EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20503
December 3, 1985
85- 4138/1
SUBJECT: Information for a Report on the Status of Recommenda-
tions made by the President's Private Sector Survey on
Cost Control (PPSSCC)
1. Purpose. This Bulletin provides instructions for the
submission of information on the status of the recommendations
made by the President's Private Sector Survey on Cost Control
(also known as the "Grace Commission").
The information will be used to prepare a report on Grace
Commission results that will be included in the Management Report
to the Congress, which will accompany the President's 1987
Budget.
2. Background. Over the past two years, OMB, affected
departments and agencies, and the White House's Office of Cabinet
Affairs (OCA) have been reviewing the recommendations in the 47
reports issued by the PPSSCC. The OCA reviews are now complete
and a final report was given to the President by the Domestic
Policy Council on October 28, 1985.
The President, in a Rose Garden ceremony, stated that 83% of
PPSSCC's 2,478 recommendations were accepted and are being
implemented, were proposed for implementation in the 1986 Budget
or would be proposed for implementation in the 1987 Budget. He
stated that the Administration would continue to look at the
remaining recommendations listed as "deferred" and would attempt
to adopt some of them in the future. Since the OCA review has
been completed, the President noted that OMB would henceforth
take over the monitoring of the status of all the recommendations
and would issue periodic reports on progress.
Section 2903 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 required that
the President transmit a report with the 1986 Budget on the
status of the cost savings that had resulted or would result from
management improvement recommendations. The Management Report
that accompanied the 1986 Budget included an Appendix B, which
prov;led a report on the recou,r..ands.tions of the Grace Commission.
The information gathered under this Bulletin will be used to
provide the first of the periodic reports the President directed
be made. The report will probably be similar in nature to the/-_11
report of last year and will be part of the FY 1987. Management/ r
Report. Information is needed to reflect changes in the statute
L-799
ce- L- 3004
progress toward implementation of the recommendations, and
revised outlay savings estimates.
3. Responsibilities. Attachment A contains a listing of: issues
and sub-Issues for which each agency is responsible. Where an
issue affects more than one agency and the individual agencies
affected are known, the issue is listed under each affected
agency. Where an issue affects multiple agencies but no
determination of individual agency effect has been made, the
issue is >listed under a lead agency and that agency is
responsible for reporting on a government-wide basis for that
issue.
4. Material required. Two copies of a PPSSC.C Status Report
Works es et for each PPSSCC issue for which each agency is
responsible will be provided by 0MB under a separate cover.
These worksheets contain information centrally available on each

writing in new information or revising information provided on
the worksheet.
Substitute worksheets in formats different from the worksheets
provided will not be accepted. Specific instructions for pro-
viding the required information are contained in Attachment B.

Instructions on Completing or Revising the PPSSCC
S a us Report Worms ee s
Each PPSSCC Status Report Worksheet provided by OMB will be in
the format of the attached exhibit:
A. The first section of the PPSSCC Status Report Worksheet will
contain information identifying the issue or sub-issue to
which the worksheet pertains. AGENCIES SHOULD NOT REVISE THE
INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OMB. The following is an explanation
of the information provided by OMB on the worksheet.
TASK FORCE REPORT. The title of the PPSSCC task force report
will be provided by OMB.
RESPONSIBLE AGENCY. The name of the agency responsible for
submitting information to OMB on the issue or sub-issue
covered by the worksheet will be specified by OMB.
ISSUE. The PPSSCC made 2478 recommendations associated with
784 explicit issues. A separate worksheet will be provided:
-- at the "issue" level when a single decision is made for
all the recommendations within an issue; or
-- at the sub-issue level when a single decision is made for
a single recommendation or group of recommendations that
is significantly different from decisions made for other
recommendations within the issue.
No worksheets will be provided for issues that have been
identified by the PPSSCC as duplicative or for compendium
issues.
Worksheets will be provided for all other issues and
sub-issues, including those previously reported as
implemented in 1985 or prior budgets, and those where no
savings were identified by the PPSSCC.
Issues and sub-issues will be identified using the same 9
character numbering system used in the OMB Bulletin No.
84-18 update last year, the 1986 Management Report to
Congress, and the more recent OCA reviews. The 9
character numbering system is comprised of a 2-6 character
report identifier and preceded by a dash (-), a 2 digit
issue number, and, if necessary, a one character sub-issue
identifier (e.g. "TREAS 13", "HUD 03", "ADP 06B").
3-year PPSSCC Issue Total, Dollar Savings ($M). The 3-year
unduplicated savings claimed by the PPSSCC in millions of
dollars for the issue or sub-issue will be provided by OMB.
Recommendations in this issue. The number of the specific
recommendations covered by this worksheet will be provided.
Two numbers separated by a dash (e.g. 1-5) indicates a range
of covered recommendations. Numbers separated by a comma
(e.g. 1,2) indicate specific recommendations.
AGENCIES SHOULD FILL IN THE INFORMATION SPECIFIED BELOW.

