Trump directs agencies to cut advisory boards by 'at least' one-third

Trump is directing all agencies to cut their advisory boards by “at least” one third.

The executive order issued Friday evening directs all federal agencies to “evaluate the need” for each of their current advisory committees.

The order gives agencies until Sept. 30 to terminate, at a minimum, one-third of their committees.

Committees that qualify for the chopping block include those that have completed their objective, had their work taken up by other panels or where the subject matter has “become obsolete.”

-snip-

There are an average of 1,000 advisory committees...…. that cover topics like disposal of high-level nuclear waste, the depletion of atmospheric ozone, addressing AIDS, and improving schools.

All trivial matters as far as the dotard is concerned.
