federal Government

provides the highest quality service possible to the American

people. Public officials must embark upon a revolution within the

Federal Government to change the way it does business. This will

require continual reform of the executive branch's management

practices and operations to provide service to the public that

matches or exceeds the best service available in the private

sector.

NOW, THEREFORE, to establish and implement customer service

standards to guide the operations of the executive branch, and by

the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the

laws of the United States, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. Customer Service Standards. In order to carry out the

principles of the National Performance Review, the Federal

Government must be customer-driven. The standard of quality for

services provided to the public shall be: Customer service equal to

the best in business. For the purposes of this order, "customer"

shall mean an individual or entity who is directly served by a

department or agency. "Best in business" shall mean the highest

quality of service delivered to customers by private organizations

providing a comparable or analogous service.

All executive departments and agencies (hereinafter referred to

collectively as "agency" or "agencies") that provide significant

services directly to the public shall provide those services in a

manner that seeks to meet the customer service standard established

herein and shall take the following actions:

(a) identify the customers who are, or should be, served by the

agency;

(b) survey customers to determine the kind and quality of

services they want and their level of satisfaction with existing

services;

(c) post service standards and measure results against them;

(d) benchmark customer service performance against the best in

business;

(e) survey front-line employees on barriers to, and ideas for,

matching the best in business;

(f) provide customers with choices in both the sources of service

and the means of delivery;

(g) make information, services, and complaint systems easily

accessible; and

(h) provide means to address customer complaints.

Sec. 2. Report on Customer Service Surveys. By March 8, 1994,

each agency subject to this order shall report on its customer

surveys to the President. As information about customer

satisfaction becomes available, each agency shall use that

information in judging the performance of agency management and in

making resource allocations.

Sec. 3. Customer Service Plans. By September 8, 1994, each agency

subject to this order shall publish a customer service plan that

can be readily understood by its customers. The plan shall include

customer service standards and describe future plans for customer

surveys. It also shall identify the private and public sector

standards that the agency used to benchmark its performance against

the best in business. In connection with the plan, each agency is

encouraged to provide training resources for programs needed by

employees who directly serve customers and by managers making use

of customer survey information to promote the principles and

objectives contained herein.

Sec. 4. Independent Agencies. Independent agencies are requested

to adhere to this order.

Sec. 5. Judicial Review. This order is for the internal

management of the executive branch and does not create any right or

benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable by a party against

the United States, its agencies or instrumentalities, its officers

or employees, or any other person.

William J. Clinton.

EX. ORD. NO. 12893. PRINCIPLES FOR FEDERAL INFRASTRUCTURE

INVESTMENTS

Ex. Ord. No. 12893, Jan. 26, 1994, 59 F.R. 4233, provided:

A well-functioning infrastructure is vital to sustained economic

growth, to the quality of life in our communities, and to the

protection of our environment and natural resources. To develop and

maintain its infrastructure facilities, our Nation relies heavily

on investments by the Federal Government.

Our Nation will achieve the greatest benefits from its

infrastructure facilities if it invests wisely and continually

improves the quality and performance of its infrastructure

programs. Therefore, by the authority vested in me as President by

the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it

is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Scope. The principles and plans referred to in this

order shall apply to Federal spending for infrastructure programs.

For the purposes of this order, Federal spending for infrastructure

programs shall include direct spending and grants for

transportation, water resources, energy, and environmental

protection.

Sec. 2. Principles of Federal Infrastructure Investment.

Each executive department and agency with infrastructure

responsibilities (hereinafter referred to collectively as

"agencies") shall develop and implement plans for infrastructure

investment and management consistent with the following principles:

(a) Systematic Analysis of Expected Benefits and Costs.

Infrastructure investments shall be based on systematic analysis of

expected benefits and costs, including both quantitative and

qualitative measures, in accordance with the following:

(1) Benefits and costs should be quantified and monetized to

the maximum extent practicable. All types of benefits and costs,

both market and nonmarket, should be considered. To the extent

that environmental and other nonmarket benefits and costs can be

quantified, they shall be given the same weight as quantifiable

market benefits and costs.

(2) Benefits and costs should be measured and appropriately

discounted over the full life cycle of each project. Such

analysis will enable informed tradeoffs among capital outlays,

operating and maintenance costs, and nonmonetary costs borne by

the public.

(3) When the amount and timing of important benefits and costs

are uncertain, analyses shall recognize the uncertainty and

address it through appropriate quantitative and qualitative

assessments.

(4) Analyses shall compare a comprehensive set of options that

include, among other things, managing demand, repairing

facilities, and expanding facilities.

(5) Analyses should consider not only quantifiable measures of

benefits and costs, but also qualitative measures reflecting

values that are not readily quantified.

