Government Efficiency, Effectiveness, and Performance Improvement Act of 2010

Date: June 23, 2010
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Government Operations

* Mr. WELCH. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of a practical, common sense bill: The Efficiency, Effectiveness and Performance Improvement Act.

* This legislation will cut government waste by forcing every Federal agency to create a rigorous performance evaluation plan--and live by it.

* Under this legislation agency heads will conduct evaluations of every program within their purview and report on goals to increase performance objectives.

* The OMB Director will report to Congress on agency goals and suggested methods to improve program performance.

* By forcing our agencies to create and adhere to strategic planning we will increase government efficiency and effectiveness.

* As our deficit continues to grow, we must constantly strive to find ways--small and large--to get rid of government waste and inefficiency.

* This bill does just that. I thank my colleague from Texas for introducing it, and I encourage my colleagues to support it.
