Book Description

The Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 contains provisions which will significantly change the Federal Budget process. These changes will be felt in the DOD planning, programming, and budgeting system, and in turn at the Program Management Office. This study identifies and analyzes relevant sections of the Act as relating to the PMO. The significant findings of the study are that the PMO will have to submit budget estimates much earlier than has been required up to now and budget submissions will have to be more accurate. Planning and estimating will be of great importance, and PMO flexibility will decrease as a result of provisions of the Act.
