Subject: Observations on the Department of Defense's Fiscal Year 2000 Performance Plan
As you requested, we have reviewed and evaluated the fiscal year 2000 performance plans for
the 24 Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act agencies that were submitted to Congress as
required by the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (Results Act). Enclosure I
to this letter provides our observations on the fiscal year 2000 performance plan for the
Department of Defense (DOD). Enclosure II lists management challenges we and DOD's
Inspector General identified that the agency faces and the applicable goals and measures in
the fiscal year 2000 annual performance plan.
Our objectives were to (1) assess the usefulness of the department's plan for decisionmaking
and (2) identify the degree of improvement the department's fiscal year 2000 performance
plan represents over the fiscal year 1999 plan. Our observations were generally based on the
requirements of the Results Act, guidance to agencies from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for developing the plan (OMB Circular A-11, Part 2), our previous reports and
knowledge of DOD's operations and programs, and our observations on DOD's fiscal year
1999 performance plan. Our summary report on the CFO Act agencies' fiscal year 2000 plans
contains a complete discussion of our objectives, scope, and methodology.1GAO/NSIAD-99-178R DOD's Fiscal Year 2000 Performance Plan
