            DLAMP Refocused

USD(P&R) memo, 12/21/01:

  senior civilian executives with a joint perspective on
  managing the Department’s workforce and programs
• Refocus and streamline the program in line with the
  Department’s new strategic direction for civilian human
  resources management
• Make the program more flexible, cost-effective, and
  efficient in meeting short- and long-term requirements for
  highly capable civilian leaders
