For our annual planning process, we drew heavily from the research and discussions with the Congress that helped us to produce our strategic plan for fiscal years 2000-2005. Like our strategic plan, the performance plan takes into account that over 90 percent of our resources are devoted to current and anticipated congressional mandates and requests for our work, including requests to help respond to legislative authorizations scheduled to occur in fiscal year 2001. We also factored in information required for appropriations and oversight by the Congress and for major current and emerging congressional and executive branch initiatives. Within that context, we contemplate investing a small percentage of our resources in important discretionary research and development work to identify and help the Congress address emerging issues facing the nation and its citizens before these issues reach crisis proportions.
