White House Asks for List of Programs That Would Be Impacted If Shutdown Drags On

A senior official at the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) said the Trump administration has requested a list of programs that could be affected if the current government shutdown persists, reports CNBC . Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney asked for the list to include programs that would be impacted if the shutdown continued into March and April. The OMB official stated that "prudent management means planning and preparing for events without known end-dates. As OMB continues to manage this partial lapse in appropriations, unfunded agencies are being asked to continue to share with OMB an ongoing list of programs that could be impacted within the coming weeks."
