Executive Office of the President: Executive Orders
Two significant executive orders have been issued. The first, titled "Immediate Measures To Increase American Mineral Production," aims to boost domestic mineral production by easing regulations and encouraging private investment. This order involves various government departments in identifying suitable lands for mineral production. The second order, "Stopping Waste, Fraud, and Abuse by Eliminating Information Silos," seeks to improve government efficiency by removing barriers to data sharing among federal agencies. It mandates agency heads to facilitate access to unclassified data and promote inter-agency sharing to prevent duplication and improve the government's ability to detect and eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse.
