A President's Science Advisory Committee panel met to discuss a similar proposal on November 15, 1965, at which time it became apparent that other Federal agencies had given prior thought to implementing the proposition. As a student of business control, the author became interested not so much in whether the proposal would work, but rather in its conceptual foundations and general significance for public policy. The latter is the general concern of this paper.Item Performance Contracting(1971-08) Blaschke, Charles L.It is indeed a pleasure being here especially to discuss some topics, one of which originated in Canada almost a century ago, performance contracting which was disbanded after a period of time. Today, I'd like to talk about two mechanisms for introducing accountability, mostly at the elementary and secondary levels because they really haven't been applied at the community college level. The first is performance contracting. I'd like to discuss what it is, what it is not, the extent to which it is being used throughout especially the United States, and some of the reasons why it has come into being. Secondly, I'd like to discuss for the first time in Canada, or at least release some results for the first time, of a computer based model used as a management tool for accountability which our group has been developing since 1967.
