Plan for INTENTION or ARRANGEMENT.
U.S. President Barack Obama has unveiled his executive action plan to introduce tighter gun controls in the United States.
The word plan is still confusing to me because of two different usage and meanings like INTENTION and ARRANGEMENT.
Here in the sentence, do you think that his executive action plan is to to introduce tighter gun controls in the United States or if it is rewritten, it is like his executive action plan for introducing tighter gun controls in the United States. in meaning?
So my question is whether to do functions as an apposition of his plan or purpose of his plan?
I hope my question is clear to understand and thank you so much as usual in advance.

Hans51So my question is whether to do (to introduce ...) functions as an apposition of his plan or purpose of histo introduce ... controls ... functions grammatically like apposition, I'd say, or rather like a content clause that says what the pplan?plan.
