MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

I transmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1966, prepared

in accordance with the Reorganization Act of 1949, as amended, and

providing for reorganization of health functions of the Department

of Health, Education, and Welfare.

Today we face new challenges and unparalleled opportunities in

the field of health. Building on the progress of the past several

years, we have truly begun to match the achievements of our

medicine to the needs of our people.

The task ahead is immense. As a nation, we will unceasingly

pursue our research and learning, our training and building, our

testing and treatment. But now our concern must also turn to the

organization of our Federal health programs.

As citizens we are entitled to the very best health services our

resources can provide.

As taxpayers, we demand the most efficient and economic health

organizations that can be devised.

I ask the Congress to approve a reorganization plan to bring new

strength to the administration of Federal health programs.

I propose a series of changes in the organization of the Public

Health Service that will bring to all Americans a structure modern

in design, more efficient in operation and better prepared to meet

the great and growing needs of the future. Through such

improvements we can achieve the full promise of the landmark health

legislation enacted by the 89th Congress.

I do not propose these changes lightly. They follow a period of

careful deliberation. For many months the Secretary of Health,

Education, and Welfare, and the Surgeon General have consulted

leading experts in the Nation - physicians, administrators,

scientists, and public health specialists. They have confirmed my

belief that modernization and reorganization of the Public Health

Service are urgently required and long overdue.

The Public Health Service is an operating agency of the

Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. It is the principal

arm of the Federal Government in the field of health. Its programs

are among those most vital to our well-being.

Since 1953 more than 50 new programs have been placed in the

Public Health Service. Its budget over the past 12 years has

increased tenfold - from $250 million to $2.4 billion.

Today the organization of the Public Health Service is clearly

obsolete. The requirement that new and expanding programs be

administered through an organizational structure established by law

more than two decades ago stands as a major obstacle to the

fulfillment of our Nation's health goals.

As presently constituted, the Public Health Service is composed

of four major components:

National Institutes of Health.

Bureau of State Services.

Bureau of Medical Services.

Office of the Surgeon General.

Under present law, Public Health Service functions must be assigned

only to these four components.

This structure was designed to provide separate administrative

arrangements for health research, programs of State and local aid,

health services, and executive staff resources. At a time when

these functions could be neatly compartmentalized, the structure

was adequate. But today the situation is different.

Under recent legislation many new programs provide for an

integrated attack on specific disease problems or health hazards in

the environment by combining health services, State and local aid,

and research. Each new program of this type necessarily is assigned

to one of the three operating components of the Public Health

Service. Yet none of these components is intended to administer

programs involving such a variety of approaches.

Our health problems are difficult enough without having them

complicated by outmoded organizational arrangements.

But if we merely take the step of integrating the four agencies

within the Public Health Service we will not go far enough. More is

required.

III

The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare performs major

health or health-related functions which are not carried out

through the Public Health Service, although they are closely

related to its functions. Among these are:

Health insurance for the aged, administered through the Social

Security Administration;

Medical assistance for the needy, administered through the

Welfare Administration;

Regulation of the manufacture, labeling, and distribution of

drugs, carried out through the Food and Drug Administration; and

Grants-in-aid to States for vocational rehabilitation of the

handicapped, administered by the Vocational Rehabilitation

Administration.

Expenditures for health and health-related programs of the

Department administered outside the Public Health Service have

increased from $44 million in 1953 to an estimated $5.4 billion in

1967.

As the head of the Department, the Secretary of Health,

Education, and Welfare is responsible for the Administration and

coordination of all the Department's health functions. He has clear

authority over the programs I have just mentioned.

But today he lacks this essential authority over the Public

Health Service. The functions of that agency are vested in the

Surgeon General and not in the Secretary.

This diffusion of responsibility is unsound and unwise.

To secure the highest possible level of health services for the

American people the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare

must be given the authority to establish - and modify as necessary

- the organizational structure for Public Health Service programs.

He must also have the authority to coordinate health functions

throughout the Department. The reorganization plan I propose will

accomplish these purposes. It will provide the Secretary with the

flexibility to create new and responsive organizational

arrangements to keep pace with the changing and dynamic nature of

our health programs.

My views in this respect follow a basic principle of good

government set by the Hoover Commission in 1949 when it recommended

that "the Department head should be given authority to determine

the organization within his Department."