(b) Efficient Management. Infrastructure shall be managed

efficiently in accordance with the following:

(1) The efficient use of infrastructure depends not only on

physical design features, but also on operational practices. To

improve these practices, agencies should conduct periodic reviews

of the operation and maintenance of existing facilities.

(2) Agencies should use these reviews to consider a variety of

management practices that can improve the return from

infrastructure investments. Examples include contracting

practices that reward quality and innovation, and design

standards that incorporate new technologies and construction

techniques.

(3) Agencies also should use these reviews to identify the

demand for different levels of infrastructure services. Since

efficient levels of service can often best be achieved by

properly pricing infrastructure, the Federal Government - through

its direct investments, grants, and regulations - should promote

consideration of market-based mechanisms for managing

infrastructure.

(c) Private Sector Participation. Agencies shall seek private

sector participation in infrastructure investment and management.

Innovative public-private initiatives can bring about greater

private sector participation in the ownership, financing,

construction, and operation of the infrastructure programs referred

to in section 1 of this order. Consistent with the public interest,

agencies should work with State and local entities to minimize

legal and regulatory barriers to private sector participation in

the provision of infrastructure facilities and services.

(d) Encouragement of More Effective State and Local Programs. To

promote the efficient use of Federal infrastructure funds, agencies

should encourage the State and local recipients of Federal grants

to implement planning and information management systems that

support the principles set forth in section 2(a) through (c) of

this order. In turn, the Federal Government should use the

information from the State and local recipients' management systems

to conduct the system-level reviews of the Federal Government's

infrastructure programs that are required by this order.

Sec. 3. Submission of Plans. Agencies shall submit initial plans

to implement these principles to the Director of the Office of

Management and Budget ("OMB") by March 15, 1994. Agency plans shall

list the actions that will be taken to provide the data and

analysis necessary for supporting infrastructure-related proposals

in future budget submissions. Agency implementation plans should be

consistent with OMB Circular A-94 that outlines the analytical

methods required under the principles set forth in section 2 of

this order.

Sec. 4. Application to Budget Submissions. Beginning with the

fiscal year 1996 budget submission to OMB, each agency should use

these principles to justify major infrastructure investment and

grant programs. Major programs are defined as those programs with

annual budgetary resources in excess of $50 million.

Sec. 5. Application to Legislative Proposals. Beginning March 15,

1994, agencies shall employ the principles set forth in section 2

of this order and, at the request of OMB, shall provide supporting

analyses when requesting OMB clearance for legislative proposals

that would authorize or reauthorize infrastructure programs.

Sec. 6. Guidance. The Office of Management and Budget shall

provide guidance to the agencies on the implementation of this

order.

Sec. 7. Judicial Review. This order is intended only to improve

the internal management of the executive branch and does not create

any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable by a

party against the United States, its agencies or instrumentalities,

its officers or employees, or any other person.

William J. Clinton.

Memorandum of President of the United States, July 11, 2001, 66

F.R. 37105, provided:

Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies

Throughout the campaign and in my Budget, I have called for

"active, but limited" Government: one that empowers States, cities,

and citizens to make decisions; ensures results through

accountability; and promotes innovation through competition. Thus,

if reform is to help the Federal Government adapt to a rapidly

changing world, its primary objectives must be a Government that

is:

-- Citizen-centered - not bureaucracy centered;

-- Results-oriented - not process-oriented; and

-- Market-based - actively promoting, not stifling, innovation

and competition.

In order to establish and implement Government reform throughout

the executive branch, I hereby direct the following:

1. Establish Chief Operating Officers.

Each agency head shall designate a Chief Operating Officer, who

shall be the senior official with agency-wide authority on behalf

of the Secretary or agency head. The Chief Operating Officer, the

equivalent of the Deputy Secretary, shall report directly to the

agency head and shall be responsible for:

(a) implementing the President's and agency head's goals and

the agency's mission;

(b) providing overall organization management to improve agency

performance;

(c) assisting the agency head in promoting Government reform,

developing strategic plans, and measuring results; and

and budgeting, expand competitive sourcing, strengthen their

workforce, improve financial management, advance e-government,

apply information policy and technology policies, and other

Government-wide management reforms.

2. Implement Additional Agency Reforms.

Each agency head shall identify and implement additional changes

within the agency that will promote the principles of government

reform.

3. Establishment of President's Management Council.

(c) The following central management agency representatives:

(1) Director of the Office of Personnel Management;

(2) Administrator of General Services;

(d) Chief Operating Officers of the following agencies:

Government throughout the executive branch and, as necessary,

resolving specific interagency management issues;

(c) ensuring the adoption of new management practices in

agencies throughout the executive branch; and

(d) identifying examples of, and providing mechanisms for,

interagency exchange of information about best management

practices.

The Council shall seek advice and information as appropriate from

nonmember Federal agencies, particularly smaller agencies. The

Council shall also consider the management reform experience of

corporations, nonprofit organizations, State and local governments,
