Implementing the President's "Department of Government Efficiency" Cost Efficiency Initiative

This executive order establishes a government-wide initiative to increase transparency and accountability in federal spending. It requires agencies to implement systems for tracking and justifying payments, review existing contracts and grants for potential cost savings, and impose temporary restrictions on certain expenditures. The order aims to reduce wasteful spending and reallocate resources toward the administration's policy priorities while exempting critical functions like law enforcement, military operations, and emergency services.
