Excerpt from A Planning Programming Budgeting System: The United States Geological Survey

In the three years that have elapsed since the Presidential directive, the Geological Survey hasnnotsxﬂyed the very real problems involved in implementing ppbs. Its most difficult problem has been the identification of output, and the measurement of that output's value to the users. Without estimates of the demands for the information produced by the Survey, calculation of benefits from the present activities of the Survey and economic comparison of these with alternative activities has been Virtually impossible. First attempts have to be made to solve this problem, if only to indicate in detail what is not known. These attempts are made here.

Excerpt from A Planning Programming Budgeting System: The United States Geological Survey

In August, 1965 President Johnson directed the heads of Federal agencies to implement a new Planning-Programming-Budgeting System (PPBS) throughout the Executive branch of the Government. As an agency in the Department of the Interior, the United States Geological Survey was required to respond to this directive but, like many other Executive agencies, was ill-equipped to carry out such implementation. The Survey was handicapped by the lack of well-defined objectives which could be readily translated into plans amenable to Planning Programming analysis. The agency was staffed, as well, by professional geologists and scientists without experience in economics, quantitative analysis, or the related disciplines needed for installing systems analysis.

In the three years that have elapsed since the Presidential directive, the Geological Survey has not solved the very real problems involved in implementing PPBS. Its most difficult problem has been the identification of output, and the measurement of that outputs value to the users. Without estimates of the demands for the information produced by the Survey, calculation of benefits from the present activities of the Survey and economic comparison of these with alternative activities has been virtually impossible. First attempts have to be made to solve this problem, if only to indicate in detail what is not known. These attempts are made here.

The essay begins with a brief description of Planning-Programciing-Budgeting in the federal government and of the current activities of the Geological Survey, as a frame of reference for raising the planning questions. From that point, it would be logical to begin the first of the PPBS systems analyses for this agency.
