In sum, the planning challenge for the Corps is to respond substantively to an emerging vision of water management -- a vision referred to in this report as "portfolio planning." Portfolio planning will be best advanced by clear instruction through a new study authority, by strategies that deploy Corps technical staff capability to maximize their value to the nation, and by procedures that elevate fundamental policy decisions to responsible decision- making authority within the administration, Congress, and the states. There is a need to refocus the Corps planning process and then support it via the means and procedures presented in this report.
