Sec. 2. Findings and purpose

-STATUTE-

(a) The Congress finds that there are numerous committees,

boards, commissions, councils, and similar groups which have been

established to advise officers and agencies in the executive branch

of the Federal Government and that they are frequently a useful and

beneficial means of furnishing expert advice, ideas, and diverse

opinions to the Federal Government.

(b) The Congress further finds and declares that -

(1) the need for many existing advisory committees has not been

adequately reviewed:

(2) new advisory committees should be established only when

they are determined to be essential and their number should be

kept to the minimum necessary;

(3) advisory committees should be terminated when they are no

longer carrying out the purposes for which they were established;

(4) standards and uniform procedures should govern the

establishment, operation, administration, and duration of

advisory committees;

(5) the Congress and the public should be kept informed with

respect to the number, purpose, membership, activities, and cost

of advisory committees; and

(6) the function of advisory committees should be advisory

only, and that all matters under their consideration should be

determined, in accordance with law, by the official, agency, or

officer involved.

Sec. 15. Requirements relating to the National Academy of Sciences

and the National Academy of Public Administration

-STATUTE-

(a) In General. - An agency may not use any advice or

recommendation provided by the National Academy of Sciences or

National Academy of Public Administration that was developed by use

of a committee created by that academy under an agreement with an

agency, unless -

(1) the committee was not subject to any actual management or

control by an agency or an officer of the Federal Government;

(2) in the case of a committee created after the date of the

enactment of the Federal Advisory Committee Act Amendments of

1997, the membership of the committee was appointed in accordance

with the requirements described in subsection (b)(1); and

(3) in developing the advice or recommendation, the academy

complied with -

(A) subsection (b)(2) through (6), in the case of any advice

or recommendation provided by the National Academy of Sciences;

(B) subsection (b)(2) and (5), in the case of any advice or

recommendation provided by the National Academy of Public

Administration.

(b) Requirements. - The requirements referred to in subsection

(a) are as follows:

(1) The Academy shall determine and provide public notice of

the names and brief biographies of individuals that the Academy

appoints or intends to appoint to serve on the committee. The

Academy shall determine and provide a reasonable opportunity for

the public to comment on such appointments before they are made

or, if the Academy determines such prior comment is not

practicable, in the period immediately following the

appointments. The Academy shall make its best efforts to ensure

that (A) no individual appointed to serve on the committee has a

conflict of interest that is relevant to the functions to be

performed, unless such conflict is promptly and publicly

disclosed and the Academy determines that the conflict is

unavoidable, (B) the committee membership is fairly balanced as

determined by the Academy to be appropriate for the functions to

be performed, and (C) the final report of the Academy will be the

result of the Academy's independent judgment. The Academy shall

require that individuals that the Academy appoints or intends to

(2) The Academy shall determine and provide public notice of

committee meetings that will be open to the public.

described in section 552(b) of title 5, United States Code. The

Academy shall make available to the public, at reasonable charge

if appropriate, written materials presented to the committee by

individuals who are not officials, agents, or employees of the

Academy, unless the Academy determines that making material

available would disclose matters described in that section.

(4) The Academy shall make available to the public as soon as

practicable, at reasonable charge if appropriate, a brief summary

of any committee meeting that is not a data gathering meeting,

unless the Academy determines that the summary would disclose

matters described in section 552(b) of title 5, United States

Code. The summary shall identify the committee members present,

the topics discussed, materials made available to the committee,

and such other matters that the Academy determines should be

included.

(5) The Academy shall make available to the public its final

report, at reasonable charge if appropriate, unless the Academy

determines that the report would disclose matters described in

section 552(b) of title 5, United States Code. If the Academy

determines that the report would disclose matters described in

that section, the Academy shall make public an abbreviated

version of the report that does not disclose those matters.

(6) After publication of the final report, the Academy shall

make publicly available the names of the principal reviewers who

reviewed the report in draft form and who are not officials,

agents, or employees of the Academy.

EX. ORD. NO. 12993. ADMINISTRATIVE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST INSPECTORS

GENERAL

Ex. Ord. No. 12993, Mar. 21, 1996, 61 F.R. 13043, provided:

Certain executive branch agencies are authorized to conduct

investigations of allegations of wrongdoing by employees of the

Federal Government. For certain administrative allegations against

Inspectors General (''IGs'') and, as explained below, against

certain staff members of the Offices of Inspectors General

(''OIGs''), it is desirable to authorize an independent

investigative mechanism.

The Chairperson of the President's Council on Integrity and

Efficiency (''PCIE'') and the Executive Council on Integrity and

Efficiency (''ECIE''), in consultation with members of the

Councils, has established an Integrity Committee pursuant to the

authority granted by Executive Order No. 12805 (31 U.S.C. 501

note).

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution

and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to

ensure that administrative allegations against IGs and certain

staff members of the OIGs are appropriately and expeditiously

investigated and resolved, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. The Integrity Committee. (a) To the extent permitted

by law, and in accordance with this order, the Integrity Committee

shall receive, review, and refer for investigation allegations of

wrongdoing against IGs and certain staff members of the OIGs.

(b) The Integrity Committee shall consist of at least the

following members:

(1) The official of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (''FBI'')

serving on the PCIE, as designated by the Director of the FBI. The

FBI member shall serve as Chair of the Integrity Committee.

(2) The Special Counsel of the Office of Special Counsel;

(3) The Director of the Office of Government Ethics;

(4) Three or more IGs, representing both the PCIE and the ECIE,

appointed by the Chairperson of the PCIE/ECIE.

Division of the Department of Justice, or his designee, shall serve

as an advisor to the Integrity Committee with respect to its

responsibilities and functions in accordance with this order.

Sec. 2. Referral of Allegations. (a) The Integrity Committee

shall review all allegations of wrongdoing it receives against an

IG who is a member of the PCIE or ECIE, or against a staff member

of an OIG acting with the knowledge of the IG or when the

allegation against the staff person is related to an allegation

against the IG, except that where an allegation concerns a member

of the Integrity Committee, that member shall recuse himself from

consideration of the matter.

(b) An IG shall refer any administrative allegation against a

senior staff member to the Integrity Committee when:

(1) review of the substance of the allegation cannot be assigned

to an agency of the executive branch with appropriate jurisdiction

over the matter; and

(2) the IG determines that an objective internal investigation of

the allegation, or the appearance thereof, is not feasible.

substantial likelihood that the allegation, referred to it under

paragraphs (a) or (b) of this section, discloses a violation of any

law, rule or regulation, or gross mismanagement, gross waste of

funds or abuse of authority and shall refer the allegation to the

agency of the executive branch with appropriate jurisdiction over

the matter. However, if a potentially meritorious administrative

allegation cannot be referred to an agency of the executive branch

with appropriate jurisdiction over the matter, the Integrity

Committee shall certify the matter to its Chair, who shall cause a

thorough and timely investigation of the allegation to be conducted

in accordance with this order.

(d) If the Integrity Committee determines that an allegation does

not warrant further action, it shall close the matter without

referral for investigation and notify the Chairperson of the

PCIE/ECIE of its determination.

Sec. 3. Authority to Investigate. (a) The Director of the FBI,

through his designee serving as Chairperson of the Integrity

Committee, is authorized and directed to consider and, where

appropriate, to investigate administrative allegations against the

IGs and, in limited cases as described in sections 2(a) and 2(b)

above, against other staff members of the OIGs, when such

allegations cannot be assigned to another agency of the executive

branch and are referred by the Integrity Committee pursuant to

section 2(c) of this order.

(b) At the request of the Director of the FBI, through his

designee serving as Chairperson, heads of agencies and entities

represented in the PCIE and ECIE may, to the extent permitted by

law, provide resources necessary to the Integrity Committee.

Employees from those agencies and entities will be detailed to the

Integrity Committee, subject to the control and direction of the

Chairperson, to conduct an investigation pursuant to section 2(c):

Provided, that such agencies or entities shall be reimbursed by the

agency or entity employing the subject of the investigation.

Reimbursement for any costs associated with the detail shall be

consistent with applicable law, including but not limited to the

Economy Act (31 U.S.C. 1535 and 1536), and subject to the

availability of funds.

otherwise modify any existing responsibilities and authorities of

any other executive branch agency.

Sec. 4. Results of Investigation. (a) The report containing the

results of the investigation conducted under the supervision of the

Chair of the Integrity Committee shall be provided to the members

of the Integrity Committee for consideration.

(b) With respect to those matters where the Integrity Committee

has referred an administrative allegation to an agency of the

executive branch with appropriate jurisdiction over the matter, the

head of that agency shall provide a report to the Integrity

Committee concerning the scope and results of the inquiry.

under (a) or (b) of this section and determine whether the results

require forwarding of the report, with Integrity Committee

recommendations, to the Chairperson of the PCIE/ECIE for

resolution. If the Integrity Committee determines that the report

requires no further referral or recommendations, it shall so notify

the Chairperson of the PCIE/ECIE.

(d) Where the Chairperson of the PCIE/ECIE determines that

dissemination of the report to the head of the subject's employing

agency or entity is appropriate, the head of the agency or entity

shall certify to the Chairperson of the PCIE/ECIE within sixty 60

(sic) days that he has personally reviewed the report, what action,

if any, has been or is to be taken, and when any action taken will

be completed. The PCIE/ECIE Chairperson may grant the head of the

entity or agency a 30-day extension when circumstances necessitate

such extension.

(e) The Chairperson of the PCIE/ECIE shall report to the

Integrity Committee the final disposition of the matter, including

what action, if any, has been or is to be taken by the head of the

subject's employing agency or entity. When the Integrity Committee

receives notice of the final disposition, it shall advise the

subject of the investigation that the matter referred to the

Integrity Committee for review has been closed.

Sec. 5. Procedures. (a) The Integrity Committee, in conjunction

with the Chairperson of the PCIE/ECIE, shall establish the policies

and procedures necessary to ensure consistency in conducting

investigations and reporting activities under this order.

(b) Such policies and procedures shall specify the circumstances

under which the Integrity Committee, upon review of a complaint

containing allegations of wrongdoing, may determine that an

allegation is without merit and therefore the investigation is

unwarranted. A determination by the Integrity Committee that an

investigation is unwarranted shall be considered the Integrity

Committee's final disposition of the complaint.

other issues related to the handling of allegations against IGs and

others covered by this order.

Sec. 6. Records Maintenance. All records created and received

pursuant to this order are records of the Integrity Committee and

shall be maintained by the FBI.

Sec. 7. Judicial Review. This order is intended only to improve

the internal management of the executive branch and is not intended

to create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,

enforceable at law by a party against the United States, its

agencies, its officers, or any person. William J. Clinton.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

Pursuant to the provisions of the Reorganization Act of 1939

(Public, No. 19, 76th Cong., 1st sess.), approved April 3, 1939, I

herewith transmit Reorganization Plan No. I, which, after

investigation, I have prepared in accordance with the provisions of

section 4 of the act; and I declare that with respect to each

transfer, consolidation, or abolition made in Reorganization Plan

No. I, I have found that such transfer, consolidation, or abolition

is necessary to accomplish one or more of the purposes of section

1(a) of the act.

In these days of ruthless attempts to destroy democratic

government, it is boldly asserted that democracies must always be

weak in order to be democratic at all; and that, therefore, it will

be easy to crush all free states out of existence.

Confident in our Republic's 150 years of successful resistance to

all subversive attempts upon it, whether from without or within,

nevertheless we must be constantly alert to the importance of

keeping the tools of American democracy up to date. It is our

responsibility to make sure that the people's government is in

condition to carry out the people's will, promptly, effectively,

without waste or lost motion.

In 1883 under President Arthur we strengthened the machinery of

democracy by the Civil Service law; beginning in 1905 President

Roosevelt initiated important inquiries into Federal

administration; in 1911 President Taft named the Economy and

Efficiency Commission which made very important recommendations; in

1921 under Presidents Wilson and Harding we tightened up our

budgetary procedure. Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson,

Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover in succession strongly recommended

the rearrangement of Federal administrative activities. In 1937 I

proposed, on the basis of an inquiry authorized and appropriated

for by the Congress, the strengthening of the administrative

management of the executive establishment.

None of all this long series of suggestions, running over more

than a quarter of a century, was in any sense personal or partisan

in design.

These measures have all had only one supreme purpose - to make

democracy work - to strengthen the arms of democracy in peace or

war and to ensure the solid blessings of free government to our

people in increasing measure.

We are not free if our administration is weak. But we are free

if we know, and others know, that we are strong; that we can be

tough as well as tender hearted; and that what the American people

decide to do can and will be done, capably and effectively, with

the best national equipment that modern organizing ability can

supply in a country where management and organization is so well

understood in private affairs.

My whole purpose in submitting this plan is to improve the

administrative management of the Republic, and I feel confident

that our Nation is united in this central purpose, regardless of

differences upon details.

This plan is concerned with the practical necessity of reducing

the number of agencies which report directly to the President and

also of giving the President assistance in dealing with the entire

executive branch by modern means of administrative management.

Forty years ago in 1899 President McKinley could deal with the

whole machinery of the executive branch through his 8 cabinet

secretaries and the heads of 2 commissions; and there was but 1

commission of the so-called quasi-judicial type in existence. He

could keep in touch with all the work through 8 or 10 persons.

Now, 40 years later, not only do some 30 major agencies (to say

nothing of the minor ones) report directly to the President, but

there are several quasi-judicial bodies which have enough

administrative work to require them also to see him on important

executive matters.

It has become physically impossible for one man to see so many

persons, to receive reports directly from them, and to attempt to

advise them on their own problems which they submit. In addition

the President today has the task of trying to keep their programs

in step with each other or in line with the national policy laid

down by the Congress. And he must seek to prevent unnecessary

duplication of effort.

The administrative assistants provided for the President in the

Reorganization Act cannot perform these functions of over-all

management and direction. Their task will be to help me get

information, and condense and summarize it - they are not to become

in any sense Assistant Presidents nor are they to have any

authority over anybody in any department or agency.

The only way in which the President can be relieved of the

physically impossible task of directly dealing with 30 or 40 major

agencies is by reorganization - by the regrouping of agencies

according to their major purposes under responsible heads who will

report to the President, just as is contemplated by the

Reorganization Act of 1939.

This act says that the President shall investigate the

organization of all agencies of the Government and determine what

changes are necessary to accomplish any one or more of five

definite purposes:

(1) To reduce expenditures;

(2) To increase efficiency;

(3) To consolidate agencies according to major purposes;

(4) To reduce the number of agencies by consolidating those

having similar functions and by abolishing such as may not be

necessary;

(5) To eliminate overlapping and duplication of effort.

It being obviously impracticable to complete this task at one

time, but having due regard to the declaration of Congress that it

should be accomplished immediately and speedily, I have decided to

undertake it promptly in several steps.

The first step is to improve over-all management, that is, to do

those things which will accomplish the purposes set out in the law,

and which, at the same time, will reduce the difficulties of the

President in dealing with the multifarious agencies of the

executive branch and assist him in distributing his

responsibilities as the chief administrator of the Government by

providing him with the necessary organization and machinery for

better administrative management.

The second step is to improve the allocation of departmental

activities, that is, to do those things which will accomplish the

purposes set out in the law and at the same time help that part of

the work of the executive branch which is carried on through

executive departments and agencies. In all this the responsibility

to the people is through the President.

The third step is to improve intradepartmental management, that

is, to do those things which will enable the heads of departments

and agencies the better to carry out their own duties and

distribute their own work among their several assistants and

subordinates.

Each of these three steps may require from time to time the

submission of one or more plans involving one or more

reorganizations, but it is my purpose to fulfill the duty imposed

upon me by the Congress as expeditiously as practicable and to the

fullest extent possible in view of the exceptions and exemptions

set out in the act.

The plan I now transmit is divided into four parts or sections

which I shall describe briefly as follows:

PART 1. EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT

In my message to the Congress of January 12, 1937, in discussing

the problem of how to improve the administrative management of the

executive branch, I transmitted with my approval certain

recommendations for strengthening and developing the management

arms of the President. Those three management arms deal with (1)

budget, and efficiency research, (2) planning, and (3) personnel.

My accumulated experience during the 2 years since that time has

deepened my conviction that it is necessary for the President to

have direct access to these managerial agencies in order that he

may have the machinery to enable him to carry out his

constitutional responsibility, and in order that he may be able to

control expenditures, to increase efficiency, to eliminate

overlapping and duplication of effort, and to be able to get the

information which will permit him the better to advise the Congress

concerning the state of the Union and the program of the

Government.

Therefore, I find it necessary and desirable in carrying out the

purposes of the act to transfer the Bureau of the Budget to the

Executive Office of the President from the Treasury Department. It

is apparent from the legislative history of the Budget and

Accounting Act that it was the purpose in 1921 to set up an

Executive Budget for which the President would be primarily

responsible to the Congress and to the people, and that the

Director of the Budget was to act under the immediate direction and

supervision of the President. While no serious difficulties have

been encountered because of the fact that the Bureau of the Budget

was placed in the Treasury Department so far as making budgetary

estimates has been concerned, it is apparent that its coordinating

activities and its research and investigational activities recently

provided for by the Congress, will be facilitated if the Bureau is

not a part of 1 of the 10 executive departments. Also, in order

that the Bureau of the Budget may the better carry out its work of

coordination and investigation, I find it desirable and necessary

in order to accomplish the purposes of the act to transfer to the

Bureau of the Budget the functions of the Central Statistical

Board.

