Split OMB's budget offices to create more political appointee slots
What the document says“the existing six RMOs should be divided into smaller subject-matter areas, allowing for more PADs, and each of these PADs should have a Deputy PAD.”
The chapter states that because each of OMB's six Resource Management Offices covers a wide range of policy, many granular decisions fall to career staff who serve across Administrations. It proposes splitting them into smaller subject areas so there can be more political appointees, each with a political deputy.
What the document actually says“the existing six RMOs should be divided into smaller subject-matter areas, allowing for more PADs, and each of these PADs should have a Deputy PAD.”
The six budget teams should be split into smaller ones. That makes room for more political staff. Each one should get a deputy too.
Six teams inside the budget office watch over spending. Each covers a lot of ground. So career staff end up making many calls. The book says to split the teams up. Then more political staff can be put in charge.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. Nothing indexed comes close. No candidate reorganizes the Office of Management and Budget or creates new Program Associate Director positions. The internal structure of OMB's Resource Management Offices is set by the agency itself and does not produce a published document. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
