The United States Institute of Peace (USIP) responded to White House Executive Order 14217 by providing the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) with timely information about its statutory requirements.

As an independent, non-profit organization established by Congress, USIP remains committed to cooperating fully with the Administration, ensuring the responsible use of taxpayer funds, aggressively pursuing its ongoing efforts to modernize and make all aspects of its operations more efficient.

USIP consults closely with Congress and the Administration and consistently receives clean audits from independent public accountants for its annual financial statements.

USIP shares the vision President Donald J. Trump outlined in his second inaugural address: “We will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end — and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.”

The Institute provided its response in the spirit of cooperation and comity it exhibited in its work with seven administrations since its founding under President Ronald Reagan.
