Hi everyone, Please see the trailing messages from Lenise to the Chief and Deputy Chief's about the agency reform and restructure plan that is due to the Department by July 12th. Since we won't have a COS meeting Tuesday, June 27th, it might be useful for us to meet during that time to discuss this ask. If you all will be around and are agreeable, I'll send out an invite.
Thanks,

Colleagues- please see note below that I shared with the Chief and Angela earlier this week. I now have some ideas about what we should put forward including
(b)(5) Deliberative Process Privilege
| I am going to need your help thinking this through, vetting ideas and getting the proposals in the proper format. This is due to the Dept. July 12, and having the NLC next week really challenges us to have time together to think and talk about this request. Andria will share the template for proposals with your Chiefs of Staff. Meanwhile I have attached the re-shaping "framework" we worked on together a few weeks ago in case it stimulates some more ideas for what we should go forward with.

Strategic Goal 1: Ensure USDA programs are delivered efficiently, effectively, and with integrity. Strategic Goal 6: Ensure productive and sustainable use of our National Forest System Lands. 5. Proposal-at-a-Glance
6. Description National Forests were originally envisioned as working forests with multiple objectives to improve and protect the forest, secure favorable watershed conditions, and to furnish a continuous supply of timber for use by citizens of the United States. During the post-World War II housing boom, national forests were viewed as a ready supply of building material resulting in high volume outputs that peaked in the 1980s. This era had a significant influence on our forest management culture and associated internal direction that persists to this day.