By these transfers to the Executive Office, the President will be

given immediate access to that managerial agency which is concerned

with the preparation and administration of the Budget, with the

coordination of the work of the governmental agencies, and with

research and investigation necessary to accomplish the five

definite purposes of the Reorganization Act of 1939.

I also find it necessary and desirable to transfer to the

Executive Office of the President the National Resources Committee,

now an independent establishment, and to consolidate with it by

transfer from the Department of Commerce the functions of the

Federal Employment Stabilization Office, the consolidated unit to

be known as the National Resources Planning Board. This Board would

be made up as is the present Advisory Board of the National

Resources Committee of citizens giving part-time services to the

Government, who aided by their technical staff would be able to

advise the President, the Congress, and the people with respect to

plans and programs for the conservation of the national resources,

physical and human. By these transfers to the Executive Office,

the President will be given more direct access to and immediate

direction over that agency which is concerned with planning for the

utilization and conservation of the national resources, an

indispensable part of the equipment of the Chief Executive.

On previous occasions I have recommended and I hereby renew and

emphasize my recommendation that the work of this Board be placed

upon a permanent statutory basis.

Because of an exemption in the act, it is impossible to transfer

to the Executive Office the administration of the third managerial

function of the Government, that of personnel. However, I desire

to inform the Congress that it is my purpose to name one of the

administrative assistants to the President, authorized in the

Reorganization Act of 1939, to serve as a liaison agent of the

White House on personnel management.

In this manner, the President will be given for the first time

direct access to the three principal necessary management agencies

of the Government. None of the three belongs in any existing

department. With their assistance, and with this reorganization,

it will be possible for the President to continue the task of

making investigations of the organization of the Government in

order to control expenditures, increase efficiency, and eliminate

overlapping.

PART 2. FEDERAL SECURITY AGENCY

Studies heretofore made by me and researches made at my

direction, as well as recommendations submitted by me to the

Congress, and especially those contained in my message of January

12, 1937, indicate clearly that to carry out the purposes of the

Reorganization Act of 1939 to group, coordinate, and consolidate

agencies of the Government according to major purposes and to

reduce the number of agencies by consolidating those having similar

functions under a single head, would require the provision of 3

general agencies in addition to the 10 executive departments.

It is my objective, then, by transfer, consolidation, and

abolition to set up a Federal Security Agency, a Federal Works

Agency, and a Federal Loan Agency, and then to distribute among the

10 executive departments and these 3 new agencies, the major

independent establishments in the Government (excepting those

exempt from the operations of the act) in order to minimize

overlapping and duplication, to increase efficiency and to reduce

expenditures to the fullest extent consistent with the efficient

operation of the Government.

I find it necessary and desirable to group in a Federal Security

Agency those agencies of the Government, the major purposes of

which are to promote social and economic security, educational

opportunity, and the health of the citizens of the Nation.

The agencies to be grouped are the Social Security Board, now an

independent establishment, the United States Employment Service,

now in the Department of Labor, the Office of Education, now in the

Department of the Interior, the Public Health Service, now in the

Treasury Department, the National Youth Administration, now in the

Works Progress Administration, and the Civilian Conservation Corps,

now an independent agency.

The Social Security Board is placed under the Federal Security

Agency, and at the same time the United States Employment Service

is transferred from the Department of Labor and consolidated with

the unemployment compensation functions of the Social Security

Board in order that their similar and related functions of social

and economic security may be placed under a single head and their

internal operations simplified and integrated.

The unemployment compensation functions of the Social Security

Board and the employment service of the Department of Labor are

concerned with the same problem, that of the employment, or the

unemployment, of the individual worker.

Therefore, they deal necessarily with the same individual. These

particular services to the particular individual also are bound up

with the public-assistance activities of the Social Security Board.

Not only will these similar functions be more efficiently and

economically administered at the Federal level by such grouping and

consolidation, but this transfer and merger also will be to the

advantage of the administration of State social security programs

and result in considerable saving of money in the administrative

costs of the governments of the 48 States as well as those of the

United States. In addition to this saving of money there will be a

considerable saving of time and energy not only on the part of

administrative officials concerned with this program in both

Federal and State Governments, but also on the part of employers

and workers, permitting through the simplification of procedures a

reduction in the number of reports required and the elimination of

unnecessary duplication in contacts with workers and with

employers.

Because of the relationship of the educational opportunities of

the country to the security of its individual citizens, the Office

of Education with all of its functions, including, of course, its

administration of Federal-State programs of vocational education,

is transferred from the Department of the Interior to the Federal

Security Agency. This transfer does not increase or extend the

activities of the Federal Government in respect to education, but

does move the existing activities into a grouping where the work

may be carried on more efficiently and expeditiously, and where

coordination and the elimination of overlapping may be better

accomplished. The Office of Education has no relationship to the

other functions of the Department of the Interior.

The Public Health Service is transferred from the Treasury

Department to the Federal Security Agency. It is obvious that the

health activities of the Federal Government may be better carried

out when so grouped than if they are left in the Treasury, which is

primarily a fiscal agency, and where the necessary relationships

with other social security, employment, and educational activities

now must be carried on by an elaborate scheme of interdepartmental

committee work.

The National Youth Administration is transferred from the Works

Progress Administration to the Federal Security Agency since its

major purpose is to extend the educational opportunities of the

youth of the country and to bring them through the processes of

training into the possession of skills which enable them to find

employment. Other divisions of the Federal Security Agency will

have the task of finding jobs, providing for unemployment

compensation, and other phases of social security, while still

other units of the new agency will be concerned with the problem of

primary and secondary education, as well as vocational education

and job training and retraining for employment. While much of the

work of the National Youth Administration has been carried on

through work projects, these have been merely the process through

which its major purpose was accomplished, and, therefore, this

agency under the terms of the act should be grouped with the other

security agencies rather than with the work agencies.

For similar reasons the Civilian Conservation Corps, now an

independent establishment, is placed under the Federal Security

Agency because of the fact that its major purpose is to promote the

welfare and further the training of the individuals who make up the

corps, important as may be the construction work which they have

carried on so successfully. The Civilian Conservation Corps is a

small coordinating agency which supervises work carried on with the

cooperation of several regular departments and independent units of

the Government. This transfer would not interfere with the plan of

work heretofore carried on but it would enable the Civilian

Conservation Corps to coordinate its policies, as well as its

operations, with those other agencies of the Government concerned

with the educational and health activities and with human security.

PART 3. FEDERAL WORKS AGENCY

In order to carry out the purpose of the Reorganization Act of

1939 I find it necessary and desirable to group and consolidate

under a Federal Works Agency those agencies of the Federal

Government dealing with public works not incidental to the normal

work of other departments, and which administer Federal grants or

loans to State and local governments or other agencies for the

purposes of construction.

The agencies so to be grouped are: The Bureau of Public Roads,

now in the Department of Agriculture; the Public Buildings Branch

of the Procurement Division, now in the Treasury Department; and

the Branch of Building Management of the National Park Service (so

far as it is concerned with public buildings which it operates for

other departments or agencies) now in the Department of the

Interior; the United States Housing Authority, now in the

Department of the Interior; the Federal Emergency Administration of

Public Works (familiarly known as P. W. A.); and the Works Progress

Administration (familiarly known as W. P. A.) except the functions

of the National Youth Administration.

The transfer of both the Public Works Administration and the

Works Progress Administration to the new Federal Works Agency would

provide for both principal types of public works that have been

carried on by the Federal Government directly or in cooperation

with the State and local governments. I find that it will be

possible to reduce administrative costs as well as to improve

efficiency and to eliminate overlapping by bringing these different

programs of public works under a common head. But, because of the

differences that justified their separate operation in the past and

differences that will continue in the future to distinguish certain

phases of major public works from work relief, I find it necessary

to maintain them at least for the present as separate subordinate

units of the Federal Works Agency.

The present Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works is

placed under the Federal Works Agency under the shorter name of

Public Works Administration.

The name of the Works Progress Administration has been changed to

Works Projects Administration in order to make its title more

descriptive of its major purpose.

The Bureau of Public Roads is transferred from the Department of

Agriculture to the Federal Works Agency and as a separate unit

under the name of Public Roads Administration. This will bring the

administration of the Federal roads program with its grants-in-aid

to the States into coordination with other major public-works

programs and other programs of grants and loans to the States.

The construction and operation of many public buildings is now

carried on in two agencies which are consolidated under the new

Federal Works Agency, namely the Public Buildings Branch of the

Procurement Division of the Treasury Department (which is concerned

with the construction of Federal buildings and with the operation

of many public buildings outside the District of Columbia) and the

Branch of Building Management of the National Park Service, of the

Department of the Interior, which is concerned with the operation

of public buildings in the District of Columbia. These two separate

activities are consolidated in one unit to be known as the Public

Buildings Administration. Improved efficiency, coordination of

effort, and savings will result from this transfer and

consolidation.

Then, also, there is transferred from the Department of the

Interior to the Federal Works Agency the United States Housing

Authority. The major purpose of the United States Housing Authority

is to administer grants-in-aid and loans to local public housing

authorities in accordance with its established standards of

construction in that part of the housing field which cannot be

reached economically by private enterprise. For these reasons, it

should be grouped with those other agencies which have to do with

public works, with grants and loans to State and local governments

and with construction practices and standards.

PART 4. FEDERAL LOAN AGENCY AND TRANSFERS OF INDEPENDENT LENDING

AGENCIES

In order to carry out the purposes of the Reorganization Act of

1939 I find it necessary and desirable to group under a Federal

Loan Agency those independent lending agencies of the Government

which have been established from time to time for the purpose of

stimulating and stabilizing the financial, commercial, and

industrial enterprises of the Nation.

The agencies to be grouped in the Federal Loan Agency are: The

Reconstruction Finance Corporation, the Electric Home and Farm

Authority, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, the Federal Housing

Administration, and their associated agencies and boards, as well

as the Export-Import Bank of Washington.

Since 1916 the Congress has established from time to time

agencies for providing loans, directly or indirectly, for the

stimulation and stabilization of agriculture, and such agencies

should in my opinion be grouped with the other agricultural

activities of the Government. For that reason I find it necessary

and desirable to accomplish the purposes of the act to transfer the

Farm Credit Administration, the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation,

and the Commodity Credit Corporation and associated agencies to the

ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY

One of the five purposes of the Reorganization Act of 1939 is

''to reduce expenditures to the fullest extent consistent with the

efficient operation of the Government.'' This purpose is important

in each phase of the plan here presented. The Reorganization Act

prohibits abolishing functions - in other words basic services or

activities performed. Therefore the reduction in expenditures to

be effected must necessarily be brought about chiefly in the

overhead administrative expenses of the agencies set up to perform

certain functions. The chance for economy arises therefore not

from stopping work, but from organizing the work and the overhead

more efficiently in combination with other similar activities.

Only the Congress can abolish or curtail functions now provided by

law.

The overhead administrative costs of all the agencies affected in

Reorganization Plan No. I is about $235,000,000. This does not

include the loans they make, the benefits they pay, the wages of

the unemployed who have been given jobs; it does not include the

loans and grants to States or, in short, the functional expense.

It does include the overhead expense of operating and administering

all these agencies.

The reduction of administrative expenditures which it is probable

will be brought about by the taking effect of the reorganizations

specified in the plan is estimated as nearly as may be at between

$15,000,000 and $20,000,000 annually, a substantial lowering of the

existing overhead. Certain of these economies can be brought about

almost immediately, others will require a painstaking and gradual

readjustment in the machinery and business practices of the

Government.

Any such estimate is incomplete, however, without reference to

the corresponding savings which will follow in the States and

cities through the recommended consolidation of the Federal

services with which they cooperate, and the improved efficiency and

convenience which will be felt by citizens all over the Nation -

many of whom will be able to find in a single office many of the

services now scattered in several places. These economies will

undoubtedly exceed the direct savings in the Federal Budget.

It will not be necessary to ask the Congress for any additional

appropriations for the administrative expenses of the three

consolidated agencies set up in this plan, since their costs will

be met from funds now available for the administrative expenses of

their component units. Actually new expenses will be only a

fractional part of the expected savings.

Neither on this Reorganization Plan No. I nor on future

reorganization plans, covering interdepartmental changes and

intradepartmental changes, will every person agree on each and

every detail. It is true that out of the many groupings and

regroupings proposed in this message a few of the individual

agencies could conceivably be placed elsewhere.

Nevertheless, I have been seeking to consider the functional

origin and purpose of each agency as required by the reorganization

bill itself.

If in the future experience shows that one or two of them should

be regrouped, it will be wholly possible for the President and the

Congress to make the change.

The plan presented herewith represents 2 years of study. It is a

simple and easily understood plan. It conforms to methods of

executive administration used by large private enterprises which

are engaged in many lines of production. Finally, it will save a

sum of money large in comparison with the existing overhead of the

agencies involved.

I trust, therefore, that the Congress will view the plan as a

whole and make it possible to take the first step in improving the

executive administration of the Government of the United States.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

Pursuant to the provisions of the Reorganization Act of 1939

(Public, No. 19, 76th Cong., 1st Sess.) approved April 3, 1939, I

herewith transmit Reorganization Plan No. II, which, after

investigation, I have prepared in accordance with the provisions of

section 4 of the act; and I declare that with respect to each

transfer, consolidation, or abolition made in Reorganization Plan

No. II, I have found that such transfer, consolidation, or

abolition is necessary to accomplish one or more of the purposes of

section 1 (a) of the act.

In my message to the Congress on April 25, 1939, transmitting

Reorganization Plan No. I, I took occasion to say that, it being

obviously impracticable to complete the task of reorganization at

one time, I had decided, in view of the declaration of the Congress

that it should be accomplished immediately and speedily, to

undertake it in several steps.

Plan No. I, had to do with overall management. Plan No. II,

transmitted herewith, is designed to improve the work of the

executive branch for which, although carried on through executive

departments and agencies, the responsibility to the people is

through the President. It is concerned with the sole purpose of

improving the administrative management of the executive branch by

a more logical grouping of existing units and functions and by a

further reduction in the number of independent agencies.

I am transmitting Reorganization Plan No. II as the result of

studies that have been made for me and of my own experience over a

period of several years, as the best way in which to regroup the

agencies affected so as to fulfill the purposes of the act:

1. To reduce expenditures;

2. To increase efficiency;

3. To consolidate agencies according to major purposes;

4. To reduce the number of agencies by consolidating those having

similar functions and by abolishing such as may not be necessary;

and

5. To eliminate overlapping and duplication of effort.

The plan I now transmit I shall describe briefly as follows:

I proposed to transfer the Foreign Commerce Service of the United

States and its functions now in the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic

Commerce of the Department of Commerce and the Foreign Agricultural

Service of the United States and its functions in the Department of

Agriculture to the Department of State, and to consolidate them

with the Foreign Service of the United States under the direction

and supervision of the Secretary of State.

By this transfer and consolidation, there will be a single

Foreign Service in the Department of State, but this does not mean

that the interests of the commercial and agricultural communities

are to be neglected, for it is a part of the Plan that

representatives of the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary

of Commerce shall be placed on the Board of Foreign Service

Personnel and that specific investigations relating to commerce and

agriculture shall be initiated directly by the Secretaries of these

two Departments who will receive directly the results of

investigations in their own fields.

A much greater degree of coordination and effectiveness in our

foreign establishments can be achieved under the plan than has ever

before been possible. The needs of the different Departments and

Agencies of the Government will be met more efficiently and the

responsiveness of the foreign establishments to these needs will be

greatly improved.

The plan presupposes that it may be necessary from time to time

for various Departments and Agencies of the Government to send

abroad specialists and technicians for relatively temporary duty.

While these will not be in the Foreign Service, strictly speaking,

they will be given a suitable commission by the Department of

State, on a temporary basis, so that they may have the same

obligations as other officers of the Foreign Service while on duty

abroad.

The plan also presupposes a special training period within the

Department of Commerce and the Department of Agriculture for

Foreign Service officers selected to specialize in commercial or

agricultural work and contemplates the fullest utilization of the

experience gained abroad by Foreign Service officers in the work of

the Departments of Commerce and Agriculture in this country. There

will be stationed in the Department of State a liaison officer of

the Department of Commerce and of the Department of Agriculture to

make effective the proposed cooperation.

The plan specifically leaves undisturbed the relationships of the

Department of Commerce and of the Department of Agriculture with

the commercial and agricultural communities. What it does do is to

consolidate the foreign services into one Foreign Service in the

Department of State, where it ought to be, with the resulting

advantages of economy, efficiency, better functional grouping,

elimination of overlapping and duplication of effort, and greater

service to our commercial and agricultural interests.

There is also transferred to the Department of State the Foreign

Service Buildings Commission and its functions. This Commission is

advisory to the administrative work of the Department of State and

should no longer have the status of an independent establishment.

The Bureau of Lighthouses now in the Department of Commerce is

transferred to the Treasury Department and consolidated with the

Coast Guard in that Department. The advantages of this

consolidation are obvious and fall clearly within the provision of

the act requiring me to consolidate agencies according to major

purposes. This will save money on equipment and administration and

will permit the better use of personnel.

The plan also includes the abolition of the Office of the

Director General of Railroads and of the War Finance Corporation

and the transfer of their functions to the Secretary of the

Treasury to be wound up by him as rapidly as may be. In the case

of the War Finance Corporation, it is directed that the final

dissolution shall be accomplished not later than December 31, 1939.

