In a 1978 message to Congress, Carter said, 'Civil Service reform will be the centerpiece of government reorganization during my term in office.' This highlighted his focus on establishing a functional federal workforce.
Eizenstat wrote in a Washington Post op-ed, 'Carter established the Senior Executive Service and insulated civil service workers against political pressure, slowing the revolving door for departing officials.' This showcases Carter's significant reforms.
