President Speaks to Students
Steven VanRoekel, US Chief Information Officer, announces the a new memorandum from the Office of Management and Budget outlining key responsibilities and authorities for Agency CIOs to increase efficiency in federal information technology.
The Open Government Initiative asks for feedback on two key challenges -- improving public services and increasing public integrity.
A key part of the recent deficit reduction agreement is that the approximately $1 trillion in discretionary cuts are spread across the security and non-security parts of the budget.
The President’s announcement that Steven VanRoekel will be our nation’s next CIO comes at an important moment for our nation. As OMB works closely with the President and Vice President on the Campaign to Cut Waste, information technology (IT) is at the center of our efforts to save money, eliminate waste, and do more with less.
This year, federal workers submitted an incredible 19,559 ideas about how to make government more efficient and effective.
On the final day for federal employees to submit their cost-cutting ideas through the SAVE Award, Kenneth Baer, Senior Advisor and Associate Director for Communications and Strategic Planning, encourages member of the federal workforce to take a minute to submit an idea.
