                                   Subject: The Results Act: Observations on the Social Security
                                   Administration's June 1997 Draft Strategic Plan

                                   On June 12, 1997, you asked us to review the draft strategic plans
                                   submitted by the cabinet departments and selected major agencies to
                                   facilitate the consultations between the Congress and the agencies
                                   required by the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (the
                                   Results Act). This letter provides our observations on the draft plan the
                                   Social Security Administration (SSA) submitted to the Congress on June 30,
                                   1997.


Objectives, Scope,                 On the basis of guidance provided in your June 12, 1997, letter, we focused
                                   our review of SSA'S June 30, 1997, draft strategic plan on
and Methodology
                                  SSA'S compliance with the Results Act's requirements and the draft plan's
                                   overall quality,
                                  whether the draft plan reflects SSA's key statutory responsibilities,
                                  how well the draft plan identifies crosscutting functions and plans for
                                   coordination with other departments and agencies,
                                  the extent to which the plan addresses major SSA management challenges
                                   we have identified in our reviews of SSA programs, and
                                  SSA'S capacity to provide reliable information about its performance.
