Reaffirming information as a top priority would require the administration to move the Program Manager for the Information Sharing Environment into the Executive Office of the President. This would enable the PM-ISE to carry out its statutorily required government-wide authority to coordinate the policies and procedures necessary for an effective information sharing framework, and give the PM-ISE White House backing to carry out its mission. Elevating the PM-ISE into the EOP will ensure that the PM-ISE is able to coordinate across federal, state and local agencies effectively in order to improve the way our government shares information.
