Federal Workers: How is your agency planning for sequestration?

It's looking increasingly likely that the across-the-board spending cuts known as sequestration will hit defense and domestic agencies across government on March 1. Agencies are deep in planning for the cuts, which are likely to affect many public services.

You can be a valuable source for the Post's federal agency reporting. We're looking for the view on the ground -- how the cuts will impact plans at your agency. Your comments may appear in an upcoming story about sequestration.

Questions? Email the Post's PIN coordinator Caitlin Dewey at caitlin.dewey@washpost.com. Thanks!
