STATEMENT OF
THE HONORABLE SALLY KATZEN
DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR MANAGEMENT
OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
BEFORE THE
COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT REFORM
SUBCOMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT MANAGEMENT,
INFORMATION, AND TECHNOLOGY
U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

December 4, 2000

Mr. Chairman and members of the Subcommittee, I thank you for inviting me here today to discuss the implementation of the Presidential Transition Act. Given the events since November 7, 2000, we do not know who the next President will be. Nonetheless, much work has already been done, and we are ready to ensure that a smooth transition from this Administration to the President-elect, whoever that may be, will occur.

 

The Presidential Transition Act (Act) provides for an efficient transfer of authority from one Administration to the next and outlines specific roles for a number of Federal agencies, including the General Services Administration (GSA), the Office of Personnel Management, the Office of Presidential Personnel, and the U.S. Archivist.
