Observations on the Department of State's Fiscal Year 1999 Performance Report and Fiscal Year 2001 Performance Plan
Abstract
As you requested, we have reviewed the fiscal year 1999 performance reports and fiscal year 2001 performance plans of the 24 Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act agencies required by the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). In essence, under GPRA annual performance plans are to establish performance goals and measures covering a given fiscal year and provide direct linkage between an agency's longer-term goals and day-to-day activities. Annual performance reports are to subsequently report on the degree to which those performance goals were met. In this report, we provide our observations on State's fiscal year 1999 actual and fiscal year 2001 planned performance on the key outcomes you asked us to examine and State's major management challenges. The key outcomes are (1) eliminated threats from weapons of mass destruction, (2) expanded foreign markets for U.S. products and services, (3) enhanced ability of American citizens to travel and live abroad securely, (4) reduced international crime and availability and/or use of illegal drugs, and (5) reduced international terrorism. Enclosures I and II provide further detail on these issues.
