handle is hein.gao/gaobaclri0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A f) United States 0A General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 Resources, Community, and Economic Development Division B-277902 September 2, 1997 The Honorable Federico Pefia The Secretary of Energy Subject: Results Act: Observations on the Department of Energy's August 15, 1997, Draft Strategic Plan Dear Mr. Secretary: In July 1997, you requested our support for the Department's goal of ensuring the success of the strategic plan you are developing under the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993. In response to a congressional request, we provided our assessment of your June 16, 1997, plan in July 1997.' Following this assessment, the Department revised its plan, and your Office of Strategic Planning, Budget and Program Evaluation asked us to comment on the August 15, 1997, revision. Overall, we believe that the current draft plan is much improved over the June 16, 1997, draft. Specifically, the revised draft now includes all six elements required by the Government Performance and Results Act. However, we are still concerned that some of the strategies and many of the measures do not appear to be results-oriented. Enclosures I through III highlight some selected aspects of three of the Department's four business lines and the business lines' related objectives, strategies, and measures. These comments focus on issues on which we have previously reported. Enclosure I focuses on our concerns about the Department's efforts to reduce the vulnerability of the U.S. economy from disruptions in oil supplies. Enclosure II focuses on our concerns about the Department's efforts to strengthen nuclear nonproliferation efforts and improve international nuclear safety. Enclosure Il focuses on our concerns 'Results Act: Observations on the Department of Energy's Draft Strategic Plan (GAO/RCED-97-199R, July 11, 1997).
