MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

I transmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1953, prepared

in accordance with the provisions of the Reorganization Act of

1949, as amended.

In my message of February 2, 1953, I stated that I would send to

the Congress a reorganization plan defining a new administrative

status for Federal activities in health, education, and social

security. This plan carries out that intention by creating a

Department of Health, Education, and Welfare as one of the

executive departments of the Government and by transferring to it

the various units of the Federal Security Agency. The Department

will be headed by a Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare,

who will be assisted by an Under Secretary and two Assistant

Secretaries.

The purpose of this plan is to improve the administration of the

vital health, education, and social-security functions now being

carried on in the Federal Security Agency by giving them

departmental rank. Such action is demanded by the importance and

magnitude of these functions, which affect the well-being of

millions of our citizens. The programs carried on by the Public

Health Service include, for example, the conduct and promotion of

research into the prevention and cure of such dangerous ailments as

cancer and heart disease. The Public Health Service also

administers payments to the States for the support of their health

services and for urgently needed hospital construction. The Office

of Education collects, analyzes, and distributes to school

administrators throughout the country information relating to the

organization and management of educational systems. Among its other

functions is the provision of financial help to school districts

burdened by activities of the United States Government. State

assistance to the aged, the blind, the totally disabled, and

dependent children is heavily supported by grants-in-aid

administered through the Social Security Administration. The

old-age and survivors insurance system and child development and

welfare programs are additional responsibilities of that

Administration. Other offices of the Federal Security Agency are

responsible for the conduct of Federal vocational rehabilitation

programs and for the enforcement of food and drug laws.

There should be an unremitting effort to improve those health,

education, and social-security programs which have proved their

value. I have already recommended the expansion of the

social-security system to cover persons not now protected, the

continuation of assistance to school districts whose population has

been greatly increased by the expansion of defense activities, and

the strengthening of our food and drug laws.

But good intent and high purpose are not enough; all such

programs depend for their success upon efficient, responsible

administration. I have recently taken action to assure that the

Federal Security Administrator's views are given proper

consideration in executive councils by inviting her to attend

meetings of the Cabinet. Now the establishment of the new

Department provided for in Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1953 will

give the needed additional assurance that these matters will

receive the full consideration they deserve in the whole operation

of the Government.

This need has long been recognized. In 1923, President Harding

proposed a Department of Education and Welfare, which was also to

include health functions. In 1924, the Joint Committee on

Reorganization recommended a new department similar to that

suggested by President Harding. In 1932, one of President Hoover's

reorganization proposals called for the concentration of health,

education, and recreational activities in a single executive

department. The President's Committee on Administrative Management

in 1937 recommended the placing of health, education, and

social-security functions in a Department of Social Welfare. This

recommendation was partially implemented in 1939 by the creation of

the Federal Security Agency - by which action the Congress

indicated its approval of the grouping of these functions in a

single agency. A new department could not be proposed at that time

because the Reorganization Act of 1939 prohibited the creation of

additional executive departments. In 1949, the Commission on

Organization of the Executive Branch of the Government proposed the

creation of a department for social security and education.

The present plan will make it possible to give the officials

directing the Department titles indicative of their

responsibilities and salaries comparable to those received by their

counterparts in other executive departments. As the Under Secretary

of an executive department, the Secretary's principal assistant

will be better equipped to give leadership in the Department's

organization and management activities, for which he will be

primarily responsible. The plan opens the way to further

administrative improvement by authorizing the Secretary to

centralize services and activities common to the several agencies

of the Department. It also established a uniform method of

appointment for the heads of the three major constituent agencies.

At present, the Surgeon General and the Commissioner of Education

are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, while

the Commissioner for Social Security is appointed by the Federal

Security Administrator. Hereafter, all three will be Presidential

appointees subject to Senate confirmation.

I believe, and this plan reflects my conviction, that these

several fields of Federal activity should continue within the

framework of a single department. The plan at the same time assures

that the Office of Education and the Public Health Service retain

the professional and substantive responsibilities vested by law in

those agencies or in their heads. The Surgeon General, the

Commissioner of Education, and the Commissioner of Social Security

will all have direct access to the Secretary.

