OBE Circular A-95. GAO has made many recommendations to the Office of Management and Eudget (OB) cn how to improve Government operations in various functional areas. Much has neen done to improve Government operations through the combined efforts of GAO and ORE. However, ORB has not done as much as it could have done to implement some recommendations and, to that extent, has slowed the related benefits. Findings/Conclusions: Many of the recommendations relate to the responsibility of ORB for providing managerial leadership and insuring that agency programs are coordinated with a minimum of duplication and overlap. This includes criticism of the Office for not providing agencies the leadership and guidance for managing Federal advisory committees so that those not making valuable contributions can be abolished. Other recommendations concern automatic data processing matters. For example, OB should require that the costs and benefits of sharing computers be evaluated ty Federal grantor agencics and grantees and that agency uses cf computers be analyzed and standards to guide their develo;ment and operation be established. in the area of personnel management, personnel ceilings do not provide the most effective management control over personnel resources, and OMB should test alternative controls. Fundamertal changes are needed in the Federal uhite-collar pay system. (Author/SC)
