A coalition of good government groups is convening a dialogue summit for legislative staff and executive branch officials to explore three timely questions:

• How can Congress use the program performance information contained in the President’s ’04 budget proposal to assist in its oversight, authorization and appropriations decisions?
• What kind of performance information should federal agencies provide to Congress?
• Can the PART be utilized in the President’s FY04 Budget be used by both the Legislature and the Executive Branches to evaluate the results of each federal program?

Space will be limited, with summit participants selected to represent each Congressional committee and executive branch agency.
