    Memorandum on Electronic Government's Role in Implementing the
    President's Management Agenda
    July 9, 2002

    Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies

    Subject: Electronic Government's Role in Implementing the President's
    Management Agenda

        My Administration's vision for Government reform is guided by three
    principles. Government should be citizen-centered, results-oriented, and
    market-based. These principles have been woven into the five Government-
    wide reform goals outlined in my Administration's Management Agenda:
    strategic management of human capital, budget and performance
    integration, competitive sourcing, expanded use of the internet and
    computer resources to provide Government services (Electronic-Government
    or E-Government), and improved financial management. Effective
    implementation of E-Government is important in making Government more
    responsive and cost-effective.
        Our success depends on agencies working as a team across traditional
    boundaries to better serve the American people, focusing on citizens
    rather than individual agency needs. I thank agencies who have actively
    engaged in cross-agency teamwork, using E-Government to create more
    cost-effective and efficient ways to serve citizens, and I urge others
    to follow their lead.

                                                              George W. Bush

    Note: This memorandum was released by the Office of the Press Secretary
    on July 10.