I further propose to transfer to the Department of Justice the

Federal Prison Industries, Inc., and the National Training School

for Boys, and at the same time to abolish the board of trustees of

the National Training School for Boys. Responsibility for the

Federal penal and correctional institutions is in the Department of

Justice and these two independent establishments should be

consolidated therein. None of the other Federal penal or

correctional institutions has a board of trustees and there is no

need of further continuing the board of the National Training

School.

The plan also provides for the abolition of the Codification

Board established for the purpose of codifying existing

administrative law and the transfer of its functions to the

Division of the Federal Register in the National Archives. The work

of this board has now progressed to the point where a separate

board is no longer necessary and the future work of keeping the

codification up to date can more efficiently and economically be

carried on by the editorial staff of the Federal Register.

I find it necessary and desirable in order to accomplish the

purposes of the Reorganization Act to abolish the National

Bituminous Coal Commission and to transfer its functions to the

Secretary of the Interior. Thus the task of conserving the

bituminous-coal resources of the country may be carried on directly

by the head of the Department principally responsible for the

conservation of fuel and other mineral supplies. The Congress

placed this Commission in the Department of the Interior, but

experience has shown that direct administration will be cheaper,

better, and more effective than through the cumbersome medium of an

unnecessary commission.

The transfer to the Department of the Interior of the Bureau of

Insular Affairs in the War Department and its consolidation with

the Division of Territories and Island Possessions in Interior is a

functional transfer of obvious desirability. Under the provisions

of existing law, however, I shall direct, where necessary, that

certain correspondence from the Governor General of the Philippines

shall be transmitted to the President through the Department of

State.

The plan provides for the transfer to the Department of the

Interior of the Bureau of Fisheries from the Department of Commerce

and of the Bureau of Biological Survey from the Department of

Agriculture. These two Bureaus have to do with conservation and

utilization of the wildlife resources of the country, terrestrial

and aquatic. Therefore, they should be grouped under the same

departmental administration, and in that Department which, more

than any other, is directly responsible for the administration and

conservation of the public domain. However, I intend to direct

that the facilities of the Department of Agriculture shall continue

to be used for research studies which have to do with the

protection of domestic animals from diseases of wildlife; and also

where most economical for the protection to farmers and stockmen

against predatory animals.

The plan also provides for the transfer of the Mount Rushmore

National Memorial Commission to the National Park Service in the

Department of the Interior in order that this great memorial may be

administered as a part of the similar work of the Park Service.

Included in the plan is a provision to transfer to the Department

of Agriculture the Rural Electrification Administration, now

operated as an independent establishment. The work of this

administration in its educational as well as its lending functions

is clearly a part of the rural life activities of the country and

should, therefore, be administered in coordination with the other

agricultural activities of the Government.

The Inland Waterways Corporation is transferred to the Department

of Commerce from the War Department. This corporation, which

operates inland waterways transportation facilities, should be

coordinated with the administration of other aids to commerce and

industry.

I propose to transfer to the Federal Security Agency, for

administration in the Office of Education, the film and radio

functions of the National Emergency Council. These are clearly a

part of the educational activities of the Government and should be

consolidated with similar activities already carried on in the

Office of Education. Similarly, Government participation in the

work of the American Printing House for the Blind, except fiscal

functions relating to trust funds, is transferred from the

Secretary of the Treasury to the Federal Security Agency, in order

that this work may be coordinated with the other work for the blind

now being carried on in the Social Security Board.

The plan provides for the abolition of the National Emergency

Council and the transfer to the Executive Office of the President

of all its functions with the exception of the film and radio

activities which go to the Office of Education. Subject to

appropriations by the Congress, these activities transferred to the

White House would be administered in the manner best designed to

give the President the information he requires from all parts of

the country.

The National Emergency Council was established by Executive order

in 1933 and is composed of the President, the Vice President, the

Members of the Cabinet, and the heads of some 23 independent

establishments. Its usefulness as an actual council, which met

weekly under my chairmanship, was very great in the period of the

emergency which then confronted the country, but, as time has gone

on, it no longer operates as a council but does continue to carry

on important activities which are indispensable to the President of

the United States, as well as to other branches of the Government,

and the public. It maintains an information service and a press

intelligence service, it publishes the United States Government

Manual, and it carries on through State and central staffs an

important work of coordinating and reporting.

The information service makes available general information

concerning all phases of governmental activity and is provided for

all who submit questions or inquiries by mail, by telephone, or by

personal call. In one sense it may be called a post-office address

- ''Uncle Sam, Post Office Box No. 1, Washington, D.C.'' - to which

persons who want information about the Government but do not know

the exact division or agency of the Government to which to apply,

may write with confidence that their questions will be answered or

else sent on to the proper agency for direct reply.

The press intelligence service carried on in the Council is not a

service for giving intelligence to the press, but rather for making

available to responsible persons in the Government, both in the

executive and in the legislative branches, a clipping service,

which shows what the press of the country has printed. The partial

consolidation of clipping services in this unit - a consolidation

which should go further - already has resulted in economy and

convenience. A clipping service of this kind, on a smaller scale,

was maintained for many years in the White House but it was not

then available to other branches of the Government. Its return to

the White House with the additional feature of availability to all

the rest of the Government will promote efficiency without

violating tradition.

The publication of the United States Government Manual makes

available to every citizen a simplified textbook of information as

to the organization and availability of the Federal agencies.

Published in loose-leaf form, it is sold by the Superintendent of

Documents of the Government Printing Office.

The coordinating and reporting functions of the Council have to

do with the presentation to the President of factual information,

independently gathered, as to the progress and effect of our

governmental activities. Through its State offices the Council has

been able to facilitate the various Federal programs particularly

with respect to State and local governments.

The plan also includes certain general provisions in order to

accomplish fully the purposes of the act. In addition to the

transfer of bureaus and other units, it is necessary also to

transfer certain functions of heads of departments; to transfer

records, property, and personnel; to transfer funds; and to provide

that the power of appointment occasionally, and sometimes

apparently quite accidentally, vested in a subordinate official of

a department, shall be vested in the head of the department. It is

impossible to exercise the proper direction and supervision over

subordinate units unless the definite power of appointment, fixing

of compensation, transfer, and promotion or dismissal of personnel

is vested in the principal responsible head. In no other way can

the purpose of consolidating similar functions under a single head

as required by the act be accomplished in practice.

It is one of the five purposes of the Reorganization Act ''to

reduce expenditures to the fullest extent consistent with the

efficient operation of the Government.'' This is an important

purpose in each phase of the plan here presented. The

Reorganization Act prohibits abolishing functions - in other words,

basic services or activities performed. Therefore, the reduction

in expenditures must necessarily be brought about chiefly in the

overhead administrative expenses of the agencies affected. In a

great many cases the economies to be effected by Reorganization

Plan No. II will be the result of improved efficiency which will,

as the plan works out, require fewer persons to perform the work or

will require the employment of less temporary assistance.

In the case of the consolidation of the foreign services it is

estimated that the administration by a single administrative unit

in the Department of State will achieve a saving of $20,000 a year

and that consolidation of the three field forces will make it

possible to drop alien employees and, by a more effective use of

personnel, to save an additional $100,000 a year when the

readjustments have been made.

The total administrative expense of all of the agencies affected

by this plan is about $25,000,000 per annum.

The reduction of such expenditures, which it is probable will be

brought about by the taking effect of the reorganizations specified

in the plan, is estimated at $1,250,000 per annum. Certain of

these economies can be brought about at once. Others will require

a gradual readjustment in machinery and business practices of the

agencies affected.

May I repeat what I said in my message transmitting

Reorganization Plan No. I, that in this as in future reorganization

plans not every person will agree on each and every detail. Out of

the many groupings and regroupings proposed, a few of the

individual agencies conceivably could be placed elsewhere, but I

have been seeking to consider the functional purpose of each agency

as required by the Reorganization Act itself and have made this

plan with the sole purpose of improving the service rendered by the

Government to its citizens in accordance with the purposes set out

in the act.

In view of the fact that it is now May 9, and that any

reorganization plan must lie before the Congress for 60 calendar

days, and because the reorganization of an intradepartmental

character requires a great deal of research and careful painstaking

detailed work, I do not propose to send any further general

reorganization plans to the Congress at this session.

However, there are certain transfers, abolitions, and

consolidations of committees, commissions, and boards which I

propose to do by means of Executive and military orders under

existing law as complementary to Reorganization Plan No. II when it

becomes effective.

Then, also, by mere administrative procedure, some small agencies

which have been listed in various publications as independent

establishments but whose independence has no basis in law or in

formal Executive or military orders, may be reassigned to an

appropriate placement by administrative procedure on the part of

their respective heads.

Not all of the interdepartmental transfers and consolidations

that are necessary and desirable have been accomplished in this

Reorganization Plan No. II. I am directing the Bureau of the Budget

to study these problems in order that they may be included in plans

to be transmitted to the Congress at its next session.

For example, in order to save money and to do the work more

efficiently there are some units which should be divided so that a

part of the work may be done by one agency and a part by another.

Take, for example, the business of mapping. It is obviously

important that the work of making surveys and accumulating data for

maps should be done in the various agencies which are concerned

primarily with the purpose for which the map is being drawn. On

the other hand, the business of manufacturing maps might very well

be consolidated in order to save money, and to manufacture better

maps.

I have considered the desirability of transferring the

jurisdiction over deportable aliens from the Immigration and

Naturalization Service in the Department of Labor to the Department

of Justice, but I find that this matter will require further study,

or perhaps legislation, and therefore it is not included in this

plan.

I have also considered the problem of certain public lands

insofar as they present overlapping jurisdiction between the

Departments of the Interior and Agriculture.

Insofar as crops, including tree crops, are involved there is

something to be said for their retention in the Department of

Agriculture. But where lands are to be kept for the primary purpose

of recreation and permanent public use and conservation they fall

more logically into the Department of the Interior.

I hope to offer a reorganization plan on this early in the next

session.

There are other types of work carried on in the Federal

Government where it may prove necessary and desirable to divide the

functions now being carried on by a particular unit so as the

better to serve the basic purpose for which the work was

undertaken. Such problems I shall continue to study with the view

of sending other reorganization plans involving both

interdepartmental and intradepartmental reorganizations to the

Congress at its next session. Franklin D. Roosevelt.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

When I submitted Reorganization Plans I and II at the last

regular session of Congress, I indicated that certain

reorganizations of an intradepartmental character were necessary

but that detailed study would be required for the preparation of

specific plans. Since that time the heads of the executive

departments and my own office have continued to study the internal

organization of the several agencies of the Government. I have

considered recommendations made to me as a result of these studies

and have found it possible to make a number of needed improvements

of organization by administrative action. In other instances, I

can effect the necessary changes only under the procedure set up in

the Reorganization Act of 1939.

I am transmitting herewith Reorganization Plan III, which I have

prepared in accordance with the provisions of section 4 of the

Reorganization Act of 1939 (Public, No. 19, 76th Cong., 1st sess.)

approved April 3, 1939; and I declare that with respect to each

reorganization made in this plan, I have found that such

reorganization is necessary to accomplish one or more of the

purposes of section 1(a) of the act:

1. To reduce expenditures;

2. To increase efficiency;

3. To consolidate agencies according to major purposes;

4. To reduce the number of agencies by consolidating those having

similar functions and by abolishing such as may not be necessary;

and

5. To eliminate overlapping and duplication of effort.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT

I am proposing two intradepartmental reorganizations relating to

the Treasury Department.

The first reorganization consolidates in a Fiscal Service, under

the direction of a permanent Fiscal Assistant Secretary, those

functions of the Treasury Department pertaining to financing and

fiscal activities. This Fiscal Service will bring together the

Office of the Treasurer of the United States, the Office of

Commissioner of Accounts and Deposits, and the Public Debt Service,

including their various subdivisions and certain other related

functions.

Some adjustments are made in the assignment of functions of the

units which will comprise the Fiscal Service, and certain changes

are made in titles. The net effect of these adjustments is to

establish within the Fiscal Service the Office of Fiscal Assistant

Secretary, the Office of the Treasurer of the United States, and a

Bureau of Accounts under a Commissioner of Accounts, and a Bureau

of Public Debt under the Commissioner of Public Debt. In addition

to responsibility for the administration of these four segments of

the Department's operations, the Fiscal Assistant Secretary is

vested with the financing functions of the Under Secretary of the

Treasury and of the Assistant Secretaries.

The functions brought together in the Fiscal Service are all

closely interrelated and are essential parts of the general

functions of financing and fiscal control. The internal

organization of the Fiscal Service conforms to accepted principles

of financial management and provides the framework for adequate

internal controls. At the same time, under the proposed plan these

functions can be coordinated more effectively, duplications

eliminated, and a more efficient service provided. To assure

continued effective management of this highly important and

technical phase of the Treasury functions, I am placing the Fiscal

Service under the supervision of a career official. The plan,

therefore, provides that the Fiscal Assistant Secretary will be

appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury in accordance with

civil-service laws and will perform his duties under the general

direction of the Secretary. This is in accord with the policy of

this administration of bringing higher administrative positions

within the career service. The creation of the office of Fiscal

Assistant Secretary will not increase the number of Assistant

Secretaries in the Treasury Department since the plan expressly

provides for the abolition of one of the three existing offices of

Assistant Secretary.

The second reorganization affecting the Treasury Department vests

in the Secretary of the Treasury full authority for the

administration of the Federal Alcohol Administration Act. At

present the Federal Alcohol Administration occupies an anomalous

position. It is legally a part of the Treasury Department, but

actually it is clothed with almost complete independence under

existing statutory provisions. Under certain conditions the

Administration would by law become an independent agency, whereas

the interests of improved management require its integration with

allied activities in the Treasury Department.

I propose, therefore, that the functions of the Federal Alcohol

Administration be correlated with the activities of the Bureau of

Internal Revenue, particularly its Alcohol Tax Unit. The Bureau is

already performing a large part of the field enforcement work of

the Administration and could readily take over complete

responsibility for its work. The Bureau is daily making, for other

purposes, a majority of the contacts with units of the liquor

industry which the Federal Alcohol Administration should but cannot

make without the establishment of a large and duplicating field

force. Under the provisions of this plan, it will be possible more

effectively to utilize the far-flung organization of the Treasury

Department, including its many laboratories, in discharging the

functions of the Federal Alcohol Administration. Thus, I find the

proposed consolidation will remedy deficiencies in organization

structure as well as afford a more effective service at materially

reduced costs.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Reorganization Plan II transferred the Bureau of Fisheries of the

Department of Commerce and the Bureau of Biological Survey of the

Department of Agriculture to the Department of the Interior and

thus concentrated in one department the two bureaus responsible for

the conservation and utilization of the wildlife resources of the

Nation. On the basis of experience gained since this transfer, I

find it necessary and desirable to consolidate these units into a

single bureau to be known as the Fish and Wildlife Service.

The Bureau of Biological Survey administers Federal laws relating

to birds, land mammals, and amphibians whereas the Bureau of

Fisheries deals with fishes, marine mammals, and other aquatic

animals. The natural areas of operation of these two bureaus

frequently coincide, and their activities are interrelated and

similar in character. Consolidation will eliminate duplication of

work, facilitate coordination of programs, and improve service to

the public.

Another provision relating to the Department of the Interior is

the abolition of the statutory office of Recorder of the General

Land Office. This office is a relic of the quill-and-sand-box

period in the transcription of land records. Its duties can

readily be absorbed by the regular civil-service personnel of the

Land Office.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

I propose to consolidate the Division of Marketing and Marketing

Agreements of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration and the

Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation into a single agency to be

known as the Surplus Marketing Administration. This consolidation

will facilitate the work of the Department of Agriculture relating

to the formulation and administration of marketing agreements and

the disposition of agricultural surpluses.

Because the two programs require unified planning and direction,

the Secretary of Agriculture has found it desirable to designate

the same person as the head of both. In one capacity he reports

directly to the Secretary of Agriculture while in the other he is

responsible by law to the Administrator of the Agricultural

Adjustment Administration. Consolidation of the two units will

assure unified management, eliminate confusion in administration,

and make for more efficient operation. Furthermore, this

reorganization will remove from the Agricultural Adjustment

Administration the legal responsibility for functions which differ

administratively from its major operations.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

I propose to abolish the offices of commissioner of immigration

and the offices of district commissioner of immigration and

naturalization. The former have been vacant since 1933; the latter

impose an unnecessary level of supervision above that of district

director of immigration and naturalization in certain of our ports

and should be eliminated in the interests of economy and sound

administration.

CIVIL AERONAUTICS AUTHORITY

I propose to clarify the relations of the Administrator of the

Civil Aeronautics Authority and the five-member Board of the Civil

Aeronautics Authority. The Administrator is made the chief

administrative officer of the Authority with respect to all

functions other than those relating to economic regulation and

certain other activities primarily of a rule-making and

adjudicative character which are entrusted to the Board. This will

eliminate the confusion of responsibilities existing under the

Civil Aeronautics Act and provide a more clear-cut and effective

plan of organization for the agency.

IMPROVEMENT AND SAVINGS

The principal advantage of the reorganizations proposed in this

plan will be increased effectiveness of operation of the agencies

concerned. In addition to improved service, some economies may be

expected. I estimate that immediate annual savings in

administrative expense of approximately $150,000 will result. This

comparatively small amount in no way measures the worth of the

proposals. In fact, if they resulted in no administrative savings

at all, I should still consider them worthwhile in view of the

increased effectiveness of administration that will result.

