Secretary (identified in the transcript as 'secretary Rollins') opened the press conference, framed USDA as the 'people's department,' and announced a reorganization built on four pillars: align workforce size with financial resources, bring USDA closer to customers, eliminate management layers, and consolidate redundant support functions. She said the next step is to 'right size' USDA's real estate footprint and announced starting the process to turn the South Building back over to GSA, citing over $1 billion in deferred maintenance and heavy vacancy.
