The budget office of the White House on Wednesday indicated that in case of government closure, the firing may take place on a large scale as the Congress faces a deadlock over the negotiations in the days going up to the time limit of funding of the government.
A memorandum from the management and the office of the Budget (OMB) reviewed by the Hill indicates that agencies are directed to use the opportunity to consider the lack of force for all employees in programs, projects or activities under three conditions.
Conditions include discretionary funding laps on 1 October, if another source of funding is not available and if the programs, projects, or activities “are not corresponding to the President’s priorities.” To consider firing, all conditions must be met.
Politician Informed on the first memorandum.
According to the memo, the agencies were directed to modify the RIF once closed to maintain the “minimum number” of employees required to work, and a plan should be submitted to OMB.
The memo essentially directs the agencies to set some federal employees permanently on fire that will otherwise be funny during a shutdown, but then the Congress will return to work after reopening the government.
On September 30, with less than a week before the shutdown deadline, the conversation is showing Some signs Progress. Republicans are refusing to pive their calls for seven weeks “clean” stopgap packages. Democrats are asking to protect the cheap care act subsidy, which has been knocked by President Trump.
A meeting between Trump and Senate minority leader Chak shumar (DN.Y.) and House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffrees (DN.Y.) has been effectively canceled on duality demands.
The OMB Memo “inspires the Congress’s Democrats to” indicate that they intend to break this bipartisan tendency and close the government in the coming days, which are in a series of crazy demands including $ 1 trillion in new expenses. “
Memo said, “The administration supports the passage of the Senate of HR 5371, but the Congress’s Democrats are currently blocking this clean CR due to their partial demands,” said Memo. “In this way, it has never been more important to be prepared for a shutdown for administration if the Democrats choose to pursue one.”
