摘要

This report represents the results of the President's Private Sector Survey on Cost Control on the Department of Education, and the Department of Health and Human Services: Department Management , including the Office of Human Development Services. The Report contains major recommendations which, when fully implemented, could result in three-year cost savings and revenue generation of $2,827 million/602 million and three-year cash acceleration of $5,841 million/477 million respectively. It should be noted, however, that some of the recommendations may require several years for the savings and revenue to be realized. While all facets of either Department could not be surveyed in the time allotted, areas selected for review were considered to offer significant potential for cost control and improved efficiency. The importance of the accompanying recommendations rests on the fact that they represent the potential for better utilizing finite resources available to the Federal Government.
