“I strongly believe in the principle that ‘what gets measured gets done.’ This may not be the most glamorous or exciting stuff, but I am eager to get to work with my colleagues on the challenge of helping federal agencies and programs perform better through quality measurements, greater transparency and public accountability.”
Senator Warner, 10/30/2009
In October 2009, Senator Warner was selected by the Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad to lead a bipartisan Task Force on Governmental Performance. The group will look at how the government measures the cost-effectiveness of federal agencies and programs. The goal is to boost efficiency and find cost savings for taxpayers. Chairman Conrad said he selected Senator Warner to serve as chairman of the task force based on his experience as a business leader and as the former governor of Virginia.
