What the document says

“This includes halting all current hiring to prevent the “burrowing in” of outgoing political personnel.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 208

The chapter asks that the President-elect choose a Deputy Director who needs no Senate confirmation and can begin implementing the President's agenda immediately, including by halting all current hiring so that outgoing political personnel cannot convert into permanent posts. It says additional appointees should be placed in the agency as needed.

What the document actually says

“This includes halting all current hiring to prevent the “burrowing in” of outgoing political personnel.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 208
That sentence, in plain words

That means stopping all hiring at once. It keeps the last team from digging in.

What this is about

When a president leaves, some of his staff seek permanent jobs. Those jobs are hard to remove people from. The book says hiring should stop at once.

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.
