... SCOPE OF THE STUDY The Government Performance and Results Act passed by Congress in June 1993 found that congressional policymaking, spending decisions, and program oversight were seriously handicapped by insufficient attention to program performance and results. Congress determined that the confidence of the American people in the federal government could be improved by systematically holding federal agencies accountable for achieving program results.

... ORGANIZATION OF THIS REPORT This third and final report of the committee evaluates activities initiated between 1999 and 2001 and assesses how well they support the PATH program goals and the likelihood of achieving the goals as revised in 2001 (see Appendix D for a summary of the 2000 and 2001 assessments)
From page 8...
... Chapter 5, Process for Long-Term Performance Assessment and Program Improvement, discusses how established principles and procedures for program evaluation can be incorporated into procedures for long-term assessment of PATH. The procedures emphasize the dual purpose of evaluating past performance and planning future activities to achieve the program's goals.
