Description
Summary:This thesis is based on the premise that the focus of Congress in budgetary matters will determine the focus of line management in formulating and executing the budget. Based on this premise the focus of Congress is assessed in light of current legislative requirements, and hypotheses are developed concerning the impact a change in focus will have on management of the Operations and Maintenance, Navy appropriation. Among the conclusions reached are that Congress will focus more on ends than in the past and will require a quantification of accomplishment in budget justification, and that Navy management is oriented toward the traditional concept of fiduciary control. Based on these conclusions, recommendations are made for developing the capability to meet the expanding desires of Congress for measures of accomplishment.
