ELIMINATING INEFFICIENCY AND BUREAUCRACY: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to eliminate the Federal Executive Institute, a government program purportedly designed to provide bureaucratic leadership training.
- The Order directs the Office of Personnel Management to take all necessary steps to terminate the Federal Executive Institute and revokes the appropriate documents.
ENSURING EVERY TAX DOLLAR WORKS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: President Trump is committed to ensuring that government serves the American people, rather than itself, which requires a complete shift in government leadership toward reducing waste and promoting efficient service to taxpayers.
- The Federal Executive Institute was created by the Johnson Administration more than 50 years ago to provide leadership training to government bureaucrats.
- Bureaucratic leadership over the past half-century has enlarged and entrenched Washington, D.C.’s managerial class, a bloated system far removed from the needs of American families. New leadership is needed.
- The Federal Executive Institute includes a resort property in Charlottesville, VA, that was formerly a luxury hotel, which is used for bureaucracy training courses.
DISMANTLING GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACY: Eliminating the Federal Executive Institute is part of President Trump’s broader mission to reform the federal bureaucracy, including by ending ineffective government programs that drain resources and empower government without achieving measurable results.
- The government wastes billions of dollars each year on duplicative programs and frivolous expenditures that fail to align with American values or address the needs of the American people.
- President Trump temporarily paused foreign aid to many non-governmental organizations, international organizations, and contractors to ensure every dollar of U.S. foreign assistance supports American values.
- President Trump established the “Department of Government Efficiency” to examine how to streamline the Federal government, eliminate unnecessary programs, and reduce bureaucratic inefficiency.
