White House establishes guidelines for Cabinet notifications following Austin's hospitalization controversy
Fox News
The White House has established guidelines for Cabinet heads' delegation of duties in the wake of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's secret hospitalization.
Following the communications fiasco — and even some calls for Austin to resign — the White House conducted a review, asking each Cabinet department for its notification process before revealing its new guidelines Friday.
The guidelines, obtained by Fox News, include notifying the offices of cabinet affairs and White House chief of staff, "when agencies anticipate or are preparing for a delegation of authority and again when the delegation occurs," documenting in writing that the delegation of authority is in effect and the acting authority needs to contact its counterpart in the White House, according to a memo from White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients sent to Cabinet Secretaries.
