One Hundred Third Congress
of the
United States of America
AT T H E F I R S T S E S S I O N
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.
