Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy

               By the authority vested in me as President by the 
               Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
               America, it is hereby ordered:

               Section 1. Purpose. It is the policy of my 
               Administration to dramatically reduce the size of the 
               Federal Government, while increasing its accountability 
               to the American people. This order commences a 
               reduction in the elements of the Federal bureaucracy 
               that the President has determined are unnecessary. 
               Reducing the size of the Federal Government will 
               minimize Government waste and abuse, reduce inflation, 
               and promote American freedom and innovation.

               Sec. 2. Reducing the Scope of the Federal Bureaucracy. 
               (a) The non-statutory components and functions of the 
               following governmental entities shall be eliminated to 
               the maximum extent consistent with applicable law, and 
               such entities shall reduce the performance of their 
               statutory functions and associated personnel to the 
               minimum presence and function required by law:

(i) the Presidio Trust;

(ii) the Inter-American Foundation;

(iii) the United States African Development Foundation; and

(iv) the United States Institute of Peace.

                   (b) Within 14 days of the date of this order, the 
               head of each unnecessary governmental entity listed in 
               subsection (a) of this section shall submit a report to 
               the Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
               (OMB Director) confirming compliance with this order 
               and stating whether the governmental entity, or any 
               components or functions thereof, are statutorily 
               required and to what extent.
                   (c) In reviewing budget requests submitted by the 
               governmental entities listed in subsection (a) of this 
               section, the OMB Director or the head of any executive 
               department or agency charged with reviewing grant 
               requests by such entities shall, to the extent 
               consistent with applicable law and except insofar as 
               necessary to effectuate an expected termination, reject 
               funding requests for such governmental entities to the 
               extent they are inconsistent with this order.
                   (d) The Presidential Memorandum of November 13, 
               1961 (Need for Greater Coordination of Regional and 
               Field Activities of the Government), is hereby revoked. 
               The Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM 
               Director) is directed to initiate the process to 
               withdraw the regulations at title 5, part 960, Code of 
               Federal Regulations, thereby eliminating the Federal 
               Executive Boards.
                   (e) The OPM Director is directed to initiate the 
               process to withdraw the regulations at title 5, part 
               362, subpart D, Code of Federal Regulations, and to

               the Presidential Management Fellows Program. On the 
               effective date of the final regulations promulgated by 
               the OPM Director, Executive Order 13318 of November 21,

a Government-wide combined conversion cap applicable to both categories 
together)''; and

(v) redesignating sections 6, 7, 8, and 9 as sections 5, 6, 7, and 8

               enforceable at law or in equity by any party against 
               the United States, its departments, agencies, or 
               entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
