Reform 88 (CM #312)
The Council reviewed Reform 88 2nd quarter progress, in prepara-
tion for briefing the President. Mr. Wright summarized the
status and progress of the Reform 88 projects. The OCA elec-
tronic mail system is in place and will be upgraded in several
months to offer additional capabilities for White House communi-
cation with agencies. The President's Council on Integrity and
Efficiency (PCIE) is reporting savings at the rate of about $5
billion every six months. Financial systems and internal con-
trols are improved, but several agencies are lagging behind. Mr.
Wright alerted the Council to a requirement of the Financial
Integrity Act that agency heads attest in writing to the Presi-
dent and Congress by December 3;1; 1983, that their internal
controls are sound and in compliance with OMB guidelines. OMB
assistance is available to enable agencies to meet this
requirement.
Interest savings from cash management are increasing. Once
lockbox a electronic transfer-systems begin functioning in
1984, several bi lio do larc mnre in savings may a ac va
Credit collections are going up, but so are delinquencies (except
in DOE and HHS). Automated collection centers, now being
installed, will counter this trend. Inspectors General are
generally doing well with computer auditing and audit recoveries.
In many agencies, the ratios of personnel staff to agency staff
are too high (1:68 average).
An upgrade is planned for ADP/telecommunications. About 2,200
publications have been reduced, as have 400 million burden hours
of paperwork. The FTE reduction goal of 75,000 in 1984 is on
target. Federal procurement reform and space management planning
are also progressing.
Mr. Meese noted the significant progress achieved, and pointed
out that this report would be used as a consistent quarterly
reporting format in the future. Discussion ensued on the FTE
reduction with Mr. Meese urging agencies to continue to resist
pressures to hire.

In response to a question from Mr. McNamar about the President's
Private Sector Survey on Cost Control, Mr. Meese stated that
agency views on PPSSCC issues will be communicated and
coordinated through OCA. When views within the Administration
differ, the call on whether to implement or not will be made by
the White House.
Mr. Harper noted that unification of Federal procurement
regulations is nearly accomplished and should be hailed by the
Administration.
Action: CCMA recommended that the Reform 88 report be presented
to the President.
