Directs the Director to require each agency to prepare annual performance plans covering each program activity in the agency's budget.

Requires executive agency heads to report annually to the President and the Congress on program performance for the previous fiscal year, setting forth performance indicators, actual program performance, and a comparison with plan goals for that fiscal year. Specifies the contents of such reports.

Authorizes the Director to exempt any agency with annual outlays of $20 million or less from strategic and performance plan reporting requirements.

Allows performance plans to include proposals to waive administrative procedural requirements and controls in return for specific individual or organization accountability to achieve a performance goal.

Requires the Director to designate: (1) no fewer than ten agencies (representing a range of Government functions) as pilot projects in performance measurement; (2) no fewer than five agencies (selected from agencies in performance measurement pilot projects) as pilot projects in managerial accountability and flexibility; and (3) no fewer than five agencies (selected from agencies in performance measurement pilot projects) as pilot projects in performance budgeting.
