Carter was in office 1976 -1980.
It was created in 1979 when the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 went into effect under President Jimmy Carter.

Most serve at the pleasure of the executive. Unfortunately few to no past executives have exercised that authority!
Protocol-wise they are the equivalent of military flag officers.
Yep. Thanks. I mis-typed. I had 1988 in mind because of Sessions.
In my opinion, the creation of SES, which has globalist ties to parallel organizations in foreign nations (such as NGO Serco in the UK), soon before Carter coerced France into accommodating the Ayatollah, resulting in the catastrophic fall of Iran, is directly or indirectly related to the prior establishment of this quasi-autonomous, quasi-secretive government within a government.
Maybe that was merely coinicidental, or maybe it helped Carter do things outside normal governmental avenues to get the globalist result he wanted.
