President Trump plans to sign an executive order aimed at eliminating or significantly reducing federal advisory committees, including the United States Institute of Peace and the Inter-American Foundation. His directive will require Cabinet members to review their agencies and propose further terminations within 30 days. This initiative seeks to reduce the number of federal agencies to a statutory minimum, a move complicated by congressional authorizations. The order highlights specific groups targeted for elimination, reflecting a broader strategy to streamline government operations.
The executive order, which the president plans to sign on Air Force One, will target organizations like the United States Institute of Peace and the Inter-American Foundation.
Trump will also require his Cabinet to scrub their departments and submit a list of additional committees and boards for termination within 30 days.
Among the groups that Trump will single out for termination or reduction: The Presidio Trust, a federal agency that manages large parts of the Presidio.
His goal is to pare back the number of agencies to a statutory minimum, which may be complicated because some of them have been authorized by Congress.
