About the PMS

The Presidential Management Staff (PMS) became "the PMS" as it known today on 08 July 1976,

the PMS was given a fresh mandate to serve the Presidency as the President's primary technical arm. (EO 130, 30 January 1987)

for providing technical assistance and advice to the President in exercising
