PROGRAM BUDGETING: POTENTIAL DIFFICULTIES AND WAYS OF ALLEVIATING THEM,
Abstract
This memorandum represents one chapter in a forthcoming book, 'Program Budgeting: Program Analysis and the Federal Budget', which is now being written. The book will focus primarily on the major issues involved in determining specific national program goals and the analytical approach necessary to facilitate decisionmaking on these issues. Its purpose is to help improve the understanding, and accelerate the application, of the principles of program budgeting. The objectives in view are: (1) to make the budget a more useful and precise instrument for planning, appropriation, administration, and control within the federal establishment; (2) to contribute to broader public understanding of the allocation and use of federal funds; and (3) to facilitate economic analysis, forecasting, and planning in the private sector.
