    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.).
        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
