Record dateThe closure instruction includes uninterrupted delivery.
Send Education back to the STATES!
Program teams asked which organization would receive the uninterrupted work.
Close the Department, keep the Good Things, very simple until Washington explains all the Complicated..... they invented half the Complicated so somebody could have an Office.
The transfer plan still requires the powers to transfer it.
I want very Goodly Learning, not a bigger Headquarters.
