The full document by OSTP, with Dear Leader’s pictures on every page, would make Kim Jong Un blush. The Dear Leader found the Best People, as promised.

The White House on Monday announced that it was assigning Michael Kratsios, a 33-year-old White House chief technology officer, as the head of research and engineering for the entire DoD. Kratsios, who has a bachelor's degree in political science, is replacing Michael Griffin, a former NASA administrator with a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering.

The last CTO of the previous administration was a former VP for business development at Google with M.S. in mechanical engineering from MIT.

Kratsios’s BA senior thesis, on the other hand, was titled “Economics and Voting in the Third Hellenic Republic: An Aggregate and Individual-Level Analysis of the Greek Electorate, 1985-2007”. He is now “leading the administration's efforts on Artificial Intelligence”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Kratsios
