We are thankful to the many individuals who shared their time and candid views over the course of this study. We are especially grateful to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management—in particular, Hakeem Basheerud-Deen and Berlyn Cooper-Howard—for their guidance and assistance in the design and execution of this complex research project. We also appreciate reviewers Meredith Kleykamp, Ph.D., Phillip Carter, and several unnamed current and former senior U.S. government officials for their thoughtful and constructive critique of earlier versions of this report.
