(2) The Federal Government has had uneven success in applying advances in information technology to enhance governmental functions and services, achieve more efficient performance, increase access to Government information, and increase citizen participation in Government. (3) Most Internet-based services of the Federal Government are developed and presented separately, according to the jurisdictional boundaries of an individual department or agency, rather than being integrated cooperatively according to function or topic. (4) Internet-based Government services involving interagency cooperation are especially difficult to develop and promote, in part because of a lack of sufficient funding mechanisms to support such interagency cooperation. (5) Electronic Government has its impact through improved Government performance and outcomes within and across agencies. (6) Electronic Government is a critical element in the management of Government, to be implemented as part of a management framework that also addresses finance, procurement, human capital, and other challenges to improve the performance of Government. (7) To take full advantage of the improved Government performance that can be achieved through the use of Internetbased technology requires strong leadership, better organization, improved interagency collaboration, and more focused oversight of agency compliance with statutes related to information resource management. (b) PURPOSES. The purposes of this Act are the following: (1) To provide effective leadership of Federal Government 142

(4) To improve the ability of the Government to achieve agency missions and program performance goals. (5) To promote the use of the Internet and emerging technologies within and across Government agencies to provide citizen-centric Government information and services.