NEED FOR CONTINUOUS STUDY

The management problems of a department or agency are complex and

dynamic and require much detailed analysis before findings can be

made. These problems cannot be resolved by any one reorganization

plan, nor at one time; their study must be a continuing process if

our departmental machinery is to keep pace with the changing

requirements placed on the Government. Accordingly, in conformity

with the Budget and Accounting Act, I have instructed the Director

of the Bureau of the Budget to continue studies in collaboration

with the several departments and agencies, looking to further

improvements in the Government's administrative structure.

department or agency to which such transferred agency or function

is transferred by this Plan.

SEC. 14. TRANSFER OF RECORDS, PROPERTY, AND PERSONNEL

Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, all records and

property (including office equipment) of the several agencies, and

all records and property used primarily in the administration of

any functions transferred by this Plan, and all personnel used in

the administration of such agencies and functions (including

officers whose chief duties relate to such administration and whose

offices are not abolished) are transferred to the respective

agencies concerned, for use in the administration of the agencies

and functions transferred by this Plan: Provided, That any

personnel transferred to any agency by this section found by the

head of such agency to be in excess of the personnel necessary for

the administration of the functions transferred to his agency shall

be retransferred under existing law to other positions in the

Government service, or separated from the service subject to the

provisions of section 10(a) of the Reorganization Act of 1939.

SEC. 15. TRANSFER OF FUNDS

So much of the unexpended balances of appropriations,

allocations, or other funds available for the use of any agency in

the exercise of any function transferred by this Plan, or for the

use of the head of any agency in the exercise of any function so

transferred, as the Director of the Bureau of the Budget with the

approval of the President shall determine, shall be transferred to

the agency concerned for use in connection with the exercise of the

function so transferred. In determining the amount to be

transferred the Director of the Bureau of the Budget may include an

amount to provide for the liquidation of obligations incurred

against such appropriations, allocations, or other funds prior to

the transfer: Provided, That the use of the unexpended balances of

appropriations, allocations, or other funds transferred by this

section shall be subject to the provisions of section 4(d)(3) and

section 9 of the Reorganization Act of 1939.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

One year ago the Congress directed the President to investigate

the organization of the Executive establishment and to submit plans

for such transfers, consolidations, and abolitions of agencies as

were found necessary and desirable.

Shortly thereafter I submitted Reorganization Plan No. I which

improved the over-all management of the Executive branch. This was

followed by Reorganization Plan No. II which effected a better

allocation of certain agencies and activities among departments.

Although these two plans have been in effect less than a year,

their benefits have already been gratifying. I have found the task

of coordinating the work of the Executive branch less difficult.

Many improvements in service have occurred, and substantial

economies have resulted.

Reorganization Plan No. III, recently submitted, is a third step

which will improve intradepartmental management through internal

adjustment in certain agencies.

I am now proposing a fourth reorganization plan which provides

for a number of interdepartmental reorganizations. These changes

are designed to increase efficiency in the administration of

Government services by a more logical grouping of certain functions

and by a further reduction in the number of independent agencies

reporting directly to the Chief Executive.

Accordingly, I am transmitting herewith Reorganization Plan No.

IV, which, after investigation, I have prepared in pursuance of

section 4 of the Reorganization Act of 1939 (Public, No. 19, 76th

Cong., 1st sess.) approved April 3, 1939; and I declare with

respect to each reorganization made in this plan, that I have found

such reorganization necessary to accomplish one or more of the

purposes of section 1 (a) of the act:

1. To reduce expenditures;

2. To increase efficiency;

3. To consolidate agencies according to major purposes;

4. To reduce the number of agencies by consolidating those having

similar functions and by abolishing such as may not be necessary;

5. To eliminate overlapping and duplication of effort.

The plan I now transmit I shall describe briefly as follows:

DEPARTMENT OF STATE

The Dominican Customs Receivership is transferred to the

Department of State from the Division of Territories and Island

Possessions in the Department of the Interior. The State Department

is the most appropriate agency to supervise this activity which

involves relations with a foreign government.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT

The plan transfers to the Secretary of the Treasury the function

of the Attorney General of approving out-of-court settlements -

technically termed compromises - of cases arising under the Federal

Alcohol Administration Act which have not, prior to compromise,

been referred to the Department of Justice for prosecution. The

present requirement that the Attorney General approve all

compromises results in a cumbersome, time-consuming procedure which

the small amounts involved do not warrant. The proposed handling

will be simpler, less likely to cause delay, and consistent with

the procedure now followed in compromises arising under other acts

which the Treasury Department administers.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Executive Order No. 6166, issued June 20, 1933, provided for the

centralization of the disbursement function in a Division of

Disbursement in the Treasury Department. The resulting increase in

efficiency has amply demonstrated the wisdom of centralizing

disbursement work. In effectuating the plan, however, I have found

it necessary to postpone its application to United States marshals

because of the unusual character of their disbursing work in

serving the courts. Experience indicates that this arrangement

should be continued. I am proposing, therefore, the permanent

transfer of the disbursement function of United States marshals

from the Treasury Department to the Department of Justice.

POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT

It has also been found desirable to continue permanently in the

Post Office Department the disbursement of Post Office funds. The

special character of the work of this Department, involving

disbursements in thousands of post offices throughout the Nation,

requires here, as well as in the case of the United States

marshals, a departure from the sound theory of central disbursing.

With its far-flung facilities, the Post Office Department is better

equipped to carry on this work than the Division of Disbursement.

Another proposal affecting the Post Office Department relates to

the transportation of mail and other material between departments.

In the early colonial days, the interchange of correspondence and

messages was by the simple hand-to-hand method. Gradually a more

systematic device became necessary to transport messages, with the

resultant evolution of the postal service. Business and private

citizens in general have made use of that service, and today we

have in our Post Office Department the most efficient organization

of its kind in the world. However, here in the Capital City, the

Federal Government, instead of utilizing fully the resources of the

Post Office Department to maintain its mail and messenger service,

has permitted a multiplicity of interdepartmental messenger

services, each serving its own department, bureau, or agency. This

duplication of services is uneconomical and results in a constant

crisscrossing and overlapping of personnel and equipment, all

engaged in a common activity. I am sure that the average citizen

in Washington, as well as officials of the Government itself, have

wondered at this paradox whereby the Federal Government is failing

to make the fullest use of one of its own agencies which is

specially equipped to render a simple, centralized service for all

the other agencies. This reorganization plan proposes to do

exactly that; to provide for the transportation of mail, documents,

packages, and similar material between all buildings occupied by

Government offices on a regularly scheduled basis of sufficient

frequency to meet the reasonable and normal requirements of these

offices and to reduce to a minimum the constant dispatching of

messengers on so-called urgent and emergency errands. This service

will be available on a reimbursement basis to the agencies exempted

by the Reorganization Act.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

I propose to transfer to the Department of the Interior the

activities of the Soil Conservation Service relating to soil and

moisture conservation on lands under the jurisdiction of the

Interior Department. With respect to private lands, the

soil-conservation work of the Federal Government is primarily of a

consultative character and can best be carried on by the Department

of Agriculture through cooperation of the farmers throughout the

country. In the case of Federal lands, this work includes the

actual application by the Government of soil-conservation practices

and is an appropriate function of the agency administering the

land.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

One of the purposes of the Reorganization Act is to reduce the

number of administrative agencies and thereby simplify the task of

executive management. We have made substantial progress toward

this objective under previous reorganization plans. I am now

proposing another step in this direction by placing the Civil

Aeronautics Authority within the framework of the Department of

Commerce. Reorganization Plan No. III, which deals with

intradepartmental changes, draws a more practical separation

between the functions of the Administrator and the Civil

Aeronautics Board. In Plan IV, which is concerned with

interdepartmental reorganization, I am bringing the Authority into

the departmental structure. The Administrator will report to the

Secretary of Commerce. The five-member Board, however, will perform

its rule-making, adjudicative, and investigative functions

independent of the Department. In the interest of efficiency it

will be supplied by the Department with budgeting, accounting,

procurement, and other office services. As a result of the

adjustments provided in Plans III and IV, I believe the Civil

Aeronautics Board will be able effectively to carry forward the

important work of accident investigation heretofore performed by

the Air Safety Board. In addition to the effective and coordinated

discharge of accident investigation work which this transfer will

facilitate, economies in administration will be possible.

The importance of the Weather Bureau's functions to the Nation's

commerce has also led to the decision to transfer this Bureau to

the Department of Commerce. The development of the aviation

industry has imposed upon the Weather Bureau a major responsibility

in the field of air transportation. The transfer to the Department

of Commerce, as provided in this plan, will permit better

coordination of Government activities relating to aviation and to

commerce generally, without in any way lessening the Bureau's

contribution to agriculture.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

The plan transfers to the Secretary of Labor the functions of the

Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of the Interior

relating to the enforcement of the minimum-wage provisions in

contracts for Federal construction. The Secretary of Labor is

responsible by law for the determination of the prevailing wage

rates included in Government contracts and should properly have

complete responsibility for their enforcement.

UNITED STATES MARITIME COMMISSION

I propose to transfer to the United States Maritime Commission

the functions of the Secretary of the Navy relating to State marine

and nautical schools. These schools are devoted to training young

men for junior officer positions in the merchant marine. The

general responsibility for developing facilities for the training

of merchant marine personnel is vested in the Maritime Commission.

The proposed transfer will thus permit closer coordination of the

nautical schools with the training work of the Maritime Commission.

FEDERAL SECURITY AGENCY

The Federal Security Agency has as its major purposes the

promotion of social and economic security, educational opportunity,

and the health of the citizens. The functions of Saint Elizabeths

Hospital, Freedmen's Hospital, Howard University, and Columbia

Institution for the Deaf plainly come squarely within these

purposes. Consequently, I find it necessary and desirable in

pursuance of the objectives of the Reorganization Act to transfer

to the Federal Security Agency the responsibilities of the Interior

Department relating to these institutions. The work of Saint

Elizabeths Hospital and Freedmen's Hospital is much more akin to

the activities of the Public Health Service in the Federal Security

Agency than to those of any other Federal establishment.

Similarly, Howard University and Columbia Institution for the Deaf

can derive more benefit from association with the Office of

Education in the Federal Security Agency than with any other

Federal organization.

I further propose to transfer to the Federal Security Agency the

Food and Drug Administration with the exception of two activities

intimately related to the work of the Department of Agriculture.

The work of the Food and Drug Administration is unrelated to the

basic functions of the Department of Agriculture. There was,

however, no other agency to which these functions more

appropriately belonged until the Federal Security Agency was

created last year. I now believe that the opportunity for the Food

and Drug Administration to develop along increasingly constructive

lines lies in this new Agency. There is also need for coordination

of certain of its functions with those of the Public Health

Service. To accomplish these objectives, the plan establishes the

Administration as a separate unit within the Federal Security

Agency.

ECONOMIES

Functions may be transferred or consolidated under this

Reorganization Act, but the abolition of functions is prohibited.

Congress alone can curtail or abolish functions now provided by

law. Savings must come from administrative expenses which comprise

only a small fraction of Federal expenditures. This precludes the

making of large reductions in expenditure through reorganization

plans. The major achievements in reorganizations under this

formula must inevitably be found in improved management and more

effective service. However, some savings in administrative

expenses will be possible under this plan. I estimate the

immediate annual savings at approximately $300,000.

FUTURE REORGANIZATION NEEDS

The reorganization plans thus far submitted do not exhaust the

transfers, consolidations, and abolitions that may be necessary and

desirable. Some changes that now appear to have merit require

further study. It is the responsibility of the President as Chief

Executive to see that needed adjustments and improvements in

administrative organization are made. But this he cannot

adequately accomplish without proper statutory authority. The

present Reorganization Act entirely exempts some 21 administrative

agencies from consideration. Furthermore this act expires on

January 20, 1941.

I strongly recommend the reenactment of the Reorganization Act,

without exemptions. The structure and management of our

Government, like the activities and services it performs, must be

kept abreast of social and economic change.

Franklin D. Roosevelt.

IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE

SECTION 1. TRANSFER OF IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE

The Immigration and Naturalization Service of the Department of

Labor (including the Office of the Commissioner of Immigration and

Naturalization) and its functions are transferred to the Department

of Justice and shall be administered under the direction and

supervision of the Attorney General. All functions and powers of

the Secretary of Labor relating to the administration of the

Immigration and Naturalization Service and its functions or to the

administration of the immigration and naturalization laws are

transferred to the Attorney General. In the event of disagreement

between the head of any department or agency and the Attorney

General concerning the interpretation or application of any law

pertaining to immigration, naturalization, or nationality, final

determination shall be made by the Attorney General.

SEC. 2. TRANSFER OF RECORDS, PROPERTY, AND PERSONNEL

All records, property, and personnel (including office equipment)

of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and all records,

property, and personnel of the Department of Labor used primarily

(including officers whose chief duties relate to such

administration), are transferred to the Department of Justice:

Provided, That any personnel so transferred that may be found by

the Attorney General to be in excess of the personnel necessary for

the administration of the functions transferred by this Plan, shall

be retransferred under existing law to other positions in the

Government service, or separated from the service subject to the

provisions of section 10(a) of the Reorganization Act of 1939.

SEC. 3. TRANSFER OF FUNDS

So much of the unexpended balances of appropriations,

allocations, or other funds available (including funds available

for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1941) for the use of the

Immigration and Naturalization Service or the Department of Labor

in the exercise of functions transferred by this Plan as the

Director of the Bureau of the Budget with the approval of the

President shall determine, shall be transferred to the Department

of Justice for use in connection with the exercise of the functions

so transferred. In determining the amount to be transferred the

Director of the Bureau of the Budget may include an amount to

provide for the liquidation of obligations incurred against such

appropriations, allocations, or other funds prior to the transfer:

Provided, That the use of the unexpended balances of

appropriations, allocations, or other funds transferred by this

section shall be subject to the provisions of sections 4(d)(3) and

section 9 of the Reorganization Act of 1939.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

When Reorganization Plan No. IV was submitted to Congress, I did

not contemplate the transmittal of any additional plans during the

current session. However, the startling sequence of international

events which has occurred since then has necessitated a review of

the measures required for the Nation's safety. This has revealed a

pressing need for the transfer of the immigration and

naturalization functions from the Department of Labor to the

Department of Justice. I had considered such an interdepartmental

transfer for some time but did not include it in the previous

reorganization plans since much can be said for the retention of

these functions in the Department of Labor during normal times. I

am convinced, however, that under existing conditions the

immigration and naturalization activities can best contribute to

the national well-being only if they are closely integrated with

the activities of the Department of Justice.

I am, therefore, transmitting herewith Reorganization Plan No. V

which I have prepared in accordance with the provisions of section

4 of the Reorganization Act of 1939 (Public, No. 19, 76th Cong.,

1st sess.) approved April 3, 1939; and I declare that I have found

that such reorganization is necessary to accomplish one or more of

the purposes of section 1(a) (section 133 of this title) of the

act:

1. To reduce expenditures;

2. To increase efficiency;

3. To consolidate agencies according to major purposes;

4. To reduce the number of agencies by consolidating those having

similar functions and by abolishing such as may not be necessary;

and

5. To eliminate overlapping and duplication of effort.

This plan provides for transferring the Immigration and

Naturalization Service from the Department of Labor to the

Department of Justice. While it is designed to afford more

effective control over aliens, this proposal does not reflect any

intention to deprive them of their civil liberties or otherwise to

impair their legal status. This reorganization will enable the

Government to deal quickly with those aliens who conduct themselves

in a manner that conflicts with the public interest. No monetary

savings are anticipated.

I realize that the Congress may adjourn before the termination of

the 60-day period provided under the Reorganization Act, but in

that event and in view of the urgency of this matter I hope that it

will take such action as will permit this plan to go into effect.

Franklin D. Roosevelt.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

The fundamental strength of a nation lies within its people.

Military and industrial power are evidences, not the real source of

strength. Over the years the prosperity of America and its place

in the world will depend on the health, the education, the

ingenuity, and the integrity of its people and on their ability to

work together and with other nations.

The most basic and at the same time the most difficult task of

any country is the conservation and development of its human

resources. Under our system of government this is a joint

responsibility of the Federal, State, and local governments, but in

it the Federal Government has a large and vital role to play.

Through its research, advice, stimulation, and financial aid, it

contributes greatly to progress and to the equalization of

standards in the fields of education, health, and welfare; and in

the field of social insurance it also directly administers a major

segment of the program.

To meet its full responsibilities in these fields, the Federal

Government requires efficient machinery for the administration of

its social programs. Until 1939 the agencies in charge of these

activities were scattered in many parts of the Government. In that

year President Roosevelt took the first great step toward effective

organization in this area when he submitted Reorganization Plan 1,

establishing the Federal Security Agency -

to promote social and economic security, educational opportunity,

and the health of the citizens of the Nation.

The time has now come for further steps to strengthen the

machinery of the Federal Government for leadership and service in

dealing with the social problems of the country. Several programs

closely bound up with the objectives of the Federal Security Agency

are still scattered in other parts of the Government. As the next

step, I consider it essential to transfer these programs to the

Federal Security Agency and to strengthen its internal organization

and management.

Broadly stated, the basic purpose of the Federal Security Agency

is the conservation and development of the human resources of the

Nation. Within that broad objective come the following principal

functions: Child care and development, education, health, social

insurance, welfare (in the sense of care of the needy and the

defective), and recreation (apart from the operation of parks in

the public domain).

