Recruit into term-limited Schedule A positions, especially veterans

“USAID should be one of the agencies to pilot-test a reinstated Executive Order 13957, which created a Schedule F within the Excepted Service, and should aggressively recruit and place candidates into term-limited positions under Schedule A of the Excepted Service (especially veterans).”
What has happened
- Not started
USAID notified Congress on 2025-03-28 that it would realign some functions to the State Department by 1 July 2025 and discontinue the rest, and on 2025-07-01 the Secretary of State announced that USAID officially ceased implementing foreign assistance. USAID was never named as a pilot agency for the reinstated Executive Order 13957 and made no Schedule A term-limited recruitment drive; both halves of the Quote are unsatisfied. Cluster negative search A in docs/research/ch-09.md (round 3, ticket 11, batch 11b) covers this item: Federal Register full text for the named object over the whole window, the state.gov sitemap URL list (68,040 URLs), and the 119th-Congress nomination record.
- Secretary Rubio press statement: On Delivering an America First Foreign Assistance Program - notice to Congress of the USAID reorganization, realigning some functions to State by 1 July 2025 and discontinuing the rest
- Marco Rubio, "Making Foreign Aid Great Again" (State Department Spanish text): from 1 July 2025 USAID officially ceases to implement foreign assistance, which passes to the Department of State

Research notes
- Executive Order 14171 of 2025-01-20 reinstated the substance of Executive Order 13957 government-wide and the Schedule Policy/Career final rule followed on 2026-02-06 - the record of a related item researched on this printed page (#125, Chapter 1 p. 271). Neither names USAID as a pilot agency, and neither is about Schedule A, which is the object of this Quote, so on the rule that progress is measured on this ask, not an adjacent one, they do not move it.
