Issued in September 1993, the National Performance Review (NPR)--the administration's attempt to "reinvent government"--contains 384 major recommendations covering 27 federal agencies and 14 government systems, such as procurement, personnel, and budgeting. Some progress has been made in implementing many of the NPR recommendations since September 1993, but few have been fully implemented and a number of measures will take years. GAO generally agrees with the thrust of most of the recommendations and supports their continued implementation. However, several steps must be taken to achieve budgetary savings and improve government management. GAO still believes that NPR's success hinges on a legislative-executive partnership for action, attention to agencies' capacities, and sustained political and career leadership. GAO also believes that government "reinvention" requires the executive branch and Congress to shift the focus of government management and accountability from an emphasis on inputs, outputs, and processes to an emphasis on outcomes and results. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-OCG-95-1/html/GAOREPORTS-OCG-95-1.htm GAO/OCG-95-1 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-OCG-95-1 Letter Report GAO/OCG-95-1; Management Reform: Implementation of the National Performance Review's Recommendations; Accountability Oversight by Congress Financial management Federal agencies General management reviews Productivity Total quality management Public administration NAFTA GMR TQM National Health Care Reform Initiative Clinton Health Care Plan Peace, Prosperity, and Democracy Act of 1994 OMB 2000 National Performance Review Government Reform and Savings Act of 1993 Water Resources Development Act of 1994 Government Downsizing, Performance and Accountability Act of 1994 Department of Energy Reform and Savings Act of 1993 Bonneville Power Administration Refinancing Act Federal Cogeneration Act of 1993 North American Free Trade Agreement Community Development, Banking, and Financial Institutions Act of 1993 Local Empowerment and Flexibility Act of 1994 Information Technology Applications Act of 1994 Health Security Act Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1994 Medical Device User Fee Act of 1994 Housing and Community Development Act of 1994 Housing Choice and Community Investment Act of 1994 California Desert Protection Act Reemployment Act of 1994 Comprehensive Occupational Safety and Health Reform Act Competitiveness Act of 1994 (National) International Broadcasting Act of 1994 Board of Veterans Appeals Administrative Procedures Improvement Act of 1994 Report Elimination and Modification Act of 1994 (Federal) Legislative Reorganization Act of 1994 Expedited Rescissions Act Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act Federal Mandate, Reduction, Reform, and Budget Act of 1993 Federal Mandates Relief Act of 1993 Community Regulatory Relief Act Title 5 Section 552 Title 5 Section 6323 Title 5 Section 8102(a) Title 5 Section 8116 Title 5 Chapter 81 5 U.S.C. 552 5 U.S.C. 6323 5 U.S.C. 8102(a) 5 U.S.C. 8116 5 U.S.C.
