#3 Getting rid of the appointees and strap-hanging contractors is certainly a healthy beginning. The virus that haunts the institution and it's parent company in McLean will take much time and be more difficult to deal with.

#5 It may be dawning on some of them with a party line vote in Congress Civil Service Tenure can be wiped out. Or if a stroke of the pen made them Civil Service a stroke of the pen could unmake them.

#12 Take a look at the HR files and get rid of the ones who started between Jan 20, 2009 and Trump's assumption of office.

Then any leftovers from Jan 20, 1993 to Jan 20, 2001.

Then carefully vet any leftovers from Jan. 20 2001 to Jan 20, 2009.
