Chapter 8: The Bureaucracy
1/14/99

President Bill Clinton created the National Performance Review on March 3, 1993. He appointed Vice President Al Gore as its leader. The review was largely staffed by about 250 federal career civil servants. In addition, some interns, state and local government employees on loan, and a few consultants were also engaged in the work of this interagency task force. According to the administration, The Reinventing Government initiative is the longest-running and most successful government reform effort in U.S. history. This initiative may well serve as the cornerstone for Gore's efforts in winning the presidency in the year 2000.
