There are 11 parts of the Executive Office of the President, and the White House Office is among 4 components that have sent furlough notices to their staff. The others are the Office of the Vice President, the Office of Management and Budget and the Council on Environmental Quality.
Each division has a separate budget and has been managing sequester cuts in a variety of ways including pay cuts, hiring slow-downs, scaling-back supplies and equipment purchases, curtailing staff travel and reducing the use of air cards and subscriptions, an administration official said.
The next furlough period for White House staff hasn’t been set, said the official, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
