Dear Mr. President,
 
       The National Performance Review, the intensive, 6-month
study of the federal government that you requested, has completed
its work.  This report represents the beginning of what must be,
and -- with your leadership -- will be, a long-term commitment to
change.  The title of this report reflects our goals: moving from
red tape to results to create a government that works better and
costs less.
 
       Many talented federal employees contributed to this
report, bringing their experience and insight to a difficult and
urgent task.  We sought ideas and advice from all across America:
from other federal workers, from state and local government
officials, from management experts, from business leaders, and
from private citizens eager for change. This report benefitted
greatly from their involvement, and we intend for them to benefit
from the reforms we are proposing here.
 
       It is your vision of a government that works for people,
cleared of useless bureaucracy and waste and freed from red tape
and senseless rules, that continues to be the catalyst for our
efforts.  We present this report to you confident that it will
provide an effective and innovative plan to make that vision a
reality.
                                        Sincerely,

                                        Al Gore
                                        Vice President
