Highlights from the
January/February issue of Government Leader:
THE ADVOCATE
Comptroller General David M.
Walker populates his spacious office at the Government Accountability
Office in Washington with objects bearing the name or image of his six
favorite leaders. It is a formidable aggregation, spanning three
centuries: Jefferson and Washington, Lincoln and Lee, Theodore Roosevelt
and John F. Kennedy.
PERFORMANCE ANXIETY
Whichever way it blows, change is definitely in the wind
for the federal pay system. The government is looking to abolish its
56-year-old General Schedule system in favor of something sleek and
modern, befitting a 21st century workforce.

LEADERSHIP: JOLLY GOOD FELLOWS
In the 40 years
since the first hand-picked candidates were given entrée into the
halls of power during the Johnson administration, the White House
Fellows program has launched the careers of Cabinet officials, senior
White House staff, and members of both the House and Senate. Not to
mention federal judges, U.S. attorneys and presidents of universities
and colleges.
HURRY UP AND SPEND
For the first time since
2001, Congress completed the appropriations process without its little
helper—the omnibus appropriations bill. The Interior Department and
related agencies even received their 2006 appropriations before the
Sept. 30 end of fiscal 2005. But many agencies had to wait two months or
more into the federal year before Congress managed to come to terms with
how they dole out money.
