                Executive Order 14238 of March 14, 2025

                
Continuing the Reduction of the Federal 
                Bureaucracy

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, it is hereby ordered:

                Section 1. Purpose. This order continues the reduction 
                in the elements of the Federal bureaucracy that the 
                President has determined are unnecessary.

                Sec. 2. Reducing the Scope of the Federal Bureaucracy.

                    (a) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this 
                section, the non-statutory components and functions of 
                the following governmental entities shall be eliminated 
                to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law, 
                and such entities shall reduce the performance of their 
                statutory functions and associated personnel to the 
                minimum presence and function required by law:

(i) the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service;

(ii) the United States Agency for Global Media;

(iii) the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in the 
Smithsonian Institution;

(iv) the Institute of Museum and Library Services;

(v) the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness;

(vi) the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund; and

(vii) the Minority Business Development Agency.

                    (b) Within 7 days of the date of this order, the 
                head of each governmental entity listed in subsection 
                (a) of this section shall submit a report to the 
                Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
                confirming full compliance with this order and 
                explaining which components or functions of the 
                governmental entity, if any, are statutorily required 
                and to what extent.
                    (c) In reviewing budget requests submitted by the 
                governmental entities listed in subsection (a) of this 
                section, the Director of the Office of Management and 
                Budget or the head of any executive department or 
                agency charged with reviewing grant requests by such 
                entities shall, to the extent consistent with 
                applicable law and except insofar as necessary to 
                effectuate an expected termination, reject funding 
                requests for such governmental entities to the extent 
                they are inconsistent with this order.

                Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order 
                shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department, agency, or the 
head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

                    (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with 
                applicable law and subject to the availability of 
                appropriations.

                    (c) This order is not intended to, and does not, 
                create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, 
                enforceable at law or in equity by any party against 
                the United States, its departments, agencies, or 
                entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any 
                other person.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    March 14, 2025.
