CRS Reports – Week of 2-1-25 – DOGE

This week the Congressional Research Service (CRS) published a report on “Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Executive Order: Early Implementation”. It provides a well anotated brief background of the history of the US Digital Service (USDS) formed under President Obama that President Trump has used as the legal framework for the operations of the DOGE. It discusses the three Executive Orders that direct how DOGE will operate and what the organizational objectives are.

There is not a great deal of information on the first two weeks of operation of DOGE, but it does provide a series of questions that Congress would probably want answered about the new agency.

A brief reminder, the CRS serves as a research agency designed to provide background information to members of Congress and their staffs to better inform congressional legislative and oversight efforts.
