President's Statement Congratulating OMB for Receiving the Kennedy School's Innovation in American Government Award
I am pleased that my Administration's Office of Management and Budget has
received the Kennedy School's Innovation in American Government Award for
its Program Assessment Rating Tool. I congratulate the hard-working
employees at OMB for winning this award and implementing our management
agenda. Taxpayer money should be spent wisely or not at all, and I am
proud of the progress we have made to improve management and focus on
results. We are changing the way the Federal government thinks about
program management and budgeting. We still have work to do, and improving
the effectiveness of government and providing good value to taxpayers will
continue to be a top priority of my Administration.
