2.G: Legislation and Executive Orders

Conduct an effective interagency legislative and executive order coordination and clearance process.

Other Information:

Relationship to Annual Performance Goals: Two traditional and long-standing OMB functions are to coordinate the interagency review and clearance for submission to Congress of agencies' legislative proposals, testimony, and views letters on legislation, and to coordinate the interagency review and clearance of draft executive orders for submission to the President. Means and Strategies: OMB strives to ensure that the views of all concerned agencies are taken into account and addressed in communications to Congress on legislation and that these communications reflect Administration policies accurately. OMB also strives to ensure that the views of all concerned agencies are taken into account and addressed in draft executive orders that are submitted to the President for consideration. OMB will continue to work cooperatively with Executive branch agencies to manage effectively functioning interagency legislative and executive order coordination and clearance processes. External Factors: The primary external factor is the cooperation of agencies in the interagency legislative and executive order coordination and clearance processes and allocation of appropriate resources by the agencies to these activities.
