WASHINGTON, DC—Nov. 09, 2011—President Obama announced he would sign an Executive Order that will cut waste and promote more efficient spending across the federal government. With this order, the President is directing agencies to
- reduce spending on travel;
- limit the number of information technology devices (e.g. cell phones, smartphones, tablets, laptops) that can be issued to individual employees;
- stop unnecessarily printing of documents that can be posted online;
- shrink the executive fleet of the federal government; and
- stop using taxpayer dollars to buy swag—the plaques, clothing, and other unnecessary promotional items that agencies purchase.
(Details of the cuts in each area are provided on page 2.)
