“Almost every one of the agencywide policies that cover DDI’s areas of responsibility will need to be edited or rewritten entirely as soon as possible.”

What has happened

Aug 28, 2026 Not started
None of the agencywide policies covering DDI's areas of responsibility was edited or rewritten. Cluster negative search A: "Automated Directives System" and "Bureau for Democracy, Development, and Innovation" both return 0 Federal Register documents in the window; USAID has no active entry in the current Unified Agenda on reginfo.gov, so no rewrite is even planned; and the only in-window rulemaking that lists USAID among its agencies is OMB's government-wide Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance proposal of 2026-05-29 (FR 2026-10817), which is grants guidance, not USAID policy. The policies ceased to apply when the agency ceased to operate; the Quote asks for them to be rewritten, and a policy that lapses unread has not been rewritten.
- USAID notice, Freedom of Information Act "Still Interested" Inquiry — records "the ongoing reorganization of USAID operations in 2025, including the transition of certain foreign assistance functions to the Department of State and a reduction-in-force of nearly all USAID personnel"

Research notes

Leveled not started where #725 is partial, because #725’s Quote accepts withdrawal as an outcome and this one does not: it asks only that the policies be “edited or rewritten entirely”. Recorded in Judgment calls.
