In August 1965, President Johnson issued a memorandum directing the heads of all government departments, bureaus, and agencies to install a programmed budgeting system better known as Planning, Programming, Budgeting System (PPBS). Now, more than two years later, very few range technicians or scientists know what PPBS is, nor do they know how it will affect their work. The PPBS system is explained and a reading list is included for those persons interested in pursuing the subject further.Type