B. ISSUE STATUS.
The second section of the PPSSCC Status Report Worksheet
provides the status to which the issue has been assigned.
Please, review the assigned category to ensure that the
category checked on the worksheet is correct.
All issues must be assigned to one, and only one of the
seven categories in accordance witti-"the following guidelines:
1. In 1985 or prior buffets. This group includes all: issues
accepted before and during the period that the PPSSCC was
drafting the reports, as well as those proposals accepted
and reflected in the 1985 Budget or previous budgets,
regardless of the year(s) in which the savings would be
realized. Normall there should be no additions or
deletions to the issues assigned to this category. Fully
explain any c anges made by the agency in the
"EXPLANATION/COMMENTS" section of the worksheet.
2. Proposed in the 1986 Budget. This group includes issues
proposed for implementation and/or put into effect either
by law or administrative process in 1986. Agencies will
not reclassify issues in this group to other categories.
Instead, agencies will indicate the disposition of each
of these issues in .the next section under the heading
"ACTION on issues proposed in the 1986 Budget".

The, PPSSCC reports identify cost reduction measures as
savings, revenue enhancements, or cash accelerations.
However, the savings estimates announced by the PPSSCC are a
combination of only savings estimates and revenue
enhancements. Cash accelerations were excluded since they
represent a compressed timeframe for the collection of
receipts rather than a change in total receipts collected
over a longer period.
For data submissions under this Bulletin, (as in Bulletin
84-18) no distinction will be made between savings and
revenue enhancements other than whether the issue will result
or has resulted in a reduction in outlays or an increase in
receipts levels. Do not report information on cash
accelerations.
The accounts listed are those previously identified by the
agencies as affected by the PPSSCC issue. Where the effect
has been previously reported at an aggregate level., the
aggregate is listed.
Savings should be allocated.. to. the specific years and
accounts on the worksheet. In cases where more than one
account is involved, agencies will report separate savings
estimates for each.
The account/aggregate list should be revised, where
necessary, to identify as accurately as possible where the
estimated savings will occur or have occurred..
Most recent agency savings estimate. The Worksheet provides
t e most recen savings estimate previously included in the
1986 Management Report on this line. Any new or revised
savings estimated by the agency will be entered on the next
line.
Revised or new savings estimate. Enter new or revised
estimates ca cu ate in accordance with the following
instructions:
For issue status 1, in the 1985 or prior budgets, enter as
outlay savings the additional outlays that would have
occurred in fiscal years 1984-1986 if the issues had not been
accepted.
For issue status 2, proposed in the 1986 Budget and if the
action on the issue has been:
a. Agreed to by the Congress. Enter as outlay savings the

MEMORANDUM FOR THE DOMESTi POLICY COUNCIL
FROM: JACK- 1 '
OFFICE CABINET AFFAIRS
President's Private Sector Survey on Cost Control
(PPSSCC)
INTRODUCTION
The Administration has completed the review of all 2478 PPSSCC
recommendations. Implementation decisions have been compiled on
each. The presentation to the President and other members of the
Domestic Policy Council on October 28 will outline those deci-
sions, summarize the current implementation status and recommend
responsibility for future monitoring and reporting.
BACKGROUND
In January, 1984, the PPSSCC, chaired by J. Peter Grace,
submitted to the President 2478 recommendations for change within
the Executive Branch. Three year savings of $424.4 billion were
projected with their implementation.
Between 1983 and September, 1985, the Executive Branch reviewed
and evaluated all PPSSCC recommendations. A significant number
have already been implemented or proposed in the FY 1986 Budget.
The President committed the Administration to a thorough
evaluation of all recommendations, to maximum implementation of
those consistent with Administration policy and sound management
practice, and to a reporting of those actions.
All recommendations were assigned to the appropriate department
or agency for initial review and implementation decision. The
department and agency positions were shared with the White House
at a series of reviews chaired by the Cabinet Secretary. The
Cabinet Council on Management and Administration, and later the
Domestic Policy Council have coordinated the final reviews.
RESULTS
o Each PPSSCC recommendation and its associated three year
PPSSCC dollar savings have now been placed in one of four
categories:
- Adopted: FY 1985 or Prior Budgets
- Proposed: FY 1986 Budget 1
- To Be Proposed: FY 1987 Budget
- Deferred.
Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2009/11/30: CIA-RDP87M00539R002303780001-5
o Deferred recommendations are those for which implementation
is not proposed at this time, but which will be reconsidered
later. A significant amount of dollar savings associated
with the deferrals is concentrated in a few areas recommenda-
tions.
o Implementation progress is being monitored for recommenda-
tions adopted in FY 1985 or prior budgets and those proposed
in the FY 1986 Budget.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE DOMESTIC POLICY COUNCIL
Three recommendations will be presented to the Domestic Policy
Council.
1. To accept the decisions for implementation and deferral of
the PPSSCC recommendations as presented.
2. To assign OMB the responsibility for monitoring, tracking
and quarterly reporting on PPSSCC implementation to the
Domestic Policy Council.
3. To express appreciation to J. Peter Grace for his ongoing
effort, and to provide him a summary of the implementation
status and plans for Administration monitoring, tracking and
reporting.

