Additional Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions

               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. In Executive Order 14148 of January 
               20, 2025 (Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive 
               Orders and Actions), I rescinded 78 Presidential orders 
               and memoranda issued by then-President Biden. I also 
               directed the Assistant to the President for Domestic 
               Policy, the Assistant to the President for Economic 
               Policy, and the Assistant to the President for National 
               Security Affairs to compile lists of additional orders, 
               memoranda, and proclamations issued by the prior 
               administration that should be rescinded. I have 
               determined that the following additional rescissions 
               are necessary to advance the policy of the United 
               States to restore common sense to the Federal 
               Government and unleash the potential of American