These functions constitute a natural family of closely related

services, interwoven at many points and in many ways. For example,

the development of day-care centers for children has involved joint

planning and service by specialists of the Children's Bureau, the

Office of Education, the Public Health Service, and several other

agencies. The schools are both a major consumer of public-health

services and a leading vehicle for health education and for

disseminating the results of research carried on by the Public

Health Service. The promotion of social security involves a whole

battery of activities, especially social insurance, public

assistance, health, and child welfare.

In order to proceed as promptly as possible with the development

of the Federal Security Agency to meet the postwar responsibilities

of the Government within its field of activity, I am transmitting

herewith Reorganization Plan No. 2, which I have prepared in

accordance with the provisions of section 3 of the Reorganization

Act of 1945 (Public Law 263, 79th Cong., 1st Sess.), approved

December 20, 1945; and I declare that, with respect to each

reorganization made in this plan, I have found that such

reorganization is necessary to accomplish one or more of the

purposes of section 2 (a) of the act -

(1) To facilitate orderly transition from war to peace;

(2) To reduce expenditures and promote economy;

(3) To increase efficiency;

(4) To group, coordinate, and consolidate agencies and functions

according to major purposes;

(5) To reduce the number of agencies by consolidating those

having similar functions and to abolish such agencies or functions

thereof as may not be necessary for the efficient conduct of the

Government; and

(6) To eliminate overlapping and duplication of effort.

The plan includes certain interagency transfers and several

abolitions and changes in the internal organization of the Federal

Security Agency.

The plan transfers to the Federal Security Administrator the

functions of the Children's Bureau, except those relating to child

labor under the Fair Labor Standards Act. These child-labor

functions are transferred to the Secretary of Labor in order that

they may be performed by, or in close relationship with, the Wage

and Hour Division which administers the rest of the act. The plan

continues the Children's Bureau within the Federal Security Agency

to deal with problems of child life, but is flexible enough to

enable the Administrator to gear in the Bureau's programs

effectively with other activities of the Agency.

The child-labor program is the only permanent program of the

Children's Bureau that is properly a labor function. The other

four - child welfare, crippled children, child and maternal health,

and research in problems of child life - all fall within the scope

of the Federal Security Agency. The transfer of the Children's

Bureau will not only close a serious gap in the work of the Agency,

but it will strengthen the child-care programs by bringing them

into closer association with the health, welfare, and educational

activities with which they are inextricably bound up.

The promotion of the education, health, welfare, and social

security of the Nation is a vast cooperative undertaking of the

Federal, State, and local governments. It involves numerous

grant-in-aid programs and complex intergovernmental relations. The

transfer of the Children's Bureau will simplify these relations and

make for better cooperation.

To illustrate, State welfare departments now depend on both the

Bureau of Public Assistance in the Federal Security Agency and the

Children's Bureau in the Labor Department for funds for child-care

activities. Similarly, State health departments obtain grants from

the Public Health Service for general public health work and from

the Children's Bureau for child and maternal health activities.

All of these grants involve the establishment of minimum standards

and a measure of Federal supervision. The transfer of the

Children's Bureau programs will make it possible to develop more

consistent policies and procedures and to simplify dealings with

the States. This will eliminate needless inconvenience for both

parties and enable the State and Federal Governments to join more

efficiently in their common objective of furthering the health and

welfare of the American child.

Next, the plan transfers the vital statistics functions of the

Census Bureau to the Federal Security Administrator, to be

performed through the Public Health Service or other facilities of

the Federal Security Agency. In every State but one the State

health department is in charge of vital statistics. The work in

the States is partially financed from public-health grants

administered by the Public Health Service. This transfer will make

the agency providing the grants also responsible for carrying on

the Federal part of the vital statistics program. Furthermore, it

will make for a better correlation of vital statistics with

morbidity statistics, which are closely connected in nature and are

already handled by the Public Health Service. In addition, the

Federal Security Agency, more than any other Federal agency in

peacetime, depends on vital statistics and vital records in the

operation of its programs.

The plan transfers the functions of the United States Employees

Compensation Commission to the Federal Security Administrator, and

provides for a three-member board of appeals to hear and finally

decide appeals on claims of Government employees. By abolishing

the Commission, the plan eliminates a small agency and lightens the

burden on the President. The Federal Security Administrator, as the

head of the Federal agency with the greatest experience in

insurance administration, is in the best position to guide and

further the program of the Commission.

The abolition of the Commission as an administrative body and the

creation of an appeals board will provide the advantages of a

single official in charge of operations while affording claimants

the protection of a three-member board for the final decision of

appeals on claims. This arrangement has proved both

administratively efficient and satisfactory to claimants in many

similar programs. It is essentially the plan used in the

administration of veterans' pensions and old-age and survivors

insurance and employed by many States in their workmen's

compensation programs. The board of appeals created by this plan

will deal only with claims of Government employees since appeals on

other types of claims under the jurisdiction of the Commission -

(a) longshoremen and harbor workers and (b) private employees in

the District of Columbia - are heard by the Federal district courts

rather than the Commission.

The reorganization plan which created the Federal Security Agency

in 1939 provided that the Federal Security Administrator should

direct and supervise the Social Security Board, and that he might

assign administrative duties to the Chairman of the Board, rather

than to the Board as a whole. Thus, it took the first step toward

establishing a definite line of responsibility for the

administration of social security functions in the Agency. The plan

I am now submitting further clarifies these lines of responsibility

by providing for the normal type of internal organization used in

Federal departments and agencies.

A full-time board in charge of a group of bureaus within an

agency is at best an anomaly. The Social Security Board rendered

an outstanding service in launching the social-security program,

and its members deserve the thanks of the Nation for this

achievement. That program, however, is now firmly established and

its administration needs to be tied in more fully with other

programs of the Federal Security Agency. The existence of a

department within a department is a serious barrier to effective

integration.

In order to obtain more expeditious and effective direction for

the social-security program and to further the development of the

Federal Security Agency, this plan transfers the functions of the

Social Security Board to the Federal Security Administrator and

provides for not more than two new assistant heads of the Agency

for the administration of the program. Because of the additional

functions transferred to the Administrator by this plan, I have

found that these officers will be needed to assist him in the

general management of the Agency and to head the constituent unit

or units which the Administrator will have to establish for the

conduct of social-security activities.

To permit a consolidation of work for the blind, the functions of

the Office of Education as to the vending-stand program for the

blind are transferred to the Federal Security Administrator, in

whom are vested other vocational rehabilitation functions. This

transfer will permit the program to be assigned to the Office of

Vocational Rehabilitation, where other vocational rehabilitation

activities for the blind are now concentrated.

The office of Assistant Commissioner of Education, established by

the act of May 26, 1930, is abolished. A basic reorganization of

the Office of Education within the past year has made this officer

the head of one of the divisions of the Office. It is, therefore,

administratively desirable to abolish the post of Assistant

Commissioner in conformity with the present organization of the

Office.

The plan also abolishes the Federal Board of Vocational Education

and its functions. The Board, established by the act of February

23, 1917, as amended (20 U.S.C. 11 et seq.), formerly had charge of

the administration of the vocational-education program. Section 15

of Executive Order 6166, of June 10, 1933, issued under authority

of the act of June 30, 1932 (47 Stat. 413, ch. 314), as amended,

transferred the administration of the program to the Office of

Education and limited the Board to acting in an advisory capacity.

The Advisory Committee on Education, on the basis of its study of

the vocational-education system, found that the Board was no longer

needed and recommended its abolition.

To avoid possible confusion and conflict of authority, the Board

of Visitors of St. Elizabeths Hospital and its functions are

abolished. The functions of the Board, as provided by section 4842

of the Revised Statutes include supervision of the institution and

the adoption of its bylaws, in addition to visiting the institution

and advising the superintendent. These functions overlap the

responsibilities of the Federal Security Administrator for the

general supervision and direction of the hospital.

In order to enable the Administrator more adequately to

coordinate the administration of the grant-in-aid programs vested

by statute in the constituent units of the Federal Security Agency,

the plan provides that, insofar as practicable and consistent with

the applicable legislation, he shall establish uniform standards

and procedures for these programs and permit States to submit a

single plan of operation for related grant-in-aid programs. Most

of these programs involve the establishment of certain minimum

standards on fiscal, personnel, and other aspects of administration

in the States. In many cases the same State agency is operating

under two or more grant-in-aid programs. Much needless

inconvenience and confusion can be avoided for all concerned by

unifying Federal standards and combining State plans for the

operation of the programs in such cases.

After careful consideration of a number of other agencies and

functions I have refrained from proposing in this plan their

transfer to the Federal Security Agency. Most of these involve

activities which, though related to the functions of the Federal

Security Agency, are incidental to the purpose of other agencies or

are connected so closely with such agencies as to make transfer

undesirable. A few are activities which should probably be shifted

in whole or in part to the Federal Security Agency, but I believe

such shifts can best be accomplished by interagency agreement or

action in connection with appropriations.

The reorganization plan here presented is a second important step

in building a central agency for the administration of Federal

activities primarily relating to the conservation and development

of human resources; but, while this step is important in itself, I

believe that a third step should soon be taken. The time is at

hand when that agency should be converted into an executive

department.

The size and scope of the Federal Security Agency and the

importance of its functions clearly call for departmental status

and a permanent place in the President's Cabinet. In number of

personnel and volume of expenditures the Agency exceeds several of

the existing departments. Much more important, the fundamental

character of its functions - education, health, welfare, social

insurance - and their significance for the future of the country

demand for it the highest level of administrative leadership and a

voice in the central councils of the executive branch.

Accordingly, I shall soon recommend to the Congress that

legislation be promptly enacted making the Federal Security Agency

an executive department, defining its basic purpose, and

authorizing the President to transfer to it such units and

activities as come within that definition.

The people expect the Federal Government to meet its full

responsibilities for the conservation and development of the human

resources of the Nation in the years that lie ahead. This

reorganization plan and the legislation that I shall propose will

provide the broad and firm foundation required for the

accomplishment of that objective. Harry S. Truman.

MESSAGE TO CONGRESS

To the Congress of the United States:

I transmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1946, prepared

in accordance with the provisions of the Reorganization Act of

1945.

The plan contains reorganizations affecting a number of

departments and establishments. Some continue on a permanent basis

changes made by Executive order under authority of the First War

Powers Act. A few make adjustments in the distribution of functions

among agencies. The remainder deal with problems of organization

within individual agencies. All are concerned with improving and

simplifying particular phases of Government administration.

Each proposal is explained in more detail under the appropriate

heading below.

I have found, after investigation, that each reorganization

contained in the plan is necessary to accomplish one or more of the

purposes set forth in section 2(a) of the Reorganization Act of

1945.

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

The functions of the Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation

were transferred from the Department of Commerce to the Coast Guard

and the Bureau of Customs in 1942 by Executive order under the

First War Powers Act. This arrangement has been proved successful

by the experience of the past 4 years. Part I of the

reorganization plan continues the arrangement on a permanent basis.

UNITED STATES COAST GUARD

The principal functions of the Bureau of Marine Inspection and

Navigation were those of the inspection of vessels and their

equipment, the licensing and certificating of officers and seamen,

and related functions designed to safeguard the safety of life and

property at sea. Thus these functions are related to the regular

activities and general purposes of the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard

administered them successfully during the tremendous expansion of

wartime shipping, by virtue of improvements in organization and

program, many of which ought to be continued.

The plan also transfers to the Coast Guard the functions of the

collectors of customs relating to the award of numbers to

undocumented vessels. These functions, too, were temporarily

transferred to the Coast Guard in 1942.

BUREAU OF CUSTOMS

The plan transfers to the Commissioner of Customs the functions

of the Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation and the Secretary

of Commerce, relating to the documentation of vessels, measurement

of vessels, administration of tonnage tax and tolls, entry and

clearance of vessels and aircraft, regulation of coastwise trade

and fisheries, recording of conveyances and mortgages of vessels,

and protection of steerage passengers. These functions have always

been performed at the ports by the customs service, although legal

responsibility for their supervision was vested in the Bureau of

Marine Inspection and Navigation and the Secretary of Commerce

until transferred temporarily to the Commissioner of Customs under

the wartime reorganization power.

The proposed transfer will permit more efficient administration

by ending divided responsibility.

DEPARTMENT OF WAR AND DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY

FUNCTIONS WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN INSANE PERSONS

Prior to World War I practically all mental patients for whom the

Federal Government was legally obligated to provide hospital care

and treatment, including personnel of the armed forces, were

hospitalized in St. Elizabeths Hospital, Washington, D. C. In

addition, this hospital served as the mental hospital for the

District of Columbia government. Following World War I, the

responsibility for hospital care of mentally ill war veterans was

assigned to the Veterans' Administration. Somewhat later,

specialized hospital facilities were provided by the Bureau of

Prisons of the Department of Justice to enable that agency to care

for prisoners suffering from mental disorders.

With the growth in the population of the District of Columbia and

the wartime expansion of the armed forces, the facilities of St.

Elizabeths Hospital became inadequate. The War Department

therefore established its own mental hospitals at the outset of

World War II. Furthermore it became necessary a year ago for the

Navy Department to discontinue the use of St. Elizabeths and to

assume the responsibility for the care of its mental patients.

Since the return of the Coast Guard to the Treasury Department,

the Public Health Service now provides care in its mental hospitals

for personnel of the Coast Guard in accordance with the basic

responsibility delegated to it in the Public Health Service Code

enacted in 1944. The plan abolishes the functions of St. Elizabeths

Hospital with respect to insane persons belonging to the Coast

Guard which are provided for by section 4843 of the Revised

Statutes (24 U.S.C. 191).

Responsibility for the care of mental patients has been allocated

on the basis of the four broad categories of beneficiaries, namely,

(1) veterans, to be cared for by the Veterans' Administration; (2)

military and naval personnel, to be cared for by the War and Navy

Departments; (3) prisoners, for whom the Department of Justice will

be responsible; and (4) other civilians, to be cared for by the

Federal Security Agency. The reorganization plan, in order to carry

out this policy, provides for the transfer or abolition of certain

functions and legal responsibilities now resting with the Federal

Security Administrator and Superintendent of St. Elizabeths

Hospital.

The plan transfers the Hydrographic Office and the Naval

Observatory from the Bureau of Naval Personnel to the Office of the

Chief of Naval Operations. The plan would confirm and make

permanent the action taken in 1942 by Executive Order No. 9126.

Under the First War Powers Act.

The functions performed by both the Hydrographic Office and the

Naval Observatory relate primarily to operational matters and thus

are more appropriately placed in the Office of the Chief of Naval

Operations than in the Bureau of Naval Personnel. This fact was

recognized in the realinement of naval functions at the outbreak of

the war. The plan merely confirms an organizational relationship

which has existed successfully for the past 4 years.

SUPPLY DEPARTMENT OF THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS

The plan consolidates the Paymaster's Department and the

Quartermaster's Department of the United States Marine Corps into a

single Supply Department. This consolidation will establish in the

Marine Corps an integrated supply organization which parallels that

of the Navy Department's Bureau of Supplies and Accounts.

The consolidation will make possible a more efficient and more

economical organization of the companion functions of supply and

disbursement, eliminating the present handling of related items by

two separate departments of the Corps.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

THE FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT LIBRARY AT HYDE PARK

At the present time, the National Park Service, the Public

Buildings Administration, and the Archivist of the United States

all perform ''housekeeping'' functions at the Franklin D. Roosevelt

Library and home at Hyde Park. The plan unifies in the National

Park Service responsibility for activities of this character at

Hyde Park - that is, the maintenance and protection of buildings

and grounds, the collection of fees, and the handling of traffic

and visitors. Because of its wide experience in the administration

of historic sites, the National Park Service is the logical agency

to assume the combined functions.

Transfer of these functions does not affect the responsibility of

the Archivist for the contents and professional services of the

library proper. It also does not affect the present disposition of

the receipts, which is provided by law.

FUNCTIONS RELATING TO MINERAL DEPOSITS IN CERTAIN LANDS

The plan transfers to the Department of the Interior jurisdiction

over mineral deposits on lands held by the Department of

Agriculture.

The Department of the Interior now administers the mining and

mineral leasing laws on various areas of the public lands,

including those national forests established on parts of the

original public domain. The Department of Agriculture, on the

other hand, has jurisdiction with respect to mineral deposits on

(1) forest lands acquired under the Weeks Act, (2) lands acquired

in connection with the rural rehabilitation program, and (3) lands

acquired by the Department as a part of the Government's effort to

retire submarginal lands.

Accordingly this reorganization plan provides that these mineral

deposits on lands of the Department of Agriculture will be

administered by the Department of the Interior, which already has

the bulk of the Federal Government's mineral leasing program.

The plan further provides that the administration of mineral

leasing on these lands under the jurisdiction of the Department of

Agriculture will be carried on subject to limitations necessary to

protect the surface uses for which these lands were primarily

acquired.

BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT

The plan consolidates the General Land Office and the Grazing

Service of the Department of the Interior into a Bureau of Land

Management.

The General Land Office and the Grazing Service now divide

responsibility for the major portion of the multiple-use federally

owned lands now held by the Department of the Interior. The lands

under jurisdiction of the two agencies are comparable in character

and in use. In some functions the two agencies employ the same

type of personnel and use the same techniques. Other functions are

divided between the agencies, so that both are engaged in

management of various aspects of the same land. Consolidating

these two agencies will permit the development of uniform policies

and the integration of two organizations whose responsibilities now

overlap.

Integration of the activities of the two agencies will make

possible greater utilization and thus more economic use of expert

skills. The same practical experience embraced in range

administration on public lands in grazing districts will be

available for public lands outside the districts.

