Recommendations and Actions

ORG03: Establish a List of Specific Field Offices to be Closed

Action

Within 18 months, establish a list of specific field offices to be closed and submit this list to Congress for approval. (2)

The President should charge the President's Management Council (PMC) with coordinating an 18-month government-wide review culminating in the submission to Congress of a list of civilian field offices that should be closed. This should be a participative process between the agencies, the Executive Office of the President, and congressional leaders using objective criteria and review processes to establish the closure lists.

Agencies with existing plans for restructuring field offices should remain on schedule and not await the PMC submission.