SUBJECT: Final Report to the President
Enclosed is a copy of the PPSSCC Report to the President.
The Report was approved by the Executive Committee of the
President's Private Sector Survey at its open meeting on
January 15, 1984.
Because of an extremely limited supply of copies and because
the President's Private Sector Survey will terminate its official
business on January 31, 1984, we regret that it is not Possible
to send you multiple copies, but hope that you will be able to
make any additional and necessary copies from the enclosed
report.
We are in the process of negotiating arrangements with a
commercial printer and are hopeful that multiple copies will be
available shortly through commercial establishments, as well as
the Government Printing Office.
Thank you, again for the support and assistance which you
provided to the members of the President's Private Sector Survey.
All of us are deeply appreciative of everything that you and the
members of your staff did to make our Survey possible.

Memorandum
To:
From:
Subject:
Enclosed are final, revised versions of Task Force Reports
on or pertaining to your department or agency.
Consistent with the requirements of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act, the draft PPSSCC reports were deliberated and
endorsed by a Subcommittee of the full PPSSCC Executive
Committee. In addition, provisions were made whereby the general
public was able to file written comment on the draft reports, and
departments and agencies were encouraged to notify PPSSCC of any
factual errors contained in the reports. The extent to which the
final reports differ from earlier draft reports is a function of
this process, as well as the final review and standardization of
numbers and cost accounting principles which the Survey Manage-
ment office indicated it would undertake once all draft reports
had been released. There has been virtually no reformulation of
the issues and recommendations themselves; rather, emphasis has
been placed on ensuring the technical accuracy and consistency of
the data contained therein.
The numbers and categorization of economic benefits
contained in the final reports may vary from those in the draft
reports. However, with few exceptions, these changes are not
considered significant (less than 2%) and emphasis should
continue to be on the issues themselves and the overall potential
for cost savings and revenue enhancement. Copies of these final
reports also have been sent to the President, to the Office of
Cabinet Affairs, and to the appropriate Congressional Oversight
Committees.
If the enclosed report(s) have already been the subject of a
White House Review Group meeting and if you believe revised data
in the final report necessitates the reconvening of that group,

you or your staff should so advise Craig Fuller. We do not,
however, believe this to be a likely event. If your department
or agency has already been formally asked by the White House to
evaluate the enclosed report(s), your evaluation should continue
to focus on the draft report. Finally, if your department or
agency has not yet been asked to evaluate the enclosed report(s),
that evaluation -- when it occurs -- should be based on the
enclosed final report(s).
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact
me or Janet Colson. Needless to say, all of us associated with
PPSSCC greatly appreciate the support and cooperation the
departments and agencies have extended and continue to extend to
PPSSCC. It has been a rewarding and productive experience for us
and, I hope, for you as well.

