Give the OPM Director a place in the Cabinet
What the document says“If "personnel is policy" is to be our general guide, it would make sense to give the President direct supervision of the bureaucracy with the OPM Director available in his Cabinet.”
Stated as something that would make sense rather than as a demand: direct presidential supervision of the bureaucracy, with the OPM Director available in the Cabinet.
What the document actually says“If "personnel is policy" is to be our general guide, it would make sense to give the President direct supervision of the bureaucracy with the OPM Director available in his Cabinet.”
If who you hire decides what gets done, the president should watch over the workforce himself. The head of OPM should sit with him in the Cabinet.
OPM is the agency that runs hiring and pay for the whole government. The book says it would make sense for its head to sit in the Cabinet. That would put the president closer to the people who run the workforce.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. Nothing indexed here places the OPM Director in the Cabinet. The chapter frames this as something that would make sense rather than as a demand. 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.