There should be in the Department an Advisory Committee on

Education, made up of persons chosen by the Secretary from outside

the Federal Government, which would advise the Secretary with

respect to the educational programs of the Department. I recommend

the enactment of legislation authorizing the defrayal of the

expenses of this Committee. The creation of such a Committee as an

advisory body to the Secretary will help insure the maintenance of

responsibility for the public educational system in State and local

governments while preserving the national interest in education

through appropriate Federal action.

After investigation I have found and hereby declare that each

reorganization included in Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1953 is

necessary to accomplish one or more of the purposes set forth in

section 2(a) of the Reorganization Act of 1949, as amended. I have

also found and hereby declare that by reason of these

reorganizations, it is necessary to include in the reorganization

plan provisions for the appointment and compensation of the new

officers specified in sections 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the reorganization

plan. The rates of compensation fixed for these officers are,

respectively, those which I have found to prevail in respect of

comparable officers in the executive branch of the Government.

Although the effecting of the reorganizations provided for in the

reorganization plan will not in itself result in immediate savings,

the improvement achieved in administration will in the future allow

the performance of necessary services at greater savings than

present operations would permit. An itemization of these savings in

advance of actual experience is not practicable.

EX. ORD. NO. 11583. OFFICE OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS

Ex. Ord. No. 11583, Feb. 24, 1971, 36 F.R. 3509, as amended by

Ex. Ord. No. 11595, May 26, 1971, 36 F.R. 9763; Ex. Ord. No. 12608,

Sept. 9, 1987, 52 F.R. 34617, provided:

Consumer protection fosters a market place in which our

competitive economic system flourishes best. It is good for

businessmen because it gives the consumer greater confidence in the

goods and services provided by business. It is good for consumers

because it reinforces the concept of buyers' rights:

- the right to make an intelligent choice among products and

services;

- the right to accurate information on which to make a free

choice;

- the right to expect that the health and safety of the buyer is

taken into account by those who seek his patronage;

- the right to register dissatisfaction, and have a complaint

heard and weighed, when a buyer's interests are badly served.

The Special Assistant to the President for Consumer Affairs is

performing an important role in representing consumer interests in

the Federal Government. It is important that the role of the office

of the Special Assistant be reinforced by increasing its

responsibilities and reemphasizing its importance.

There is need for a consumer office within the Executive Office

of the President, which not only advises and represents the

President on matters of consumer interest, but also analyzes and

coordinates the implementation of all Federal activities in the

field of consumer protection, helping to establish priorities and

resolve conflicts, and recommending ways in which governmental

consumer programs can be made more effective.

NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me as

President of the United States, it is ordered as follows:

Section 1. Office of Consumer Affairs. The Office of Consumer

Affairs (hereinafter referred to as the "Office") is hereby

established in the Executive Office of the President. The Office

shall be headed by a Director, who shall be appointed by the

President, and there shall be in the Office two Deputy Directors

who shall also be appointed by the President. The Deputy Directors

shall perform such duties as the Director may designate, and in

case of a vacancy in the office of Director or during the absence

or incapacity of the Director, the Deputy Directors, in the order

designated by the President, shall act as Director. The Director

and Deputy Directors shall receive compensation at such rates as

the President, consonant with law, may hereafter determine.

Sec. 2. Powers and duties of the Director. (a) The Director shall

be responsible for the exercise of the powers and the discharge of

the duties of the Office, and shall have the authority to direct

and supervise all personnel and activities thereof. The Director

shall take all actions as may be necessary to organize the Office

so as to carry out the functions and to achieve the purposes set

forth in this order.

