An effective procedure for planning and decision making: Consideration by the executive branch of the government on a deliberate methodical basis of the manpower consequences of its current actions as well as of proposed changes in policies and programs at both the executive and legislative levels. Educational programs and economic benefits: To ensure the continuous availability of an effective technical manpower resource for the nation and to improve manpower mobility during periods of transition of national priorities affecting technical employment.
