Please engage with at least one question, or feel free to make up your own question and engage with it:
1. Do you see any similarities between the intelligence agencies and the OMB? The similarities can be cultural, organizational, personnel-related, or something else.
2. What is the central source of internal cultural tension at OMB? What solutions have been proposed, and how might they be seen as successes or failures?
3. The readings this week state that the OMB works for the President, but also states that the office is staunchly neutral and nonpartisan. How can both of those things be true at the same time?
please only answer one of the options and indicate which one
attached is the lecture and reading to help with the questions
