Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our earlier analysis of the Department of Defense's (DOD) Future Years Defense Program (FYDP) for fiscal year 1998 found substantial risk that the program would not be executed as planned. According to DOD, compared to the fiscal year 1998 FYDP, the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) proposed a more balanced, modern, and capable program that can be executed within currently proposed budgets. DOD planned to incorporate many of the details of the QDR blueprint into its fiscal year 1999 FYDP. As you requested, we (1) identified the Department's plans to address the financial and programmatic risk areas that the QDR found in DOD's program, (2) compared DOD's 1999 FYDP with its 1998 FYDP to identify minor changes and adjustments to address these risk areas, and (3) explored whether there were risk areas in DOD's 1999 program. Our report does not reflect any adjustments that may have been taken by the Committees on Authorizations and Appropriations during their reviews of the 1999 defense budget request.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congress needs the best available data about the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) resource tradeoffs between the dual priorities of transformation and fighting terrorism. In 2001 DoD developed a capabilities-based approach focused on how future adversaries might fight, and a risk management framework to ensure that current defense needs are balanced against future requirements. Because the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP) is DoD’s centralized report providing data on current and planned resource allocations, this 2004 report assessed the extent to which the FYDP provides Congress visibility over projected defense spending, and implementation of DoD’s capabilities-based defense strategy and risk management framework. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense's (DOD) Future Years Defense Program (FYDP) is the official document that summarizes the force levels and funding associated with specific programs that the Secretary of Defense would like Congress to approve. The FYDP reflects decisions made in the DOD Planning, Programming, and Budgeting System, which is intended to produce the best possible mixture of forces, equipment, and support to accomplish DOD's mission. The FYDP presents estimated appropriation needs for the budget year for which funds are being requested from Congress and at least the 4 years following it. The fiscal year 2000 FYDP supported the President's 2000 budget and requested $278.5 billion for 2000 and $1,434 billion total funding for fiscal years 2001-05. The fiscal year 2001 FYDP supports the President's 2001 budget and requests $1,450 billion total funding for 2001-05. As requested, this report concentrates on the period common to both FYDPs, 2001-05, and discusses the risks that the 2001 FYDP faces that may prevent it from being implemented as planned. The report also discusses recent actions taken by Congress on DOD's budget for 2001 during its consideration of the fiscal Year 2001 National Defense Authorization Act and its enactment of the Fiscal Year 2001 Defense Appropriations Act.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its bottom-up review in 1993, the Department of Defense (DOD) has repeatedly stated that it must reduce its infrastructure to offset the cost of future modem weapon systems. Our analysis of DOD'S Future Years Defense Programs (FYDP) for fiscal years 1996 and 1997 showed that DOD continued to allocate about the same percentage of its budget for infrastructure activities as it did at the time of the bottom-up review and that planned weapon systems increases had repeatedly been shifted further into the future with each succeeding FYDP. As requested, we compared DOD'S fiscal year 1998 FYDP with the FYDP for fiscal year 1997. Specifically, we determined (1) how major programs were adjusted from the 1997 FYDP to the 1998 FYDP and (2) how these adjustments may affect programs in the future. We also identified proposed Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) initiatives that could impact future FYDPS. We do not reflect any adjustments that may have been taken by the Committees on Authorizations and Appropriations during their reviews of the fiscal year 1998 defense budget request.
Download or read book Rising Above the Gathering Storm written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-03-08 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world where advanced knowledge is widespread and low-cost labor is readily available, U.S. advantages in the marketplace and in science and technology have begun to erode. A comprehensive and coordinated federal effort is urgently needed to bolster U.S. competitiveness and pre-eminence in these areas. This congressionally requested report by a pre-eminent committee makes four recommendations along with 20 implementation actions that federal policy-makers should take to create high-quality jobs and focus new science and technology efforts on meeting the nation's needs, especially in the area of clean, affordable energy: 1) Increase America's talent pool by vastly improving K-12 mathematics and science education; 2) Sustain and strengthen the nation's commitment to long-term basic research; 3) Develop, recruit, and retain top students, scientists, and engineers from both the U.S. and abroad; and 4) Ensure that the United States is the premier place in the world for innovation. Some actions will involve changing existing laws, while others will require financial support that would come from reallocating existing budgets or increasing them. Rising Above the Gathering Storm will be of great interest to federal and state government agencies, educators and schools, public decision makers, research sponsors, regulatory analysts, and scholars.
Download or read book Responding to Oil Spills in the U S Arctic Marine Environment written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. Arctic waters north of the Bering Strait and west of the Canadian border encompass a vast area that is usually ice covered for much of the year, but is increasingly experiencing longer periods and larger areas of open water due to climate change. Sparsely inhabited with a wide variety of ecosystems found nowhere else, this region is vulnerable to damage from human activities. As oil and gas, shipping, and tourism activities increase, the possibilities of an oil spill also increase. How can we best prepare to respond to such an event in this challenging environment? Responding to Oil Spills in the U.S. Arctic Marine Environment reviews the current state of the science regarding oil spill response and environmental assessment in the Arctic region north of the Bering Strait, with emphasis on the potential impacts in U.S. waters. This report describes the unique ecosystems and environment of the Arctic and makes recommendations to provide an effective response effort in these challenging conditions. According to Responding to Oil Spills in the U.S. Arctic Marine Environment, a full range of proven oil spill response technologies is needed in order to minimize the impacts on people and sensitive ecosystems. This report identifies key oil spill research priorities, critical data and monitoring needs, mitigation strategies, and important operational and logistical issues. The Arctic acts as an integrating, regulating, and mediating component of the physical, atmospheric and cryospheric systems that govern life on Earth. Not only does the Arctic serve as regulator of many of the Earth's large-scale systems and processes, but it is also an area where choices made have substantial impact on life and choices everywhere on planet Earth. This report's recommendations will assist environmentalists, industry, state and local policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of this special region to preserve and protect it from damaging oil spills.
Download or read book An Opportunity for a Different Peru written by Marcelo Giugale and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 860 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time in the republican history of Peru, the presidential transition takes place in democracy, social peace, fast economic growth and favorable world markets. In other words, there has never been a better chance to build a different Peru - a richer country, more equal and governable. There are multiple ways to achieve that goal. New reforms must stem from a widespread and participatory debate, one of a common vision conceived for and by Peruvians. This book aims at making a technical and independent contribution to such debate; it summarizes the knowledge available about the challenges to be faced by the new administration. The study does not recommend silver bullets, but suggests policy options. It is based on the analysis of the current reality and in six decades of relationships with Peru, in which the Bank has implemented more than 100 projects and prepared more than 500 technical reports covering the wide range of development topics. When necessary, the study provides lessons that the Bank has learned elsewhere. The study provides a conceptual framework to the analysis of the country's 34 economic sectors and the two historical perspectives behind them. In doing so, it offers a comprehensive reform agenda that sheds light on possible priorities and courses of action.
