Having trouble understanding the new lingo of entrepreneurial government? Last year, the General Accounting Office published a glossary, Terms Related to Privatization
Activities and Processes (GGD-97-121).

To help ease the adjustment to the new competitive environment for support services, several organizations have formed a voluntary self-help organization, Government Agencies in Partnership, to promote cooperation and sharing information among organizations operating under franchise funds or working capital funds. GAP can be reached at www.gap.fed.gov on the Web.

The General Services Administration maintains an online directory of reimbursable government services at www.gsa.gov/reimburse.

The Entrepreneurial Government Committee of the U.S. Chief Financial Officers Council can be found at www.financenet.gov/fed/cfo/franchiz.
