If the Obama administration plans on making federal employees more than just overhead, it will start to make changes with its submission to Congress of the 2010 budget in less than a month.

Gould also teamed up with Harvard professor Linda Bilmes to co-author a book calling for radical changes to the federal human capital system.

FederalNewsRadio's Jason Miller has details of the changes the book calls for.
