MEMORANDUM FOR HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND ESTABLISHMENTS
SUBJECT. Productivity Management Program
The President has put special emphasis on programs to
increase productivity in all'sectors of our economy. He
has been particularly concerned that ways be found to
increase productivity in the Federal sector.
Primary responsibility to improve productivity is with each
agency head. It is only through your full support and
personal attention to bringing about improvements that we
can realize the 'resident's goals. I, therefore, urge each
of you personally to insure that every opportunity to
improve your agency's productivity is realized.
In order to carry out these objectives, V want to clarify
changes in central agency assignments made since the OMB
memorandum of July 9, 1973 on productivity and to emphasize
new responsibilities under P.L. 94-136, the National
Productivity and Quality of Working Life Act of 1975.
Under this law, the National Center for Productivity and
Quality of Working Life was established with broad
responsibilities for sustaining productivity growth in
all sectors of the economy. As part of this responsibility,
the Center will assume coordination of the internal
Federal productivity improvement program, and provide
guidance and assistance to agencies in developing
internal productivity improvement and measurement programs.
It will issue the annual productivity data call and
report annually to the President and Congress.
With the assumption of the annual reporting responsibility
by the Center, the annual report heretofore prepared under
the Joint Financial Management Improvement program
(JFMIP) auspices will be discontinued after completion of
the report for FY 1975.

I want to assure the continuity of the productivity activities
which have been carried on by the current participants in.
the joint Federal program. In this regard I ask their
full cooperation and support of the Center.
Jointly with the Center and the Federal agencies, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS.) will assure the validity
and utility of the data, provide an analysis of the data,
provide guidance in developing and improving output
indicators, and compute productivity indices.
Jointly with the Center, the Civil Service Commission will
determine the impact of Federal personnel policies, statutes
and regulations on productivity and quality of working
life, and will provide policy guidance and. technical
assistance to agencies about the personnel management
aspects of productivity.
These assignments are intended to provide renewed emphasis

managers, at every level, take a personal interest in
pursuing every opportunity to improve your productivity.