Utilization of lands within grazing districts for nongrazing

purposes will be subject to only one classification examination,

rather than dual examination as is now necessary. Economy will be

possible in the construction of range improvements, wherever

feasible, to serve lands both in and out of districts. Legal

procedures, such as adjudication of issues relating to licenses and

leases, hearings on appeal from administrative decisions, and the

processing of trespass cases, will benefit from unified

administration and handling.

In such activities as fire protection, soil and moisture

conservation, management of public lands under agreement with other

agencies (e.g., Bureau of Reclamation), range surveys, maintenance

and improvement of stock driveways, and stabilization of range use

on all public domain, the benefits of consolidation will become

increasingly apparent. Further, records relating to grazing lands

can be concentrated in fewer field offices and hence administered

more effectively.

While the establishment of a new Bureau of Land Management under

a Director involves the abolition of the Commissioner and Assistant

Commissioners of the General Land Office, the Director and

Assistant Directors of Grazing, the Registers of District Land

Offices, and the United States Supervisor of Surveys, the statutory

functions now discharged by these officers are in no way modified.

This plan will place final responsibility for these functions in

the Secretary of the Interior and make him responsible for their

performance in coordination with the other land activities of his

Department. Officers whose offices are specifically abolished, but

whose experience will make them valuable to the Department, should

be available for appointment in the new Bureau.

I have found and declare that by reason of the reorganization

made by the plan the responsibilities and duties of the Bureau of

Land Management are of such nature as to require the inclusion in

the plan of provisions for the appointment and compensation of a

Director, an Associate Director, and Assistant Directors.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

FUNCTIONS OF CERTAIN AGENCIES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

To enable the Department of Agriculture to meet its

responsibilities for food production and distribution during the

war, there was early and continuing coordination of its programs

directly concerned with these phases of the food problem.

Beginning with Executive Order No. 9069 of February 23, 1942, those

programs and agencies dealing with food production and distribution

were gradually consolidated by a series of Executive orders issued

under the authority of the First War Powers Act. By Executive Order

No. 9334 of April 19, 1943, they were all grouped into a War Food

Administration, under a War Food Administrator.

When the fighting was drawing to a close and the emergency

purposes of the War Food Administration had been largely

accomplished, this Administration was terminated by Executive Order

No. 9577 of June 29, 1945, and its functions and agencies were

transferred back to the jurisdiction of the Secretary of

Agriculture. Executive Order No. 9577 also authorized the Secretary

of Agriculture to organize and administer the transferred functions

and agencies in the manner which he deemed best.

Under this authority the Secretary established the Production and

Marketing Administration in August 1945. Into this Administration

he consolidated the functions of many of the production and

marketing agencies which were transferred back from the War Food

Administration. Included were the functions of the Agricultural

Adjustment Administration and the Surplus Marketing Administration

and the administration of the programs of the Federal Crop

Insurance Corporation and the Commodity Credit Corporation.

The plan transfers these functions to the Secretary of

Agriculture, in order to permit him to continue the consolidation

already effected in the Production and Marketing Administration.

This provision makes it possible to maintain the close coordination

and integration of food-production and distribution programs, with

the resulting benefits that were achieved during the war. It also

provides the Secretary with the necessary flexibility to make

adjustments in the coordination and administration of these

programs to meet changing conditions and new problems, a

flexibility which he particularly needs at this period of acute

food shortages throughout the world.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

CERTAIN FUNCTIONS OF NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS

The plan transfers the functions of two Divisions of the National

Bureau of Standards in the Department of Commerce, namely, the

Division of Simplified Trade Practices and the Division of

Commercial Standards, to the Secretary of Commerce. The transfer

will permit the Secretary to reassign these functions to the Office

of Domestic Commerce, which is the focal point of the Department's

general service functions for American business.

These two Divisions were established as a result of the

standardization work initiated in World War I. Both Divisions have

followed the same basic procedure of assisting the producers and

the consumers of particular products to agree among themselves on

certain standards or on a certain limited number of varieties.

Each such voluntary agreement is then published by the National

Bureau of Standards and, although not compulsory, has tended to

become the generally accepted practice in the trade.

Standardization again proved to be an important device for

accelerating production in World War II, and industry has shown

renewed interest in continuing these wartime conservation and

rationalization programs on a voluntary basis in the production of

peacetime products.

The desirability of the proposed transfer was emphasized only a

few months ago by the report of a committee of prominent

businessmen appointed by the Secretary of Commerce to review the

entire question of the Government's activities in this field.

These studies indicate that two major benefits will result from the

transfer.

First, the association of the two Divisions with the National

Bureau of Standards has perhaps tended to give the impression in

some quarters that voluntary standards and trade practices worked

out by industry with the help of these two Divisions are in some

sense Government standards which are enforced on the basis of

scientific and objective tests. The transfer of these two

Divisions to the Department proper would reduce any such

misconceptions, and make it clear that these standards and

simplified practices are voluntary industry agreements in the

making of which the Government acts merely in an advisory capacity.

Second, the other general services of the Department to American

business, such as marketing, management, and economic and

statistical services, are now concentrated in the Office of

Domestic Commerce. The association of these two Divisions with

these other services to business will facilitate their work and

enable them to make use of the wide industrial and business

contacts of the Office of Domestic Commerce.

NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD

STRIKE BALLOTS UNDER THE WAR LABOR DISPUTES ACT

The plan abolishes the function of conducting strike ballots

which was vested in the National Labor Relations Board by section 8

of the War Labor Disputes Act (57 Stat. 167, ch. 144). Experience

indicates that such elections under the act do not serve to reduce

the number of strikes and may even aggravate labor difficulties.

The Congress has already forbidden the Board to expend any of its

appropriations for the current fiscal year for this activity (First

Deficiency Appropriation Act of 1946). I believe that the function

should now be permanently abolished.

SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION

CANAL ZONE BIOLOGICAL AREA

The plan transfers responsibility for the Canal Zone Biological

Area to the Smithsonian Institution. At present the Canal Zone

Biological Area is an independent agency of the Government, having

as its function the administration of Barro Colorado Island in

Gatun Lake as a tropical wildlife preserve and research

laboratory. The Board of Directors of this agency consists of the

President of the National Academy of Sciences as Chairman, the

Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, three members of the

Cabinet - the Secretaries of War, Interior, and Agriculture - and

three biologists.

The transfer will locate this function with comparable and

related functions already assigned to the Smithsonian Institution

whose staff members have participated since the beginning in

developing the island as a research center. It will reduce by one

the number of Government agencies. It will relieve three Cabinet

members of routine duties not important enough to warrant their

personal attention.

Under its existing authority the Smithsonian Institution may

constitute an advisory board of biologists and departmental

representatives if it finds such action necessary.

UNITED STATES EMPLOYMENT SERVICE

PLACEMENT FUNCTIONS UNDER SELECTIVE TRAINING AND SERVICE ACT OF

1940

The plan transfers to the United States Employment Service the

functions of the Selective Service System and its Director with

respect to assisting ex-servicemen in obtaining new positions.

These functions directly overlap the regular placement activities

of the United States Employment Service, which is required to

provide a special placement service for veterans both by its basic

act and by the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944. The transfer

is in line with the policy of the Congress on the placement of

veterans as most recently expressed in the 1944 act. The shift

will prevent needless duplication of personnel and facilities and

will assure the best service to veterans. Harry S. Truman.

SEC. 603. EFFECTIVE DATE

The provisions of this plan shall take effect on July 1, 1947,

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

I am transmitting herewith Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1947. The

provisions of this plan are designed to maintain organizational

arrangements worked out under authority of title I of the First War

Powers Act. The plan has a twofold objective: to provide for more

orderly transition from war to peacetime operation and to

supplement my previous actions looking toward the termination of

wartime legislation.

The First War Powers Act provides that title I -

shall remain in force during the continuance of the present war

and for six months after the termination of the war, or until

such earlier time as the Congress by concurrent resolution or

the President may designate.

Upon the termination of this title all changes in the organization

of activities and agencies effected under its authority expire and

the functions revert to their previous locations unless otherwise

provided by law.

Altogether nearly 135 Executive orders have been issued in whole

or in part under title I of the First War Powers Act. The internal

organization of the War and Navy Departments has been drastically

overhauled under this authority. Most of the emergency agencies,

which played so vital a role in the successful prosecution of the

war, were based in whole or in part upon this title. Without the

ability, which these provisions afforded, to adjust the machinery

of government to changing needs, it would not have been possible to

develop the effective, hard-hitting organization which produced

victory. The organization of war activities had to be worked out

step by step as the war program unfolded and experience pointed the

way. That was inevitable. The problems and the functions to be

performed were largely new. Conditions changed continually and

often radically. Speed of action was essential. But with the aid

of title I of the First War Powers Act, it was possible to gear the

administrative machinery of the Government to handle the enormous

load thrust upon it by the rapidly evolving war program.

Since VJ-day this same authority has been used extensively in

demobilizing war agencies and reconverting the governmental

structure to peacetime needs. This process has been largely

completed. The bulk of temporary activities have ceased, and most

of the continuing functions transferred during the war have already

been placed in their appropriate peacetime locations.

The organizational adjustments which should be continued are

essentially of two types: First, changes in the organization of

permanent functions, which have demonstrated their advantage during

the war years. Second, transfers of continuing activities which

were vested by statute in temporary war agencies but have since

been moved by Executive order upon the termination of these

agencies.

In most cases the action necessary to maintain organizational

gains made under title I of the First War Powers Act can best be

taken by the simplified procedure afforded by the Reorganization

Act of 1945, the first purpose of which was to facilitate the

orderly transition from war to peace. All of the provisions of

this plan represent definite improvements in administration.

Several are essential steps in demobilizing the war effort. The

arrangements they provide for have been reviewed by the Congress in

connection with appropriation requests. Since the plan does not

change existing organization, savings cannot be claimed for it.

However, increased expense and disruption of operations would

result if the present organization were terminated and the

activities reverted to their former locations.

In addition to the matters dealt with in this reorganization plan

and in Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1947, there are several other

changes in organization made under title I of the First War Powers

Act on which action should be taken before the termination of the

title. The proposed legislation for a National Defense

Establishment provides for continuing the internal organizational

arrangements made in the Army and Navy pursuant to the First War

Powers Act. I have on several occasions recommended the creation of

a single agency for the administration of housing programs. Since

section 5(e) of the Reorganization Act of 1945 may cast some doubt

on my authority to assign responsibility for the liquidation of the

Smaller War Plants Corporation by reorganization plan, I recommend

that the Reconstruction Finance Corporation be authorized by

legislation to continue to liquidate the affairs relating to

functions transferred to it from the Smaller War Plants

Corporation.

It is imperative that title I of the First War Powers Act remain

effective until all of these matters have been dealt with. An

earlier termination of the title would destroy important advances

in organization and impair the ability of the executive branch to

administer effectively some of the major programs of the

Government.

I have found, after investigation, that each reorganization

contained in this plan is necessary to accomplish one or more of

the purposes set forth in section 2 (a) of the Reorganization Act

of 1945. Each of these reorganizations is explained below.

FUNCTIONS OF THE ALIEN PROPERTY CUSTODIAN

The reorganization plan provides for the permanent location of

the functions vested by statute in the Alien Property Custodian and

the Office of Alien Property Custodian. In 1934 the functions of

the Alien Property Custodian were transferred to the Department of

Justice, where they remained until 1942. Because of the great

volume of activity resulting from World War II, a separate Office

of Alien Property Custodian was created by Executive Order No. 9095

of March 11, 1942. This Office was terminated by Executive Order

No. 9788 of October 14, 1946, and the functions of the Office and

of the Alien Property Custodian were transferred to the Attorney

General except for those relating to Philippine property. The

latter were transferred simultaneously to the Philippine Alien

Property Administration established by Executive Order No. 9789.

While the Trading With the Enemy Act, as amended at the beginning

of the war, authorized the President to designate the agency or

person in which alien property should vest and to change such

designations, subsequent legislation has lodged certain functions

in the Alien Property Custodian and the Office of Alien Property

Custodian. Similarly, though the Philippine Property Act vested in

the President the then existing alien property functions as to

Philippine property, certain functions affecting such property have

since been established which have been assigned by statute to the

Alien Property Custodian.

In order to maintain the existing arrangements for the

administration of alien property and to avoid the confusion which

otherwise would occur on the termination of title I of the First

War Powers Act, the reorganization plan transfers to the Attorney

General all functions vested by law in the Alien Property Custodian

and the Office of Alien Property Custodian except as to Philippine

property. The functions relating to Philippine property are

transferred to the President, to be performed by such officer or

agency as he may designate, thus permitting the continued

administration of these functions through the Philippine Alien

Property Administration.

APPROVAL OF AGRICULTURAL MARKETING ORDERS

Section 8c of the Agricultural Marketing Agreements Act of 1937

provides that marketing orders of the Secretary of Agriculture must

in certain cases be approved by the President before issuance. In

order to relieve the President of an unnecessary burden, the

responsibility for approval was delegated to the Economic

Stabilization Director during the war, and was formally transferred

to him by Executive Order No. 9705 of March 15, 1946. Since the

Secretary of Agriculture is the principal adviser of the President

in matters relating to agriculture, and since final authority has

been assigned to the Secretary by law in many matters of equal or

greater importance, the requirement of Presidential approval of

individual marketing orders may well be discontinued. Accordingly,

the plan abolishes the function of the President relative to the

approval of such orders.

CONTRACT SETTLEMENT FUNCTIONS

The Office of Contract Settlement was established by law in 1944

and shortly thereafter was placed by statute in the Office of War

Mobilization and Reconversion. The principal purposes of the Office

of Contract Settlement have been to prescribe the policies,

regulations, and procedures governing the settlement of war

contracts, and to provide an appeal board to hear and decide

appeals from the contracting agencies in the settlement of

contracts. A remarkable record has been achieved for the rapid

settlement of war contracts, but among those which remain are some

of the largest and most complex. Considerable time may be required

to complete these cases and dispose of the appeals.

Though the functions of the Office of Contract Settlement cannot

yet be terminated, it is evident that they no longer warrant the

maintenance of a separate office. For this reason Executive Order

No. 9809 of December 12, 1946, transferred the functions of the

Director of Contract Settlement to the Secretary of the Treasury

and those of the Office of Contract Settlement to the Department of

the Treasury. As the central fiscal agency of the executive branch

the Treasury Department is clearly the logical organization to

carry to conclusion the over-all activities of the contract

settlement program. The plan continues the present arrangement and

abolishes the Office of Contract Settlement, thereby avoiding its

reestablishment as a separate agency on the termination of title I

of the First War Powers Act.

NATIONAL PROHIBITION ACT FUNCTIONS

The act of May 27, 1930 (46 Stat. 427), imposed upon the Attorney

General certain duties respecting administration and enforcement of

the National Prohibition Act. By Executive Order No. 6639 of March

10, 1934, all of the powers and duties of the Attorney General

respecting that act, except the power and authority to determine

and to compromise liability for taxes and penalties, were

transferred to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. The excepted

functions, however, were transferred subsequently to the

Commissioner of Internal Revenue by Executive Order No. 9302 of

February 9, 1943, issued under the authority of title I of the

First War Powers Act, 1941.

Since the functions of determining taxes and penalties under

various statutes and of compromise of liability therefor prior to

reference to the Attorney General for suit are well-established

functions of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, this minor

function under the National Prohibition Act is more appropriately

placed in the Bureau of Internal Revenue than in the Department of

Justice.

AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH FUNCTIONS

By Executive Order No. 9069 of February 23, 1942, six research

bureaus, the Office of Experiment Stations, and the Agricultural

Research Center were consolidated into an Agricultural Research

Administration to be administered by an officer designated by the

Secretary of Agriculture. The constituent bureaus and agencies of

the Administration have, in practice, retained their separate

identity. This consolidation and certain transfers of functions

between the constituent bureaus and agencies have all been

recognized and provided for in the subsequent appropriation acts

passed by the Congress.

By the plan the functions of the eight research bureaus and

agencies which are presently consolidated into the Agricultural

Research Administration are transferred to the Secretary of

Agriculture to be performed by him or under his direction and

control by such officers or agencies of the Department of

Agriculture as he may designate.

The benefits which have been derived from centralized review,

coordination, and control of research projects and functions by the

Agricultural Research Administrator have amply demonstrated the

lasting value of this consolidation. By transferring the functions

of the constituent bureaus and agencies to the Secretary of

Agriculture, it will be possible to continue this consolidation and

to make such further adjustments in the organization of

agricultural research activities as future conditions may require.

This assignment of functions to the Secretary is in accord with the

sound and long-established practice of the Congress of vesting

substantive functions in the Secretary of Agriculture rather than

in subordinate officers or agencies of the Department.

CREDIT UNION FUNCTIONS

The plan makes permanent the transfer of the administration of

Federal functions with respect to credit unions to the Federal

Deposit Insurance Corporation. These functions, originally placed

in the Farm Credit Administration, were transferred to the Federal

Deposit Insurance Corporation by Executive Order No. 9148 of April

27, 1942. Most credit unions are predominantly urban institutions,

and the credit-union program bears very little relation to the

functions of the Farm Credit Administration. The supervision of

credit unions fits in logically with the general bank supervisory

functions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Federal

Deposit Insurance Corporation since 1942 has successfully

administered the credit-union program, and the supervision of

credit-union examiners has been integrated into the field and

departmental organization of the Corporation. In the interests of

preserving an organizational arrangement which operates effectively

and economically, the program should remain in its present

location.

