Comments • The main focus of interest is E3 and E4 (expenditure planning) • We are interested in both the process and outcomes of E3 and E4, respectively • In analyzing E3 and E4, we will take into account that success for them was initially defined in E1 • In narrating the episode, we will pinpoint what was learned from E2 and how that learning affected the design of E4 (via E1) • The formulation of the AF management agenda to include the program-execution link will be discussed in studying E1. • Responses to this particular agenda item are (presently) considered outside the episode, as related events. We will not discuss these related events in detail, under the present design.
