The goal of the bill is to make the Federal government more efficient and reduce spending by decreasing the number of employees. Supporters argue that this will lead to a more streamlined and effective government, while opponents are concerned about the potential impact on services and the economy.

If passed, the bill would require agencies to develop plans for reducing their workforce through attrition and report on their progress.
