What the document says

“it would make sense for GSA and OPM leadership and staff to hold regular meetings to work through matters of common interest”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 78

Regular meetings between GSA and OPM leadership on the Presidential Transition Act's personnel restrictions and the relationship between contract and civil service employees. The chapter records that it opposes a merger of OPM, GSA and OMB, which it says fortunately did not take place in that form.

What the document actually says

“it would make sense for GSA and OPM leadership and staff to hold regular meetings to work through matters of common interest”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 78
That sentence, in plain words

It would make sense for the leaders and staff of GSA and OPM to meet often. They could work through problems they both share.

What this is about

GSA rents buildings and buys things for the government. It also handles most of the contractors. The book says GSA and OPM should meet often. They share the same problems about contractors and about handing power to a new president.

Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. Nothing indexed here records regular meetings between GSA and OPM leadership. An arrangement of that kind would not ordinarily be published in the Federal Register, so its absence from this record is weak evidence either way. 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.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against 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.
