Continuing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy

This executive order, issued by the President, aims to continue reducing the size and scope of the federal bureaucracy by targeting specific government entities deemed unnecessary. It requires seven listed agencies to eliminate their non-statutory components and functions to the maximum extent permitted by law, while reducing their statutory functions and personnel to the minimum required by law. The order is designed to streamline government operations and reduce federal spending, though it explicitly states that it must be implemented within the bounds of existing laws and available funding. The order directs agency heads to submit compliance reports within seven days and instructs the Office of Management and Budget to reject funding requests inconsistent with these reductions. It does not create any new legal rights or benefits and preserves existing statutory authorities.
