ArticlePublisher: New York : Elsevier, 2000Government Information Quarterly 17, 1, p. 7-12Abstract: The Information Technology Management Reform Act (ITMRA) of 1996 (P.L. 104106) established the position of Chief Information Officer (CIO) in the executive branch agencies. Executive Order 13011 (1966), "Federal Information Technology," created the CIO Council and offers yet additional detail on the responsibilities and duties of the CIO. After three years since these efforts, there is an important need to assess the CIO program at both a government-wide and agency level to: (1) make "mid-stream" corrections that might be needed to continue the governments efforts to improve information technology management and policy; (2) identify specific costs and benefits of the program, and; (3) review the existing policy basis for the CIO program and assess the need to revise that language. Such an evaluation effort should be undertaken as soon as possible
