DHS Gets Management Upgrade
In the Bush administration's latest management score card, covering the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Homeland Security Department received the highest rating, green, for its efforts to open up jobs to private-sector competition. That appeared to be a noteworthy improvement over the yellow rating for competitive sourcing that the department received in the last score card. But it turns out that the yellow grade was just a mistake. DHS actually earned a green for the first quarter, too, according to an Office of Management and Budget spokesman. The error in the score card went unnoticed by the department and the administration for about four months until the new report was released last week.--Daniel Pulliam
