		Capitol Complex Master Planning: AOC has taken steps to improve construction project management by developing a Capitol complex master plan, but more needs to be done to ensure the successful completion of the plan in a timely manner.
		Given the importance and sensitivity of the master plan and the condition of the Capitol complex, as well as the difficult trade-offs that the current budget environment demands, congressional and other stakeholder involvement early and throughout the development of the master plan is key to the plan's ultimate acceptance and value.
