As I previously said, I have a private sector mindset. When I scrutinize my business or a given problematic situation, certain elements emerge, certain themes and categories. My next move is to put measures in place to address a particular issue.
If we don't have that information, how can we equip you with the tools you need or help lay the groundwork for certain tools so that you have the resources to fix the problem?
It's crucial to pinpoint the problem. It's important to have a list of the institutions that aren't performing well in order to figure out why that is. As things stand, we aren't in a position to address the issues. That's what we have been trying to tell you all morning. I believe it was the same in the fall. You can send us all the reports you want, but the fact remains that we aren't able to ascertain which of the 220 federal departments and agencies are struggling the most. Nor are we able to determine whether any tendencies that would help us hone in on the problem are emerging.
