Thanks for leading and working on this critical issue. As a retired federal manager and executive I believe issues with the federal workforce, from the role of political appointees leading agencies to issues with both the Senior Executive Service and Civil Service are part of a set of constraints preventing the United States Government from providing the services citizens need, in ways they expect, at a reasonable cost. Reform is long overdue, and I fully endorse the statement your group has drafted.
Fancis Fukayama and Norman Orenstein's names I recognize. What other right wing moles are in this group? It seems they have already been successful in torpedoing job security-- there is no mention of the need for retaining the institutional memory the long-time workers have developed. Nor is there a mention of hiring based on demonstrated skills and knowledge, which suggests that they will be promoting the sort of nepotism displayed by Cheny/Bush's "administration" of Iraq.
