Rep. Gerry Connolly urges OPM to reverse the reclassification of federal CIO positions from career-reserve SES to general SES. He argues this change undermines the bipartisan effort on federal IT by politicizing an essential role, requiring long-term strategic planning. Connolly seeks a briefing from OPM on this matter due by March 11, emphasizing the independence necessary for CIOs to manage IT projects effectively without political influence.
