Risks & tensions

  • Energy and Climate Change advisor position eliminated from NEC/DPC but CEQ Chair added; may represent institutional downgrade of climate policy within White House structure
  • No explicit transition plan for Health Reform Office functions or staff
  • Faith-Based Council reestablishment continues Obama-era initiative with 2-year sunset, suggesting provisional rather than permanent commitment