The Honorable Ronald Reagan
President of the United States
The White House
Washington, D.C.
Following your directive to identify and suggest
remedies for waste and abuse in the Federal Government,
the President's Private Sector Survey (PPSS) offers
recommendations which would save:
o $424 billion in three years, rising to
o $1.9 trillion per year by the year 2000.
These proposals would transform the Federal debt
situation as follows:
Annual Interest

1990 $ 3.2 $ 2.0 $ 252.3 $ 89.2
1995 6.2 2.2 540.9 62.3
2000 13.0 2.5 1,520.7 75.1
You asked the American people to help you get the
Government "off their backs." If the American people
realized how rapidly Federal Government spending is likely
to grow under existing legislated programs, I am convinced
they would compel their elected representatives to "get the
Government off their backs." In our survey to search out
ways to cut costs in the Government, great emphasis was
placed on the spending outlook, which is as follows:

(202) 466-5170
Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2009/11/30: CIA-RDP87M00539R002303780001-5
Federal Revenues, Outlays and Deficits
1983 Deficit
$195 Billion
Deficit
$2Trillion
If fundamental changes are not made in Federal
spending, as compared with the fiscal 1983 deficit of $195
billion, a deficit of over ten times that amount, $2
trillion, is projected for the year 2000, only 17 years
from now. In that year, the Federal debt would be $13.0
trillion ($160,000 per current taxpayer) and the interest
alone on the debt would be $1.5 trillion per year ($18,500
per year per current taxpayer).
Mr. President, these projections are the result of a
joint effort between PPSS and a leading U.S. economic
forecasting firm. They are the result of very careful
study and drove us to seek out every possible savings
opportunity, 'like tireless bloodhounds," as you requested.
In the course of the search by our 36 Task Forces,
chaired by 161 top executives from around the country and
staffed by over 2,000 volunteers that they provided, we
7came up with 2,478 separate, distinct, and specific
recommendations which are the basis for the carefully
projected savings. For practical purposes, these savings,
Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2009/11/30: CIA-RDP87M00539R002303780001-5
if fully implemented, could virtually eliminate the
reported deficit by the 1990's versus an alternative
deficit of $10.2 trillion in the decade of the 1990's
if no action is taken.
Equally important, the 2,478 cost-cutting, revenue-
enhancing recommendations we have made can be achieved
without raising taxes, without weakening America's needed
defense build-up, and without in any way harming necessary
social welfare programs.
Because we are starting from a deficit of $195 billion,
every dollar we can stop spending is a dollar that the
Government does not have to borrow. With future Government
borrowing costs at 11 percent (versus 10.75 percent now and
14.5 percent when you took office) and inflation taken at 6
percent per year over the longer run, these savings
compound quickly.
Applying these interest and inflation rates, the
result is that a dollar saved today accumulates to $32 over
12 years and $71 over 17 years. Thus, any potential saving
made, as compared to not making the saving, translates into
a difference in cumulative spending of 32 times that amount
through 1995 and 71 times that amount through the end of
the century.
Therefore, $100 billion in reduced Government spending
in year one equates cumulatively to $7.1 trillion in the
year 2000. And since borrowings are decreased by this
amount, so will the national debt decrease.
This is, of course, a horrendous prospect. If the
American people understood the gravity of the outlook, they
would not, I believe, support representatives who might let
it happen.
Mr. President, you have been so correct in resisting
attempts to balance the budget by increasing taxes. The
tax load on the average American family is already at
counterproductive levels with the underground economy
having now grown to an estimated $500 billion per year,
costing about $100 billion in lost Federal tax revenues per
year.
The size of the underground economy is understandable
when one considers that median family income taxes have
increased from $9 in 1948 to $2,218 in 1983, or by 246
times. This is runaway taxation at its worst.
Importantly, any meaningful increases in taxes from
personal income would have to come from lower and middle
income families, as 90 percent of all personal taxable
income is generated below the taxable income level of
$35,000.
Further, there isn't much more that can be extracted
from high income brackets. If the Government took 100
percent of all taxable income beyond the $75,000 tax
bracket not already taxed, it would get only $17 billion,
and this confiscation, which would destroy productive
enterprise, would only be sufficient to run the Government
for seven days.
Resistance to additional income taxes would be even
more widespread if people were aware that:
o One-third of all their taxes is consumed
by waste and inefficiency in the Federal
Government as we identified in our
survey.
o Another one-third of all their taxes
escapes collection from others as the
underground economy blossoms in direct
proportion to tax increases and places
even more pressure on law abiding tax-
payers, promoting still more underground
economy -- a vicious circle that must be
broken.
o With two-thirds of everyone's personal
income taxes wasted or not collected,
100 percent of what is collected is
absorbed solely by interest on the
Federal debt and by Federal Government
contributions to transfer payments. In
other words, all individual income tax
revenues are gone before one nickel is
spent on the services which taxpayers
expect from their Government.
Our
survey studied the small as well as the major
items
of
cost savings, items of broad national impact as
well
as
those of a more localized nature. I believe you
will
be
interested in a few random examples of what we
found:
o In the Northwest, the Federal Power
Marketing Administration is selling
subsidized power at one-third of market
rates. If the Federal power were priced
at market, there would be a three-year

