Obama, Let's Play Together
President Obama wants 11 federal agencies working international trade to play together. They're the guinea pigs in a wider program to reduce duplication across the government. Each agency must prepare descriptions of what it does. The Office of Management and Budget will compile an inventory so it can sort who should do what. The 11 trade agencies each have until February 1 to designate a senior official to oversee the reporting. OMB plans to issue a detailed timeline for the de-duplication effort.

It's a start. I'm frustrated he's waited this long.
You can bet most of these agencies will get together and discuss each one to make sure that any and all duplications don't show up in the reports.
They'll do this because they'll know or think their job is on the line, and it should be!
There's way too much duplication in services!
They first should go after all of those who aren't doing their jobs. That would be the best place to start!
Obama must go.
The GAO had a report out in 2011, stating that if duplicity in the Federal Gov't was eliminated, it'd save 200-400 billion, ANNUALLY. Obama is part of the problem.
Really? Obama created the duplicities?