WAR ASSETS ADMINISTRATION

The present organization for the disposal of surplus property is

the product of 2 1/2 years of practical experience. Beginning with

the Surplus Property Board in charge of general policy and a group

of agencies designated by it to handle the disposal of particular

types of property, the responsibility for most of the surplus

disposal has gradually been drawn together in one agency - the War

Assets Administration - headed by a single Administrator.

Experience has demonstrated the desirability of centralized

responsibility in administering this most difficult program.

The reorganization plan will continue the centralization of

surplus disposal functions in a single agency headed by an

Administrator. This is accomplished by transferring the functions,

personnel, property, records, and funds of the War Assets

Administration created by Executive order to the statutory Surplus

Property Administration. In order to avoid confusion and to

maintain the continuity of operations, the name of the Surplus

Property Administration is changed to War Assets Administration.

Because the plan combines in one agency, not only the policy

functions now vested by statute in the Surplus Property

Administrator, but also the immense disposal operations now

concentrated in the temporary War Assets Administration, I have

found it necessary to provide in the plan for an Associate War

Assets Administrator, also appointed by the President with the

approval of the Senate. It is essential that there be an officer

who can assist the Administrator in the general management of the

agency and who can take over the direction of its operations in

case of the absence or disability of the Administrator or of a

vacancy in his office. Harry S. Truman.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

I am transmitting herewith Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1947,

prepared in accordance with the Reorganization Act of 1945. This

plan deals solely with housing. It simplifies, and increases the

efficiency of, the administrative organization of permanent housing

functions and provides for the administration of certain emergency

housing activities pending their liquidation. I have found, after

investigation, that each reorganization contained in this plan is

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

section 2 (a) of the Reorganization Act of 1945.

The provision of adequate housing will remain a major national

objective throughout the next decade. The primary responsibility

for meeting housing needs rests, and must continue to rest, with

private industry, as I have stated on other occasions. The Federal

Government, however, has an important role to play in stimulating

and facilitating home construction.

Over the years the Congress has provided for a number of

permanent housing programs, each involving a special approach to

the basic objective of more adequate housing for our citizens. The

Congress first enacted a series of measures to facilitate home

construction and home ownership by strengthening the savings and

loan type of home-financing institution. These measures

established a credit reserve system for such agencies, authorized

the chartering of Federal savings and loan associations to provide

more adequate home financing facilities, and provided for the

insurance of investments in savings and loan institutions in order

to attract savings into this field. The Congress also created a

system for the insurance of home loans and mortgages to stimulate

the flow of capital into home-mortgage lending and thereby

facilitate home ownership and improvement and increase home

construction. These measures were supplemented by legislation

extending financial assistance to local communities for the

clearance of slums and the provision of decent housing for families

of low income who otherwise would be forced to live in the slums.

It is significant that these programs were first established, and

have been continued, by the Congress because of their special

contributions to home construction and improvement.

In my message of January 6 on the state of the Union, I

recommended legislation establishing certain additional programs to

help to alleviate the housing shortage and achieve our national

objective of a decent home and a suitable living environment for

every American family. No lesser objective is commensurate with

the productive capacity and resources of the country or with the

dignity which a true democracy accords the individual citizen. The

Congress is now considering measures authorizing these programs. I

again recommend the early enactment of this legislation.

But whatever may be the permanent housing functions of the

Government, whether they be confined to the existing programs or

supplemented as the Congress may determine, they are inevitably

interrelated. They require coordination and supervision so that

each will render its full contribution without conflict with the

performance of other housing functions.

The Government, however, lacks an effective permanent

organization to coordinate and supervise the administration of its

principal housing programs. These programs and the machinery for

their administration were established piecemeal over a period of

years. The present consolidation of housing agencies and functions

in the National Housing Agency is only temporary. After the

termination of title I of the First War Powers Act this agency will

dissolve and the agencies and functions now administered in it will

revert to their former locations in the Government. When this

occurs, the housing programs of the Government will be scattered

among some 13 agencies in 7 departments and independent

establishments.

I need hardly point out that such a scattering of these

interrelated functions would not only be inefficient and wasteful

but also would seriously impair their usefulness. It would leave

the Government without effective machinery for the coordination and

supervision of its housing activities and would thrust upon the

Chief Executive an impossible burden of administrative supervision.

The grouping of housing functions in one establishment is

essential to assure that the housing policies established by the

Congress will be carried out with consistency of purpose and a

minimum of friction, duplication, and overlapping. A single

establishment will unquestionably make for greater efficiency and

economy. Moreover, it will simplify the task of the Congress and

the Chief Executive by enabling them to deal with one official and

hold one person responsible for the general supervision of housing

functions, whereas otherwise they will be forced to deal with a

number of uncoordinated officers and agencies.

It is vital that a sound permanent organization of housing

activities be established at the earliest possible date in order to

insure that housing functions will not be scattered among numerous

agencies, with consequent confusion and disruption. To avoid this

danger, and to accomplish the needed changes promptly, it is

desirable to employ a reorganization plan under the Reorganization

Act of 1945. No other area of Federal activity affords greater

opportunity than housing for accomplishing the objectives of the

Reorganization Act to group, consolidate, and coordinate functions,

reduce the number of agencies, and promote efficiency and economy;

and in no other area could the application of the Reorganization

Act be more appropriate and necessary.

In brief, this reorganization plan groups nearly all of the

permanent housing agencies and functions of the Government, and the

remaining emergency housing activities, in a Housing and Home

Finance Agency, with the following constituent operating agencies:

(a) A Home Loan Bank Board to administer the Federal Savings and

Loan Insurance Corporation, the Home Owners' Loan Corporation, and

the functions of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board and its members;

(b) a Federal Housing Administration with the same functions as now

provided by law for that agency; and (c) a Public Housing

Administration to take over the functions of the United States

Housing Authority and certain remaining emergency housing

activities pending the completion of their liquidation. Each

constituent agency will possess its individual identity and be

responsible for the operation of its program.

By reason of the reorganizations made by the plan, I have found

it necessary to include therein provisions for the appointment of

(1) an Administrator to head the Housing and Home Finance Agency,

(2) the three members of the Home Loan Bank Board, and (3) two

Commissioners to head the Federal Housing Administration and the

Public Housing Administration, respectively. Each of these

officers is to be appointed by the President by and with the advice

and consent of the Senate.

The plan places in the Housing and Home Finance Administrator the

functions heretofore vested in the Federal Loan Administrator and

the Federal Works Administrator with respect to the housing

agencies and functions formerly administered within the Federal

Loan and Federal Works Agencies, together with supervision and

direction of certain emergency housing activities for the remainder

of their existence.

Under the plan the Home Loan Bank Board and the Federal Housing

Administration will have the same status in, and relation to, the

Housing and Home Finance Agency and the Housing and Home Finance

Administrator as the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, and its related

agencies, and the Federal Housing Administration formerly had to

the Federal Loan Agency and the Federal Loan Administrator.

Similarly, the Public Housing Administration will have the same

status in, and relation to, the Housing and Home Finance Agency and

the Administrator as the United States Housing Authority formerly

had to the Federal Works Agency and the Federal Works

Administrator.

Since there are a few housing activities which it is not feasible

to place within the Housing and Home Finance Agency because they

form integral parts of other broad programs or because of specific

limitations in the Reorganization Act of 1945, the plan also

created a National Housing Council on which the Housing and Home

Finance Agency and its constituent agencies, and the other

departments and agencies having important housing functions, are

represented. In this way the plan provides machinery for promoting

the most effective use of all the housing functions of the

Government, for obtaining consistency between these functions and

the general economic and fiscal policies of the Government, and for

avoiding duplication and overlapping of activities.

To avoid a hiatus in the administration of housing functions,

pending the confirmation by the Senate of the new officers provided

for by the plan, it permits the designation by the President of

appropriate existing housing officials to perform temporarily the

functions of these officers. This period should be brief, as I

shall promptly submit nominations for the permanent officers.

Under the limitations contained in the Reorganization Act of

1945, the compensation of the Housing and Home Finance

Administrator and the other officers provided for by the plan,

cannot be fixed at a rate in excess of $10,000 per annum. Both the

temporary National Housing Administrator, provided for by Executive

Order No. 9070 and the Federal Housing Administrator, have received

salaries of $12,000 a year. I do not consider the salary of

$10,000 provided in the plan as compensation commensurate with the

responsibilities of the Administrator, the members of the Home Loan

Bank Board, and the Commissioners of the other constituent

agencies, or consistent with a salary scale which must be paid if

the Government is to attract and retain public servants of the

requisite caliber. Accordingly, I recommend that the Congress act

to increase the salary of the Housing and Home Finance

Administrator to $15,000 per annum, and to increase the salaries of

the members of the Home Loan Bank Board and the two Commissioners

provided for by this plan to $12,000 per annum.

The essential and important difference between the organization

established by the plan and the prewar arrangement, to which

housing agencies and functions would otherwise automatically revert

on the termination of title I of the First War Powers Act, is that

under the old arrangement these agencies and functions were

scattered among many different establishments primarily dealing

with matters other than housing, whereas under the plan the major

permanent housing programs are placed in a single establishment

concerned exclusively with housing. Thus, the plan effectuates the

basic objective enunciated by the Congress in the Reorganization

Act of 1945 of grouping agencies and functions by major purpose,

and provides the necessary framework for a more effective

administration of Federal housing activities in the postwar period.

reorganization plan.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

I transmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1949, prepared

in accordance with the provisions of the Reorganization Act of

1949. This plan transfers the Bureau of Employment Security, now in

the Federal Security Agency, to the Department of Labor and vests

in the Secretary of Labor the functions of the Federal Security

Administrator with respect to employment services and unemployment

compensation, the latter of which is now more commonly referred to

as unemployment insurance. The plan also transfers to the

Secretary of Labor the functions of the Veterans' Placement Service

Board and of its Chairman and abolishes that Board. These changes

are in general accord with recommendations made by the Commission

on Organization of the Executive Branch of the Government.

After investigation, I have found and hereby declare that each

reorganization included in Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1949 is

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

section 2(a) of said act. The primary benefits from these

reorganizations will take the form of improvements in

administration and service. It is probable that a significant

reduction in expenditures will result from the taking effect of the

plan as compared with the current estimates and work-load

assumptions contained in the 1950 budget as amended, but an

itemization of such savings is not possible in advance of the

transfer.

One of the major needs of the executive branch is a sound and

effective organization of labor functions. More than 35 years ago

the Federal Government's labor functions were brought together in

the Department of Labor. In recent years, however, the tendency has

been to disperse such functions throughout the Government. New

labor programs have been placed outside of the Department and some

of its most basic functions have been transferred from the

Department to other agencies.

In my judgment, this course has been fundamentally unsound and

should be reversed. The labor programs of the Federal Government

constitute a family of interrelated functions requiring generally

similar professional training and experience, involving numerous

overlapping problems, and calling for strong, unified leadership.

Together they form one of the most important areas of Federal

activity. It is imperative that the Labor Department be

strengthened and restored to its original position as the central

agency of the Government for dealing with labor problems.

BUREAU OF EMPLOYMENT SECURITY

One of the most essential steps in improving the organization of

labor functions is the transfer of the Bureau of Employment

Security to the Department of Labor. This Bureau administers the

activities of the Federal Government with respect to employment

services and unemployment insurance. These activities mainly

involve the review and apportionment of grants-in-aid, approval of

State plans and grants, the conduct of research and developmental

activities, and the provision of advice and assistance to the State

agencies which actually conduct the services.

Public employment services and unemployment insurance are

companion programs inextricably interrelated both in purpose and

operation. The first assists workers in finding jobs and employers

in obtaining workers; the second provides cash benefits for the

support of workers and their families when suitable jobs cannot be

obtained. Thus, each complements the other. At the local

operating level the two programs are almost invariably carried on

in the same unit - the local employment office. At the State level

they are administered by the same agency in nearly every State. As

a result, an unusually high degree of coordination at the Federal

level is essential.

There can be no question as to the basic consideration which must

govern the administration of both of these programs. From the

standpoint of all interested parties - the worker, the employer,

and the public - the primary concern is employment. Essential as

they are, unemployment benefits at a fraction of regular wages are

a poor substitute for the earnings from a steady job. In the

administration of these programs, therefore, primary attention must

be focused on achieving the maximum effectiveness of the employment

services. On them depend the prosperity and well-being of the

worker and the extent of the unemployment-compensation burden on

the employer and the public.

I have long been convinced that the Department of Labor is the

agency which can contribute most to the development of sound and

efficient employment service. It has the understanding of

employment problems and of the operation of the labor market which

is essential in this field. It possesses the necessary specialists

and the wealth of information on occupations, employment trends,

wage rates, working conditions, labor legislation and other matters

essential to employment counseling and placement.

Close working relations between the United States Employment

Service and most of the agencies of the Labor Department are vital

to the success of both. The Bureau of Labor Statistics has a fund

of information on employment and occupations which is basic to the

planning and operation of the Service. The Women's Bureau and the

Child Labor Branch of the Wage and Hour Division afford expert

advice on employment problems relating to women and adolescents.

The Bureau of Labor Standards can assist the Service on questions

of working conditions and other labor standards, and the Bureau of

Apprenticeship on occupational-training problems. At the same time

the various agencies of the Labor Department need the detailed

current information on labor problems and the condition of the

labor market which the United States Employment Service possesses.

Experience has demonstrated that unemployment insurance must be

administered in close relationship with employment service and

other employment programs. In many of our industrial States, and

in most foreign countries, unemployment insurance is administered

by the agency responsible for labor functions. Furthermore, the

unemployment-insurance system has a vital stake in the

effectiveness of the program for employment services, for what

benefits the employment service also benefits the

unemployment-insurance program.

The transfer of the Bureau of Employment Security, including the

United States Employment Service and the Unemployment Insurance

Service, together with the functions thereof, will give assurance

that primary emphasis will be placed on the improvement of the

employment services and that maximum effort will be made to provide

jobs in lieu of cash benefits.

The plan also transfers to the Department of Labor the Federal

Advisory Council created by the act establishing the United States

Employment Service. This Council consists of outstanding

representatives of labor, management, and the public who are

especially familiar with employment problems.

VETERANS' PLACEMENT SERVICE BOARD

Although the Veterans' Employment Service operates through the

regular employment office system, its policies are determined by

the Veterans' Placement Service Board created by the Servicemen's

Readjustment Act of 1944. This Board consists of the heads of three

Federal agencies, only one of which administers employment

services. Furthermore, the full-time director of the Service is

appointed by the Chairman of this Board, who is not otherwise

engaged in employment-service activity, rather than by the head of

the agency within which the service is administered. Such an

arrangement is cumbersome and results in an undue division of

authority and responsibility.

In order to simplify the administration of the Veterans'

Employment Service and assure the fullest cooperation between it

and the general employment service, the plan eliminates the

Veterans' Placement Service Board and transfers its functions and

those of its Chairman to the Secretary of Labor. By thus

concentrating responsibility for the success of the Service, the

plan will make for better service to the veteran seeking employment

or vocational counseling.

This plan is a major step in the rebuilding and strengthening of

the Department of Labor, which I am convinced is essential to the

sound and efficient organization of the executive branch of the

Government. Harry S. Truman.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

I transmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1949, prepared

in accordance with the provisions of the Reorganization Act of

1949. This plan constitutes an important first step in

strengthening the organization of the Post Office Department.

One of the prime essentials of good departmental administration

is authority from the Congress to a department head to organize and

control his department. The Commission on Organization of the

executive branch of the Government emphasized in its first and

subsequent reports that separate authorities to subordinates should

be eliminated. The plan gives the Postmaster General the necessary

authority to organize and control his Department by transferring to

him the functions of all subordinate officers and agencies of the

Post Office Department, including the functions of each Assistant

Postmaster General, the Purchasing Agent, the Comptroller, and the

Bureau of Accounts. The Postmaster General is authorized to

delegate to subordinates designated by him such of his functions as

he may deem appropriate.

The Postmaster General is responsible for the management of one

of the world's largest businesses. Like the head of any large

business, the Postmaster General should be given adequate top-level

assistance in carrying on the operations of the Department so that

he may have time to devote to matters of departmental and public

policy. In order to provide needed assistance to the Postmaster

General, the plan establishes the positions of Deputy Postmaster

General, and four Assistant Postmasters General, comparable to the

positions of Under Secretary and Assistant Secretaries in other

departments.

The plan also establishes an Advisory Board for the Post Office

Department, composed of the Postmaster General, the Deputy

Postmaster General, and seven other members representing the public

who shall be appointed by the President by and with the advice and

consent of the Senate. The Advisory Board will make available to

the Postmaster General the advice of outstanding private citizens

and will afford a useful channel for the interchange of views

between postal officials and the public concerning the operations

of the postal service.

I have found after investigation that each reorganization

contained in the plan is necessary to accomplish one or more of the

purposes set forth in section 2(a) of the Reorganization Act of

1949. I have also found and hereby declare that by reason of the

reorganization made by this plan, it is necessary to include in the

plan provisions for the appointment and compensation of the Deputy

Postmaster General, four Assistant Postmasters General, and members

of the Advisory Board for the Post Office Department. The plan

abolishes the Bureau of Accounts of the Post Office Department and

the offices of Comptroller, Purchasing Agent, First, Second, Third,

and Fourth Assistant Postmasters General.

This plan carries into effect those of the recommendations of the

Commission on Organization of the Executive Branch of the

Government respecting the Post Office Department which can be

accomplished under the provisions of the Reorganization Act. I am

also transmitting to the Congress recommendations for legislation

which will implement other recommendations of the Commission and

place the operations of the Post Office Department on a more

businesslike basis.

