What the document says

“the NSA should immediately evaluate and eliminate directorates that are not aligned with the President’s agenda”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 51

The chapter says the National Security Advisor should immediately assess the Council's directorates, eliminate those not aligned with the President's agenda and replace them with new ones able to drive his signature national security priorities, assigning named senior officials responsibility for specific initiatives with measurable milestones.

What the document actually says

“the NSA should immediately evaluate and eliminate directorates that are not aligned with the President’s agenda”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 51
That sentence, in plain words

The adviser should look at each team. He should close the ones that do not fit the president's aims.

What this is about

The security council is split into small teams by subject. The book says the new adviser should judge each one. Teams that do not fit the president's plans should be closed. New teams would take their place.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
