Abstract

This report discusses the Freedom to Manage legislative proposal transmitted by the President to the Congress. GAO has sought to assist the Congress and the executive branch in considering the actions needed to support the transition to a more high performing, results-oriented, and accountable federal government. It is crucial for both the Congress and the executive branch to work together in a constructive manner on good government issues that are designed to help achieve continuous improvement of the federal government. At the same time, the Congress has authorization, appropriation, and oversight roles that must be considered in connection with any related matters.
