------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Office of Management and Budget evaluates, formulates, and 
coordinates management procedures and program objectives within and 
among Federal departments and agencies. It also controls the 
administration of the Federal budget, while routinely providing the 
President with recommendations regarding budget proposals and relevant 
legislative enactments.

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB), formerly the Bureau of the 
Budget, was established in the Executive Office of the President 
pursuant to Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1939 (5 U.S.C. app.), effective 
July 1, 1939.
    By Executive Order 11541 of July 1, 1970, all functions transferred 
to the President of the United States by part I of Reorganization Plan 
No. 2 of 1970 (5 U.S.C. app.) were delegated to the Director of the 
Office of Management and Budget, to be carried out by the Director under 
the direction of the President. Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1977 (5 
U.S.C. app.) and Executive orders issued pursuant to that plan further 
amended the functions of OMB.
    The Office's primary functions are:
    --to assist the President in developing and maintaining effective 
government by reviewing the organizational structure and management 
procedures of the executive branch to ensure that the intended results 
are achieved;
    --to assist in developing efficient coordinating mechanisms to 
implement Government activities and to expand interagency cooperation;
    --to assist the President in preparing the budget and in formulating 
the Government's fiscal program;
    --to supervise and control the administration of the budget;
    --to assist the President by clearing and coordinating departmental 
advice on proposed legislation and by making recommendations effecting 
Presidential action on legislative enactments, in accordance with past 
practice;
    --to assist in developing regulatory reform proposals and programs 
for paperwork reduction, especially reporting burdens of the public;
    --to assist in considering, clearing, and, where necessary, 
preparing proposed Executive orders and proclamations;
    --to plan and develop information systems that provide the President 
with program performance data;
    --to plan, conduct, and promote evaluation efforts that assist the 
President in assessing program objectives, performance, and efficiency;
    --to keep the President informed of the progress of activities by 
Government agencies with respect to work proposed, initiated, and 
completed, together with the relative timing of work between the several 
agencies of the Government, all to the end that the work programs of the 
several agencies of the executive branch of the Government may be 
coordinated and that the moneys appropriated by the Congress may be 
expended in the most economical manner, barring overlapping and 
duplication of effort; and
    --to improve the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of the 
procurement processes by providing overall direction of procurement 
policies, regulations, procedures, and forms.
