Mandate
Mandate Ch. 1 (White House Office) — Domestic Policy Council: establish an economic opportunity working group chaired by the DPC Director; promote health care reform to bring down costs and federal budget pressure; DPC should coordinate with the NSC on a policy agenda to enhance border security.
Undo plan
1) Rebuild DPC working groups around published statutory goals (coverage, affordability, asylum processing capacity)—not opaque political task forces.
2) Restore HHS/CMS analytic capacity and public cost/coverage baselines before major health EOs.
3) Keep border policy in lawful DHS/DOJ channels with DPC/NSC coordination that preserves asylum and due-process obligations.
4) Require APA-compliant rulemaking and congressional appropriations for durable health and border changes.
5) Verify: coverage and wait-time metrics; border processing capacity and legal-access indicators; budget baselines republished.
