MEMORANDUM FOR HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMEITS AND AGENCIES
FROM: JOSEPH R. WRIGHT, JR
ACTING DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: Department of Just' a Management and
Productivity Imp vement Program
Attached is a memo that Ed Meese sent to his key managers in the
Department of Justice which follows up on the President's
Productivity Improvement Program as part of "Reform 88. I think
it is particularly well done and demonstrates one Cabinet
Officer's follow-up to this important program. Naturally, every
head of an agency has to pursue these Presidential initiatives in
his or her own style as appropriate to the agency and I hope that
you personally will make this a priority in improving the
management of your agency -- and as a result the Federal
Government.
If OMB can give you any assistance in the follow-up to make
productivity improvement a reality in the government -- please
let me know. I would also appreciate receiving a copy of your
internal correspondence in this program so I can share it with
other Agency Heads.

MEMORANDUM TO: Heads of Department of Justice Components
FROM: EDWIN MEESE III
Attorney General
SUBJECT: Department of Justice Management and
Productivity Improvement Program
During the past five years, the Department of Justice has been
involved in a number of activities supporting the President's
efforts to improve the management and productivity of the Federal
Government. These activities have included participating in the
President's Reform '88 Program, implementing recommendations of
the Grace Commission, and conducting initiatives stemming from
the office of management and Budget's Management Review.
As the President continues to stress the importance of improving
Government efficiency and cost effectiveness, I believe it is an
opportune time for the Department to focus its various management
and productivity efforts into a single, coordinated Departmentwide
development of a Department of Justice Management and Productivity
Improvement Program. As part of this program, I am announcing
seven broad policy goals that I want addressed in your planning,
budgeting, and operational activities:
1. Prevent fraud, waste, and abuse in the Department
of Justice.
2. Control the costs of administering Department of
Justice programs and operations.
3. Strengthen the central direction, coordination, and
oversight in the Department of Justice.
4. Improve productivity in the Department of Justice
by 20% in selected functions by 1992.

Memorandum
Subject
Management and Productivity Improvement
Program: Information and Request for
Action
16 SEP 1985
Heads of Department of W. Lawrence Wallace
Justice Components Assistant Attorney General
for Administration
In his memorandum to you of September 16, 1985, the Attorney
General announced a Department of Justice Management and
Productivity' Improvement Program (the Program) that will
involve all Department components in planning and carrying
out initiatives consistent with the President's Management
Improvement Program (Reform '88) and the broad policy goals of
the Attorney General. The Attorney General directed me to
provide you with information and guidance for participating
in the development of objectives and action strategies that
will comprise a long-range plan for this new Program. General
information about the Program and specific requests for action
by you and your organization are contained herein.
INFORMATION
The establishment of the Program represents this agency's
response to the President's call for a comprehensive and
systematic approach to the identification and resolution of
administrative and management problems within the Federal
Government. The overall purpose of the Department's Program is
to promote, achieve, and ensure enhanced management and adminis-
tration in support of the Department's mission. The Program is
intended to ensure sustained management and productivity
improvements consistent with the Attorney General's policy goals.
It is also designed to meet the demands of the Attorney General
for:
? a systematic, centralized process for inte-
grating office of Management and Budget (OMB)
and Department management and budget review
requirements;
? mechanisms and timetables through which Department
managers can report on their accomplishments and
share ideas and experiences on management and
productivity initiatives.

More importantly, as a followup to the interim plan, further
development of the Department's five-year management and
productivity improvement plan will occur prior to and during the
Department's FY 1988 combined management and budget review process --
which begins with the Department's Call in January or February of
1986 and ends with the submission of the President's FY 1988
budget to Congress in January 1987.
REQUEST FOR ACTION
To assist in this effort, please identify a senior management
official as your personal representative to work closely with me
and my staff in further developing the Department's Program,
beginning with the preparation of the interim plan. You should
select this individual and notify me of.his/her selection by
September 18, 1985. On Friday, September 20, I will convene a
meeting with these individuals ("management forum") with the
following agenda: (1) to finalize the Department's interim plan
submission which is due to OMB by early October, and (2) to
develop policies and procedures in preparation for the Department's
long-term planning process.
The meeting will be held in Conference Room B of the Main Building.
It will start at 2:00 PM and should last no longer than one hour.
Please direct your management and productivity designee to review
the attached guidance materials and to begin developing ideas for
initiatives to be incorporated into the plan. Guidance and
formats for reporting accomplishments and initiatives are included,
along with sample formats and a proposed planning framework.
If you have any questions or wish to discuss the Department's
long-range planning process further, please do not hesitate to
call me personally, or contact Robert Diegelman, Director of the
Policy and Planning Office, on 633-1843. Thank you for your
cooperation in this important planning effort.
