President Trump signed an executive order directing the elimination of seven additional federal agencies responsible for jobs such as labor mediation and homelessness, funding state museums and libraries and overseeing government funding of news outlets around the world.
The order, issued just before midnight Friday, directs the largely obscure agencies to “be eliminated to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law.”
It also orders the agency heads to “reduce the performance of their statutory functions and associated personnel.” Leaders of each entity must submit a report to the Office of Management and Budget confirming full compliance within seven days.
Targeted for elimination are:
The U.S. Agency for Global Media, which is the parent company of Voice of America, which funds international media.
• The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in the Smithsonian Institution, a government-funded think tank.
• The Institute of Museum and Library Services, which supports libraries, archives and museums in every state.
• The United States Interagency Council on Homelessness, which aims to prevent and end homelessness.
• The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, which resolves work stoppages and labor disputes.
