OMB Paper Aims to Clear Up Bush's Management Agenda
"Last week, the White House budget office posted a paper on one of the Bush administration's web sites that, from its perspective, tried to set the record straight on the president's management agenda for the government.

That agenda has been controversial since it began five years ago -- in part because it promotes contracting out federal work and more rigorous approaches to measuring the performance of employees and programs. It's safe to predict that a number of the "facts" in this new paper will be disputed by federal unions and in some quarters of Congress."