In summary, the reorganization plan would:

Transfer to the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare the

functions now vested in the Surgeon General of the Public Health

Service and in its various subordinate units (this transfer will

not affect certain statutory advisory bodies such as the National

Advisory Cancer and Heart Councils);

Abolish the four principal statutory components of the Public

Health Service, including the offices held by their heads (the

Bureau of Medical Services, the Bureau of State Services, the

National Institutes of Health exclusive of its several research

institutes such as the National Cancer and Heart Institutes, and

the Office of the Surgeon General); and

Authorize the Secretary to assign the functions transferred to

him by the plan to officials and entities of the Public Health

Service and to other agencies of the Department as he deems

appropriate.

Thus, the Secretary would be -

Enabled to assure that all health functions of the Department

are carried out as effectively and economically as possible;

Given authority commensurate with his responsibility; and

Made responsible in fact for matters for which he is now, in

any case, held accountable by the President, the Congress, and

the people.

I have found, after investigation, that each reorganization

included in the accompanying reorganization plan is necessary to

accomplish one or more of the purposes set forth in section 2(a) of

the Reorganization Act of 1949, as amended.

Should the reorganizations in the accompanying reorganization

plan take effect, they will make possible more effective and

efficient administration of the affected health programs. It is,

however, not practicable at this time to itemize the reductions in

expenditures which may result.

I strongly recommend that the Congress allow the reorganization

plan to become effective.

-STATUTE-

(a) Original appointments to Regular and Reserve Corps; limitation

(1) Except as provided in subsections (b) and (e) of this

section, original appointments to the Regular Corps may be made

chief warrant officer (W-3), chief warrant officer (W-4), junior

assistant, assistant, and senior assistant grades and original

appointments to a grade above junior assistant shall be made only

after passage of an examination, given in accordance with

branches of medicine, dentistry, hygiene, sanitary engineering,

pharmacy, psychology, nursing, or related scientific specialties in

the field of public health.

(2) Original appointments to the Reserve Corps may be made to any

of an examination given in accordance with regulations of the

President. Reserve commissions shall be for an indefinite period

and may be terminated at any time, as the President may direct.

(3) No individual who has attained the age of forty-four shall be

appointed to the Regular Corps, or called to active duty in the

Reserve Corps for a period in excess of one year, unless (A) he has

had a number of years of active service (as defined in section

212(d) of this title) equal to the number of years by which his age

exceeds forty-four, or (B) the Surgeon General determines that he

possesses exceptional qualifications, not readily available

elsewhere in the Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service,

for the performance of special duties with the Service, or (C) in

the case of an officer of the Reserve Corps, the Commissioned Corps

the Regular Corps authorized to be made during any fiscal year may

be made to grades above that of senior assistant, but no such

appointment (other than an appointment under section 205 of this

title) may be made to a grade above that of director. For the

purpose of this subsection the number of original appointments

authorized to be made during a fiscal year shall be (1) the excess

of the number of officers of the Regular Corps authorized by the

appropriation Act or Acts for such year over the number of officers

on active duty in the Regular Corps on the first day of such year,

plus (2) the number of such officers of the Regular Corps who,

during such fiscal year, have been or will be retired upon

attainment of age sixty-four or have for any other reason ceased to

be on active duty. In determining the number of appointments

authorized by this subsection an appointment shall be deemed to be

made in the fiscal year in which the nomination is transmitted by

the President to the Senate.

(2) In addition to the number of original appointments to the

Regular Corps authorized by paragraph (1) to be made to grades

above that of senior assistant, original appointments authorized to

be made to the Regular Corps in any year may be made to grades

(ii) was on such active duty continuously for not less than one

year immediately prior to such date, and (iii) applies for

appointment to the Regular Corps prior to July 1, 1962; or

(B) does not come within clause (A)(i) and (ii) but was on

active duty in the Reserve Corps continuously for not less than

one year immediately prior to his appointment to the Regular

Corps and has not served on active duty continuously for a

period, occurring after June 30, 1960, of more than three and

one-half years prior to applying for such appointment.

(3) No person shall be appointed pursuant to this subsection

Services.

(d) Date of appointment; credit for service

(1) For purposes of basic pay and for purposes of promotion, any

person appointed under subsection (a) of this section to the grade

of senior assistant in the Regular Corps, and any person appointed

Three years if appointed to the senior assistant grade, ten years

if appointed to the full grade, seventeen years if appointed to the

senior grade, and eighteen years if appointed to the director

grade.

