Continuing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy

Continuing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy. Directs several federal entities to eliminate all non-statutory components and reduce their statutory functions and associated personnel to the minimum required by law. Agency heads must report compliance within seven days, detailing which functions are legally required. Additionally, the Office of Management and Budget is instructed to reject funding requests inconsistent with this directive. Among those targeted is the US Agency for Global Media, which manages Voice of America.
