Sec. 2381a. Strengthened management practices


(a) Declaration of beliefs

    The Congress believes that United States foreign aid funds could be 
utilized more effectively by the application of advanced management 
decisionmaking, information and analysis techniques such as systems 
analysis, automatic data processing, benefit-cost studies, and 
information retrieval.

(b) Management system; establishment; scope

    To meet this need, the President shall establish a management system 
that includes: the definition of objectives and programs for United 
States foreign assistance; the development of quantitative indicators of 
progress toward these objectives; the orderly consideration of 
alternative means for accomplishing such objectives; and the adoption of 
methods for comparing actual results of programs and projects with those 
anticipated when they were undertaken. The system should provide 
information to the agency and to Congress that relates agency resources, 
expenditures, and budget projections to such objectives and results in 
order to assist in the evaluation of program performance, the review of 
budgetary requests, and the setting of program priorities.
