Eliminating the Federal Executive Institute

Executive Order 14207 of February 10, 2025

Eliminating the Federal Executive Institute

By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, including section 301 of title 3, United
States Code, and section 4117 of title 5, United States
Code, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. Purpose and Policy. It is the policy of the
United States to treat taxpayer dollars responsibly and
advance unifying priorities like a stronger and safer
America. Accordingly, it is the policy of my
Administration to eliminate, to the greatest extent
permitted by law, executive departments and agencies
and programs that do not directly benefit the American
people or further our Nation's interests.

In particular, the Federal Executive Institute, which
was created by the Administration of President Lyndon
B. Johnson more than 50 years ago, is a Government
program purportedly designed to provide leadership
training to bureaucrats. But bureaucratic leadership
over the past half-century has led to Federal policies
that enlarge and entrench the Washington, DC,
managerial class, a development that has not benefited
the American family. The Federal Executive Institute
should therefore be eliminated to refocus Government on
serving taxpayers, competence, and dedication to our
Constitution, rather than serving the Federal
bureaucracy.

Sec. 2. Elimination of the Federal Executive Institute.
(a) The Director of the Office of Personnel Management
shall take all necessary steps to eliminate the Federal
Executive Institute, in accordance with applicable law.

(b) All prior Presidential or other executive
branch documents establishing or requiring the
existence of the Federal Executive Institute, including
the Presidential Memorandum of May 9, 1968, regarding
the Federal Executive Institute, and any applicable
provisions of Executive Order 11348 of April 20, 1967
(Providing for the Further Training of Government
Employees), are hereby revoked.

Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order
shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department, agency, or the
head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with
applicable law and subject to the availability of
appropriations.

(c) This order is not intended to, and does not,
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity by any party against
the United States, its departments, agencies, or
entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
other person.

THE WHITE HOUSE,
