    A Report to President Bill Clinton The Best Kept Secrets In Government VICE PRESIDENT AL GORE National Performance Review, September 1996 A Report to President Bill Clinton The Best Kept Secrets In Government VICE PRESIDENT AL GORE National Performance Review, September 1996 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Putting this little book together is a big job. A flood of facts and narratives come in from all over government, all around the country. Inspiration and skill turns all that into something that we hope is readable and interesting enough to begin to do justice to the reinvention story itself. Research, data tables, and drafts came from the NPR staff and reinventors work- ing on the report in dozens of federal agencies. I am grateful to all. The greatest debt of all is due the thousands of federal employees, state and local officials, private citizens, businesses, non-profits, and other organizations who are changing how government works. Day in and day out, with marvelous creativity, they are finding new ways to do things that make government work better and cost less. They are redefining public service, giving us all a reason for optimism. ii CONTENTS Introduction....................................................................................................1 Reinvention Highlights ................................................................................5 Secret One: Common Sense Has Come to the Federal Government ........9 Procurement Reform ..................................................................................12 Management
