  Sima Guang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1064, he presented to the emperor Yingzong a book of five volumes, the Chronicle Chart, a summary of events of China from 403 BC to 959, which may be regarded as a first advertisement and request for sponsorship of his major project.
In 1066, he presented a further and more detailed work, the Comprehensive Records, comprising eight volumes chronicling the period from 403 BC to 207 BC, and at this time an edict was issued for the work to be continued.
As several modern scholars have observed, the title Mirror may be understood in this context as indicating a work of reference and guidance; so the emperor accepted he as his mentor in the science of history and its application to government, and for decades of his reign he maintained his support for the work.

 GAO-05-173, Federal-Aid Highways: FHWA Needs a Comprehensive Approach to Improving Project Oversight
Moreover, absent a comprehensive approach, FHWA is unlikely to overcome the structural, organizational, and cultural challenges it faces and to fully address the concerns raised about the adequacy of its oversight efforts.
Without such a comprehensive approach, FHWA cannot ensure that its varied activities are resulting in tangible improvements in the quality of its oversight and in the performance of federal-aid projects.
Furthermore, without a comprehensive approach, FHWA is not able to articulate what it wants its oversight to accomplish, the composition of its workforce to accomplish it, and how it will measure whether its efforts have or have not been successful.
