On April 22, 2014 DHS Secretary Johnson issued a Department-wide leadership memorandum outlining his plans for addressing some of the Department’s major management and mission challenges. Specifically, the Secretary’s plans involve improving Departmentwide efforts to improve leadership, resource and acquisition investments, strategic planning decisions, and enhancing coordinated operations.
In a letter to Secretary Johnson, Coburn called the memorandum “a critical step to address these challenges and put DHS on track to become an effective agency.”