The primary result of this reorganization plan will be more

effective administration. Although a substantial reduction in

expenditures will not be brought about by the plan alone, major

economies can be achieved over a period of time as a result of this

plan and the enactment of the postal legislation which I am

recommending to the Congress. Harry S. Truman.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT

The National Security Council and the National Security Resources

Board, together with their respective functions, records, property,

personnel, and unexpended balances of appropriations, allocations,

and other funds (available or to be made available), are hereby

transferred to the Executive Office of the President.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

I transmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 4 of 1949, prepared

in accordance with the provisions of the Reorganization Act of

1949. The plan transfers the National Security Council and the

National Security Resources Board to the Executive Office of the

President. After investigation I have found, and I hereby declare,

that each reorganization included in the plan is necessary to

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

the Reorganization Act of 1949.

The growth of the executive branch and the increasingly complex

nature of the problems with which it must deal have greatly

intensified the necessity of strong and well-coordinated staff

facilities to enable the President to meet his responsibilities for

the effective administration of the executive branch of the

Government. Ten years ago several of the staff agencies of the

executive branch were brought together in the Executive Office of

the President under the immediate direction of the President. The

wisdom of this step has been demonstrated by greatly improved staff

assistance to the President, which has contributed importantly to

the management of the Government during the trying years of war and

of postwar adjustment.

Since the creation of the Executive Office of the President,

however, the Congress has further recognized the need for more

adequate central staff and created two new important staff agencies

to assist the President - the National Security Council and the

National Security Resources Board. The primary function of the

first of these agencies, as defined by statute, is -

to advise the President with respect to the integration of

domestic, foreign, and military policies relating to the

national security.

The function of the second is -

to advise the President concerning the coordination of military,

industrial, and civilian mobilization.

Within their respective fields these agencies assist the

President in developing plans and policies which extend beyond the

responsibility of any single department of the Government. In this

they play a role similar in character to that of the various units

of the Executive Office of the President. In fact, many of the

problems with which they deal require close collaboration with the

agencies of the Executive Office.

Since the principal purpose of the National Security Council and

the National Security Resources Board is to advise and assist the

President and their work needs to be coordinated to the fullest

degree with that of other staff arms of the President, such as the

Bureau of the Budget and the Council of Economic Advisers, it is

highly desirable that they be incorporated in the Executive Office

of the President. The importance of this transfer was recognized by

the Commission on Organization of the Executive Branch of the

Government, which specifically recommended such a change as one of

the essential steps in strengthening the staff facilities of the

President and improving the over-all management of the executive

branch.

Because of the necessity of coordination with other staff

agencies, the National Security Council and the National Security

Resources Board are physically located with the Executive Office of

the President and I have taken steps to assure close working

relations between them and the agencies of the Executive Office.

This plan, therefore, will bring their legal status into accord

with existing administrative practice. It is not probable that the

reorganizations included in the plan will immediately result in

reduced expenditures. They will, however, provide a firm

foundation for maintaining and furthering the efficient

administrative relationships already established, and for assuring

that we have provided permanent arrangements vitally necessary to

the national security. Harry S. Truman.

UNITED STATES MARITIME COMMISSION

SECTION 1. ADMINISTRATION OF FUNCTIONS OF COMMISSION

The Chairman of the United States Maritime Commission shall be

the chief executive and administrative officer of the United States

Maritime Commission. In executing and administering on behalf of

the Commission its functions (exclusive of functions transferred by

the provisions of section 2 of this reorganization plan) the

Chairman shall be governed by the policies, regulatory decisions,

findings, and determinations of the Commission.

SEC. 2. TRANSFER OF FUNCTIONS

There are hereby transferred from the United States Maritime

Commission to the Chairman of the Commission the functions of the

Commission with respect to (1) the appointment and supervision of

all personnel employed under the Commission, (2) the distribution

of business among such personnel and among organizational units of

the Commission, and (3) the use and expenditure of funds for

administrative purposes: Provided, That the provisions of this

section do not extend to personnel employed regularly and full time

in the offices of members of the Commission other than the

Chairman: Provided further, That the heads of the major

administrative units shall be appointed by the Chairman only after

consultation with the other members of the Commission.

SEC. 3. PERFORMANCE OF TRANSFERRED FUNCTIONS

The functions of the Chairman under the provisions of this

reorganization plan shall be performed by him or, subject to his

supervision and direction, by such officers and employees under his

jurisdiction as he shall designate.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

I transmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 6 of 1949, prepared

in accordance with the Reorganization Act of 1949. This plan is

designed to strengthen the administration of the United States

Maritime Commission by making the Chairman and the chief executive

and administrative officer of the Commission and vesting in him

responsibility for the appointment of its personnel and the

supervision and direction of their activities. After

investigation, I have found and hereby declare that each

reorganization included in this plan is necessary to accomplish one

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

Reorganization Act of 1949.

Unlike other major regulatory commissions, the Maritime

Commission is responsible not only for the performance of important

regulatory functions but also for the administration of large and

complex operating and promotional programs. Whereas the budgets of

most regulatory agencies amount to only a few million dollars

annually, the expenditures of the Maritime Commission exceed

$130,000,000 a year. As a result of the war the Commission is the

owner of a fleet of over 2,300 ships, aggregating more than

23,000,000 dead-weight tons.

While it is the policy of the Government, as set forth by the

Merchant Marine Act of 1936 and the Merchant Ship Sales Act of

1946, to develop and maintain an adequate and effective merchant

marine under private ownership, the Commission is still confronted

with the necessity of carrying on substantial programs for the

charter and sale of Government-owned vessels and with the

continuing task of maintaining the reserve merchant fleet.

Apart from its functions with respect to the war-built fleet, the

accomplishment of the Government's permanent objective with respect

to the development of the American merchant marine inevitably

involves the Commission to a wide variety of activities. Among

these are the regulation of rates and competitive practices of

water carriers, the determination of essential trade routes and

services, the award of subsidies to offset differences between

American and foreign costs, the design and construction of ships,

the inspection of subsidized vessels, and the training of seamen.

In the last 2 years the operation of the Maritime Commission has

been subjected to independent examination by three bodies - the

President's Advisory Committee on the Merchant Marine, the Senate

Committee on Expenditures in the Executive Departments, and the

Commission on Organization of the Executive Branch of the

Government. All of these studies have pointed to difficulties in

the conduct of the Commission's business and the necessity of

improved organization to strengthen the administration of the

agencies. The remedies proposed have differed in some respects,

but all the studies have emphasized the need of concentrating in a

single official the management of a large part of the agency's

work.

During the war such a concentration was temporarily accomplished

by Executive order under the authority of the First War Powers Act.

In effect, the Chairman of the Commission, as War Shipping

Administrator, was made directly responsible for the administration

of several major operating programs of the Commission. This

arrangement proved its value under the stress of war. About a year

after the end of the fighting, however, it was terminated and the

organization reverted to the prewar pattern.

As a result of postwar experience, the Commission appointed a

general manager in 1948. While this has brought considerable

improvement, it has not extricated the Commission from

administration to the degree which is desirable.

After careful consideration of the problems involved in improving

the operation of the Maritime Commission, I have concluded that the

proper action at this time is to concentrate in the Chairman the

responsibility for the internal administration of the agency. This

is achieved by the proposed reorganization plan by transferring to

the Chairman the appointment of the personnel of the agency, except

for the immediate assistants of the Commissioners, and the

supervision and direction of their work. This is substantially the

arrangement recommended for regulatory commissions by the

Commission on Organization of the Executive Branch of the

Government.

Such a plan of organization has many advantages. It leaves in

the Commission as a body the performance of regulatory functions,

the determination of subsidies, and the determination of major

policies. Thus, it utilizes the Commission for the type of work

for which such a body is best adapted. At the same time the plan

places under a single official the day-to-day direction of the work

of the staff within the policies and determinations adopted by the

Commission in the exercise of its functions. This will provide

more businesslike administration and help to overcome the delays,

backlogs, and operating difficulties which have hampered the

agency. At the same time by freeing the members of the Commission

of much detail, the plan will enable them to concentrate on major

questions of policy and program and thereby will obtain earlier and

better considered resolution of the basic problems of the agency.

Though the taking effect of this plan in itself may not result in

substantial immediate economies, it is probable that the improved

organizational arrangements will bring about, over a period of

time, improved operations and substantially reduced expenditures.

An itemization of these reductions, however, in advance if actual

experience under the plan is not practicable.

I am convinced that this reorganization plan will contribute

importantly to the more businesslike and efficient administration

of the programs of the Maritime Commission. Harry S. Truman.

PUBLIC ROADS ADMINISTRATION

SECTION 1. TRANSFER OF PUBLIC ROADS ADMINISTRATION

including the functions of the Commissioner of Public Roads, is

hereby transferred to the Department of Transportation and shall be

administered by the Commissioner of Public Roads subject to the

direction and control of the Secretary of Transportation.

SEC. 2. TRANSFER OF CERTAIN FUNCTIONS OF FEDERAL WORKS

ADMINISTRATOR

All functions of the Federal Works Administrator with respect to

the agency and functions transferred by the provisions of section 1

hereof are hereby transferred to the Secretary of Transportation

and shall be performed by the Secretary or, subject to his

direction and control, by such officers, employees, and agencies of

the Department of Transportation as the Secretary shall designate.

SEC. 3. RECORDS, PROPERTY, PERSONNEL, AND FUNDS

There are hereby transferred to the Department of Transportation,

to be used, employed, and expended in connection with the functions

transferred by the provisions of this reorganization plan, the

records and property now being used or held in connection with such

functions, the personnel employed in connection with such

functions, together with the Commissioner of Public Roads, and the

unexpended balances of appropriations, allocations, and other funds

available or to be made available for use in connection with such

functions. Such further measures and dispositions as the Director

of the Bureau of the Budget shall determine to be necessary in

order to effectuate the transfers provided for in this section

shall be carried out in such manner as the Director shall direct

and by such agencies as he shall designate.

SEC. 4. EFFECT OF REORGANIZATION PLAN

The provisions of this reorganization plan shall become effective

notwithstanding the status of the Public Roads Administration

within the Federal Works Agency or within any other agency

immediately prior to the effective date of this reorganization

plan.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

I transmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 7 of 1949, prepared

in accordance with the provisions of the Reorganization Act of

1949. This plan transfers the Public Roads Administration to the

Department of Commerce. After investigation I have found and hereby

declare that each reorganization included in this plan is necessary

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

of the Reorganization Act of 1949.

This plan directly carries out the recommendation of the

Commission on Organization of the Executive Branch of the

Government with respect to the Public Roads Administration. That

the Department of Commerce is the appropriate location for the

Public Roads Administration in the executive branch is evident from

the nature of its functions and the basic purpose of the

Department. The Public Roads Administration is primarily engaged in

planning and financing the development of the highways which

provide the essential facilities for motor transportation

throughout the country. Thus, it comes directly within the purpose

of the Department of Commerce, as defined by its organic act, which

provides:

It shall be the province and duty of said Department to foster,

promote, and develop the foreign and domestic commerce * * * and

the transportation facilities of the United States.

In its reorganization proposals the Commission on Organization of

the Executive Branch of the Government adhered to the statutory

definition of the functions and role of the Department of Commerce.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Congress likewise were

guided by this concept of the Department in transferring to it the

Civil Aeronautics Administration and the Inland Waterways

Corporation under the Reorganization Act of 1939. A careful review

of the structure of the executive branch reveals no other

department or agency in which the Public Roads Administration can

so appropriately be located.

The desirability of this transfer of the Public Roads

Administration is further emphasized by its relation to the Federal

Property and Administrative Services bill now pending in the

Senate. This bill creates a new General Services Administration and

concentrates in it the principal central administrative service

programs of the executive branch. The bill also revises the basic

legislation on property management. It has been passed by the

House of Representatives by an overwhelming vote and unanimously

reported by the Senate Committee on Expenditures in the Executive

Departments and awaits final action on the floor of the Senate.

This measure substantially conforms to recommendations which I

submitted to the Congress more than a year ago and to proposals

more recently presented by the Commission on Organization of the

Executive Branch of the Government, with which I concur. The

enactment of this bill will constitute an important step in

increasing the efficiency of Federal administration. Since the

bill makes permanent provision for the disposal of surplus

property, now handled by the War Assets Administration which will

expire by law on June 30, early enactment is vital.

In establishing the General Services Administration the Federal

Property and Administrative Services bill transfers to the

Administration all of the functions and units of the Federal Works

Agency. Part of these functions relating to the housing of the

governmental establishment clearly fall within the purpose of such

an Administration. Certain other functions of the Federal Works

Agency, however, bear very little real relation to the objectives

of the General Services Administration. The congressional

committees which have dealt with the bill have frankly indicated

that further consideration must be given to the proper location of

some of the programs of the Federal Works Agency. The sooner these

unrelated programs can be removed from the new agency, the sooner

it can concentrate its efforts upon improving administrative

services throughout the executive branch and make the contribution

to governmental efficiency for which it has been designed.

Principal among the programs of the Federal Works Agency which

are unrelated to the General Services Administration are those of

the Public Roads Administration. This agency is primarily engaged

in the administration of Federal grants to States for highway

purposes rather than in the performance of services for other

Federal agencies. Its functions, therefore, do not fall within the

field of activities of the General Services Administration. Their

inclusion cannot but complicate and impede the development of the

General Services Administration in the performance of its intended

purpose. This reorganization plan will eliminate such a

difficulty.

Since the Public Roads Administration will be transferred bodily

from one major agency to another, it is not to be expected that

this reorganization will directly result in any appreciable

reduction in its expenditures at this time. However, the plan will

make for better organization and direction of Federal programs

relating to transportation. Assuming the early enactment of the

Federal Property and Administrative Services bill, the plan will

also materially simplify the development of the proposed General

Services Administration and thereby facilitate improvements in the

efficiency of administrative services throughout the Government.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

I transmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1950, prepared

in accordance with the Reorganization Act of 1949 and providing for

reorganizations in the Department of Justice. My reasons for

transmitting this plan are stated in an accompanying general

message.

After investigation I have found and hereby declare that each

reorganization included in Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1950 is

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

section 2 (a) of the Reorganization Act of 1949.

I have found and hereby declare that it is necessary to include

in the accompanying reorganization plan, by reason of

reorganizations made thereby, provisions for the appointment and

compensation of an Assistant Attorney General and an Administrative

Assistant Attorney General. The rate of compensation fixed for

these officers is that which I have found to prevail in respect of

comparable officers in the executive branch of the Government.

The taking effect of the reorganizations included in this plan

may not in itself result in substantial immediate savings.

However, many benefits in improved operations are probable during

the next years which will result in a reduction in expenditures as

compared with those that would be otherwise necessary. An

itemization of these reductions in advance of actual experience

under this plan is not practicable. Harry S. Truman.

records, property, personnel, and unexpended balances (available or

to be made available) of appropriations, allocations, and other

funds of such Department as he may deem necessary in order to carry

out the provisions of this reorganization plan.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

I transmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1950, prepared

in accordance with the Reorganization Act of 1949 and providing for

reorganizations in the Department of the Interior. My reasons for

transmitting this plan are stated in an accompanying general

message.

After investigation I have found and hereby declare that each

reorganization included in Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1950 is

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

section 2(a) of the Reorganization Act of 1949.

I have found and hereby declare that it is necessary to include

in the accompanying reorganization plan, by reason of

reorganizations made thereby, provisions for the appointment and

compensation of an Assistant Secretary of the Interior and an

Administrative Assistant Secretary of the Interior. The rate of

compensation fixed for these officers is that which I have found to

prevail in respect of comparable officers in the executive branch

of the Government.

The taking effect of the reorganizations included in this plan

may not in itself result in substantial immediate savings.

However, many benefits in improved operations are probable during

the next years which will result in a reduction in expenditures as

compared with those that would be otherwise necessary. An

itemization of these reductions in advance of actual experience

under this plan is not practicable. Harry S. Truman.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Congress of the United States:

I transmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 14 of 1950, prepared

in accordance with the provisions of the Reorganization Act of

1949. For the purpose of coordinating the administration of labor

standards under various statutes relating to Federal construction

and public works or to construction with federally financed

assistance or guaranties, the reorganization plan authorizes the

Secretary of Labor to prescribe appropriate standards, regulations,

and procedures with respect to these matters and to make such

investigations concerning compliance with, and enforcement of,

labor standards as he deems desirable. The purpose is to assure

consistent and effective enforcement of such standards.

The plan is in general accord with the recommendations of the

Commission on Organization of the Executive Branch of the

Government. It constitutes a further step in rebuilding and

strengthening the Department of Labor to make it the central agency

of the Government for dealing with labor problems.

After investigation I have found and hereby declare that the

reorganization contained in this plan is necessary to accomplish

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

Reorganization Act of 1949.

There are several laws regulating wages and hours of workers

employed on Federal contracts for public works or construction.

The ''eight hour laws'' limit the employment of laborers and

mechanics on such projects to 8 hours per day and permit their

employment in excess of that limit only upon condition that time

and one-half the basic-wage rate is paid for the excess hours. The

Davis-Bacon Act provides that the minimum rates of pay for laborers

and mechanics on certain Federal public-works contracts shall be

those prevailing for the corresponding classes of workers in the

locality as determined by the Secretary of Labor. The Copeland

anti-kick-back law prohibits the exact
