Abstract
This thesis is an analysis of the budgetary roles and strategies used in the
Department of the Navy by Major Claimants, Office of the Comptroller of the Navy
(NAVCOMPT), Office of the Secretary of Defense, and Office of Management and
Budget. The database is a report generated by NAVCOMPT, "Department of the
Navy; Operations and Maintenance, Navy (0&M,N); Review of the FY1987 Budget."
The analysis of the data supplied by NAVCOMPT suggests a plethora of findings
on DON budgetary behavior. These include: claimants which request more funds
receive more funds; changes in a claimant's budget request by NAVCOMPT are not
final; NAVCOMPT frequently restores funds it has cut; NAVCOMPT is just as likely
to add to a budget request as to subtract from the request; the OSD/OMB review has a
definite cutting bias; the best predictor of a claimant's budget this year is last year's
budget; and claimants do not maintain their proportional share of incremental budget
changes.
