PALM BEACH, Florida, Nov 14 (Reuters) - U.S.

President-Elect Donald Trump said on Thursday that a government

efficiency panel headed up by billionaire Tesla CEO

Elon Musk will issue reports in its work to streamline the U.S.

government.

"They will be coming out with individual reports and a big

one at the end," Trump said in a speech at his Mar-a-Lago resort

in Florida, providing the first new detail on the panel's output

since it was announced earlier this week.

Trump on Tuesday said the panel would "provide advice and

guidance from outside of government," on slimming down the

government, cutting regulations, reducing spending and

restructuring federal agencies.

Trump, for example, wants to sharply cut the "deep state" -

career federal employees he says are clandestinely pursuing

their own agendas.

Trump and Musk have suggested the panel will make dramatic

cuts. However the U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power

over the federal budget. Congress can take or disregard advice

from outside panels like the proposed efficiency group.

In an effort to be transparent, Musk said the panel will

post its "actions" for public comment.
