"Federal CIOs say they expect President George W. Bush to bring significant 
changes to the $40 billion federal IT operation, including expanded online 
government initiatives, a move toward centralized control of IT management

18%) so this is no surprise.  maybe new contract employment will offset the 
massive layoffs, moving private sector jobs into public.  how weird is that?
