President Donald Trump hasn’t yet announced a formal management agenda, but the White House budget blueprint released March 16 is explicitly links executive orders freezing civilian government hiring and launching a federal agency reorganization to plans to dramatically cut civilian agency spending while refocusing government efforts on defense and homeland security.
“Legislation will be required before major reorganization of the Executive Branch can take place,” the budget blueprint stated, “but the White House is best situated to review and recommend changes to the Congress.”
