This thesis explores the interactions between Navy Program
Managers and the United States Congress. It describes the amount
and type of interactions, end the formal organization in the Navy
to deal with them. Initial research was based on telephone and written surveys.
This was followed by extensive personal interviews with Congressional
staff members, Congressmen, DOD civilians, Congressional liaison
personnel, and Navy Program Managers. Congressional expectations or norms for their interactions with
Program Managers are discussed-, as well as Congressional views of
what actually occurs. The effects of the discrepancies between
Congressional expectations and Congressional images of how Program
Managers act are described. Finally, some recommendations are made
to help improve Navy Program Manager-Congressional interactions.
