Elaine Kamarck , now a senior fellow in Governance Studies at Brookings , says the program was the longest-running program in the nation's history.

Clinton 's government cutting received its share of criticism, sparking frustrations when the program chose to close many regional offices deemed to be obsolete and incompatible with advancements in electronic communications.

Kamarck conceded that they didn't win every fight, but they fell short on civil service reform without an advocate in Congress .