(2) For purposes of basic pay, any person appointed under

subsection (a) of this section to the grade of senior assistant in

the Regular Corps, and any person appointed under subsection (b) of

this section, shall, in lieu of the credit provided in paragraph

(1) of this subsection, be credited with the service for which he

is entitled to credit under any other provision of law if such

service exceeds that to which he would be entitled under such

paragraph.

(3) For purposes of promotion, any person originally appointed in

the Regular Corps to the senior assistant grade or above who has

had active service in the Reserve Corps shall be considered as

having had on the date of appointment the length of service

provided for in paragraph (1) of this subsection, plus whichever of

the following is greater: (A) The excess of his total active

service in the Reserve Corps (above the grade of junior assistant)

over the length of service provided in such paragraph, to the

extent that such excess is on account of service in the Reserve

Corps in or above the grade to which he is appointed in the Regular

Corps or (B) his active service in the same or any higher grade in

the Reserve Corps after the first day on which, under regulations

in effect on the date of his appointment to the Regular Corps, he

would have had the training and experience necessary for such

appointment.

(4) For purposes of promotion, any person whose original

appointment is to the assistant grade in the Regular Corps shall be

considered as having had on the date of appointment service equal

to his total active service in the Reserve Corps in and above the

assistant grade.

(e) Reappointment; credit for service

(1) A former officer of the Regular Corps may, if application for

appointment is made within two years after the date of the

termination of his prior commission in the Regular Corps, be

reappointed to the Regular Corps without examination, except as the

Surgeon General may otherwise prescribe, and without regard to the

numerical limitations of subsection (b) of this section.

(2) Reappointments pursuant to this subsection may be made to the

permanent grade held by the former officer at the time of the

termination of his prior commission, or to the next higher grade if

such officer meets the eligibility requirements prescribed by

regulation for original appointment to such higher grade. For

purposes of pay, promotion, and seniority in grade, such

reappointed officer shall receive the credits for service to which

he would be entitled if such appointment were an original

appointment, but in no event less than the credits he held at the

time his prior commission was terminated, except that if such

officer is reappointed to the next higher grade he shall receive no

credit for seniority in grade.

(3) No former officer shall be reappointed pursuant to this

subsection unless he shall meet such standards as the Secretary may

prescribe.

fellowships under conditions prescribed therein, and may be

assigned for studies or investigations either in this country or

abroad during the terms of their fellowships.

(h) Aliens

Persons who are not citizens may be employed as consultants

pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and may be appointed to

fellowships pursuant to subsection (g) of this section. Unless

otherwise specifically provided, any prohibition in any other Act

against the employment of aliens, or against the payment of

compensation to them, shall not be applicable in the case of

persons employed or appointed pursuant to such subsections.

(i) Civil service appointments by Secretary

The appointment of any officer or employee of the Service made in

accordance with the civil-service laws shall be made by the

Secretary, and may be made effective as of the date on which such

REFERENCES IN TEXT

The civil-service laws, referred to in subsecs. (f), (g), and

(i), are set out in Title 5, Government Organization and Employees.

See, particularly, section 3301 et seq. of Title 5.

CODIFICATION

In subsec. (f), the words "and their compensation may be fixed

without regard to the Classification Act of 1923, as amended", and

in subsec. (g), the words "and compensated without regard to the

Classification Act of 1923, as amended" were omitted as obsolete.

Sections 1202 and 1204 of the Classification Act of 1949, 63 Stat.

972, 973, repealed the 1923 Act and all laws or parts of laws

inconsistent with the 1949 Act. While section 1106(a) of the 1949

Act provided that references in other laws to the 1923 Act should

be held and considered to mean the 1949 Act, it did not have the

effect of continuing the exceptions contained in subsecs. (f) and

(g) because of section 1106(b) which provided that the application

of the 1949 Act to any position, officer, or employee shall not be

affected by section 1106(a). The Classification Act of 1949 was

repealed by Pub. L. 89-554, Sept. 6, 1966, Sec. 8(a), 80 Stat. 632

(of which section 1 revised and enacted Title 5, Government

Organization and Employees, into law). Section 5102 of Title 5

contains the applicability provisions of the 1949 Act, and section

5103 of Title 5 authorizes the Office of Personnel Management to

determine the applicability to specific positions and employees.

In subsec. (h), the references to subsections (f) and (g) of this

section were, in the original, references to subsections (e) and

(f) and were changed to reflect the probable intent of Congress.