increase in revenues of $4.5 billion,
which equates to the three-year personal
income taxes of 676,000 median income
American families who are thus subsidiz-
ing a discrete group in one part of the
country.
o The Civil Service and Military Retirement
Systems provide to participants three
times and six times the benefits, respec-
tively, of the best private sector plans.
The Government's civilian and military
employees retire at an earlier age, typi-
cally age 55 and 40, respectively, versus
63 to 64 in the private sector, with sub-
stantially more liberal benefit formulas
than their private sector counterparts.
In addition, the pensions of Federal
retirees are fully indexed for inflation
-- a rarity in the private sector.
Modifying major Federal pensions to
provide benefits comparable to those of
the best private sector plans, slightly
better in the case of military pensions,
would result in three-year savings of
$60.9 billion, equivalent to the three-
year income taxes of 9.2 million median
income families.
o A relatively small item in the overall,
but representative of many, is the pro-
hibition of competitive bidding on the
movement of military personnel household
goods to and from Alaska and Hawaii,
despite a DOD test showing that competi-
tive bidding would reduce costs by as
much as 26 percent. Elimination of this
provision would save $69.5 million in
three years, equivalent to the three-year
income taxes of 10,400 median income
families.
o We found congressional interference to be
a major problem. For example, because
Congress obstructs the closing of bases
that the military wants to close, the
three-year waste is $367 million. In
total, PPSS recommends three-year savings
of $3.1 billion by closing excess mili-
tary bases, equivalent to the three-year
income taxes of 466,000 median income
families.

Mr. President, these are just a few of the absurd
situations that we found throughout the Government that add
up to billions of dollars per year and where the opportuni-
ties for savings are clearly available.
Some of the recommendations made by PPSS have been
made before. Others are entirely new. Regardless of their
origins, the focus must now be on implementation. The
current economic trends are simply too serious to delay
action any longer.
PPSS has submitted 36 major Task Force reports and 11
studies on special subjects such as subsidies and retire-
ment. In total, these reports substantiate three-year
ongoing savings of $424.4 billion, plus cash accelerations
of $66 billion. These are all analyzed and supported in
great detail. Capsuled in terms of the functional problems
to which they relate, the savings are as follows:

These data confirm our findings that system failures
and personnel mismanagement together comprise well over
one-half, 57.1 percent, of the total savings possibil-
ities. They are at the foundation of inefficiencies in the
Federal Government. Program waste, which accounts for 37.9
percent of the savings recommendations, would also be
substantially eliminated if proper systems and personnel
management were in place.
The above underscores one of our most important
recommendations, which is the establishment of an Office
of Federal Management in the Executive Office of the
Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2009/11/30: CIA-RDP87M00539R002303780001-5
president. This Federal Government top management office
would include OMB, GSA and OPM and have Government-wide
responsibility for establishing, modernizing, and
monitoring management systems.
If it is set up and staffed properly, it could go a
long way to avoid in the future the thousands of deficien-
cies and examples of waste that we have identified. We
would not feel our task complete if we just identified past
deficiencies without recommendations for a management and
organizational structure would be best suited for
preventing
Additionally, the establishment of this new office
would be beneficial in the implementation process of the
PPSS recommendations.
In this regard, we believe that your Cabinet Council
on Management and Administration, working in concert with
the office of Cabinet Affairs, is uniquely suited to lead a
Government-wide effort to restore sound principles of
management and efficiency to the Federal Government. While
the Cabinet Council already has taken a leadership role in
this regard, we urge you to call upon it to make implemen-
tation of the PPSS recommendations Government-wide its
highest priority.
Mr. President, it was a great honor to have been asked
by you to engage in this effort to identify ways to elimi-
nate inefficiency, waste and abuse in the Federal Govern-
ment. The project was structured and staffed to effect
enduring improvement so that our children and grandchildren
would not inherit a situation that would be devastating to
them and to the values of our economic and social system.
It was in this vein that we were able to enlist the 161 top
executives from private business and other organizations to
chair and to staff our 36 Task Forces at a cost to the
private sector of over $75 million and at no cost to the
Government.
All the participants join with me in thanking you for
the opportunity to be of service and in looking forward to
whatever additional help we may be able to provide to
assure that the greatest practical results are obtained
from the work of this Commission.
Respectfully,
J. Peter Grace
Chairman