(b) In addition to any other authority conferred upon him by this

order, the Director is authorized, in carrying out his functions

hereunder, to -

(1) appoint one or more advisory committees composed of such

private citizens and officials of the Federal, State, and local

governments as he deems desirable to advise him with respect to his

functions. Members of such committees (including the Consumer

Advisory Council established in section 5 of this order) other than

those regularly employed by the Federal Government, while attending

meetings of such committees or otherwise serving at the request of

the Director, shall be entitled to receive compensation and travel

expenses as authorized by law for persons serving intermittently;

(2) promulgate such rules, regulations, and procedures as may be

necessary to carry out the functions vested in him or in the

Office, and delegate authority for the performance of any function

to any officer or employee under his direction and supervision;

(3) utilize, with their consent, the services, personnel, and

facilities of other Federal, State, local and private agencies and

instrumentalities with or without reimbursement thereof except as

reimbursement may be required by law; and

(c) The Director shall report periodically to the President on

significant developments affecting the interests of consumers

together with such recommendations including legislative

recommendations as he deems appropriate.

Sec. 3. Functions. (a) The Office shall advise the President as

to all matters affecting the interest of consumers.

(b) The Office shall -

(1) with respect to consumer interests in Federal policies and

programs, encourage and assist in development and implementation of

consumer programs; coordinate and review policies and programs;

seek resolution of conflicts; advise and make recommendations to

Federal agencies with respect to policy matters, the effectiveness

of their programs and operations, and the elimination of

duplications;

(2) assure that the interests of consumers are presented and

considered in a timely manner by the appropriate levels of the

Federal Government in the formulation of policies and in the

operation of programs that affect the consumer interest;

(3) conduct investigations, conferences, and surveys concerning

the needs, interests and problems of consumers, except that it

shall, where feasible, avoid duplicating activities conducted by

other Federal agencies;

(4) submit recommendations to the President on how Federal

programs and activities affecting consumers can be improved;

(5) take action with respect to consumer complaints to the extent

authorized by section 4 of this order;

(6) perform the functions assigned to the President's Committee

on Consumer Interests in Executive Order No. 11566 of October 26,

1970;

(7) encourage and coordinate the development of information of

interest to consumers by Federal agencies and the publication and

distribution of materials which will inform consumers of matters of

interest to them in language which is readily understandable by the

layman;

(8) encourage and coordinate research conducted by Federal

agencies leading to improved consumer products, services, and

consumer information;

(9) encourage, initiate, coordinate, evaluate, and participate in

consumer education programs and consumer counseling programs;

(10) encourage, cooperate with, and assist State and local

governments in the promotion and protection of consumer interests;

and

(11) cooperate with and encourage private enterprise in the

promotion and protection of consumer interest.

Sec. 4. Consumer complaints. (a) Whenever the Office receives

from any source complaints or other information disclosing a

possible violation of (1) any law of the United States or (2) any

rule or order of any Federal agency concerning consumer interests,

the Office shall promptly transmit such complaint or other

information to the Federal agency charged with the duty of

enforcing such law, rule, or order, for appropriate action.

(b) Whenever the Office receives complaints or other information

disclosing any commercial or trade practice which it deems

detrimental to the general interests of consumers within the United

States, and which is not included within the category specified in

subsection (a) of this section, the Office may transmit such

complaint or other information promptly to the Federal, State, or

local agency whose regulatory or other authority provides the most

effective means to act upon them; the Office may in its discretion

also refer such complaint or other information to the private

persons or industry against whom the complaint is made.

Sec. 5. Consumer Advisory Council. (a) There is hereby

established in the Office a Consumer Advisory Council to be

composed of not more than 12 members appointed by the President.

Members shall be appointed on the basis of their knowledge and

experience in areas of interest to consumers and their demonstrated

ability to exercise independent, informed, and critical judgment.

(b)(1) Members shall be appointed for two-year terms. Members of

the Consumer Advisory Council, established pursuant to Executive

Order No. 11136 of January 3, 1964, as amended, shall continue in

office in accordance with the terms of their original appointments.

(2) Any member chosen to fill a vacancy shall be appointed for

the unexpired term of the member he succeeds.

(3) A vacancy in the Council shall not affect its authority to

act, and a majority of the members thereof shall constitute a

quorum.

(c) The President shall designate the Chairman from among the

members composing the Council. The Council shall meet at the call

of the Director. The Director shall be an ex-officio member of the

Council and its Executive Secretary.

(d) The Council shall advise the Director with respect to -

(1) policy matters relating to consumer interests; and

(2) the effectiveness of Federal programs and operations, which

affect the interests of consumers; and
