On Government Reform: Imposed USDA-wide job freeze and cuts

Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy imposed a department-wide job freeze and announced that he will cut the department's Washington bureaucracy before he approves a reduction in field offices. He also plans to address the recent problems with tainted beef. The job freeze, which was not publicly announced, came on Espy's first day in office, Jan. 22, and was coupled with his promise to review a George Bush Administration plan to close more than 1,200 Agriculture offices outside Washington.
