Sec. 901. Purpose

-STATUTE-

(a) The Congress declares that it is the policy of the United

States -

(1) to promote the better execution of the laws, the more

effective management of the executive branch and of its agencies

and functions, and the expeditious administration of the public

business;

(2) to reduce expenditures and promote economy to the fullest

extent consistent with the efficient operation of the Government;

(3) to increase the efficiency of the operations of the

Government to the fullest extent practicable;

(4) to group, coordinate, and consolidate agencies and

functions of the Government, as nearly as may be, according to

major purposes;

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

having similar functions under a single head, 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.

(b) Congress declares that the public interest demands the

carrying out of the purposes of subsection (a) of this section and

that the purposes may be accomplished in great measure by

proceeding under this chapter, and can be accomplished more

speedily thereby than by the enactment of specific legislation.

(c) It is the intent of Congress that the President should

provide appropriate means for broad citizen advice and

participation in restructuring and reorganizing the executive

branch.

(d) The President shall from time to time examine the

organization of all agencies and shall determine what changes in

such organization are necessary to carry out any policy set forth

in subsection (a) of this section.

In paragraph (1)(A), the words ''an Executive agency or part

department, commission, council, independent establishment,

Government corporation, board, bureau, division, service, . . .

authority, administration, or other establishment, in the executive

branch of the Government'' and to conform to the definition in

section 105.

In paragraph (1)(B), the words ''an office or officer in the

civil service or uniformed services in or under an Executive

agency'' are substituted for ''office, officer, . . . in the

executive branch of the Government'' to conform to the definitions

in sections 105, 2101, and 2104.

Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions

applicable and the style of this title as outlined in the preface

to the report.

1967 ACT

This section amends section 902 of title 5, United States Code,

so as to preserve the application of the source statute for section

902 (sec. 7 of the Reorganization Act of 1949). In the codification

of title 5 by Public Law 89-554, that application was inadvertently

restricted due to the operation of section 2104 of title 5,

providing a title-wide definition of ''officer.'' Briefly, that

section defines ''officer'' as a civil appointive officer of the

Federal Government. In the Reorganization Act of 1949, the word

''officer'' was not defined, and has been construed to include not

only civil appointive officers, but uniformed officers, the

President, and officers of the government of the District of

Columbia. Thus, this section amends section 902 of title 5 by

inserting a paragraph providing that the title-wide definition of

officer is inapplicable to chapter 9 of title 5. Also, paragraph

(1)(B) of section 902 is amended so that the wording thereof is

identical to that formerly appearing in section 7 of the

Reorganization Act of 1949.

Sec. 903. Reorganization plans

-STATUTE-

(a) Whenever the President, after investigation, finds that

changes in the organization of agencies are necessary to carry out

any policy set forth in section 901(a) of this title, he shall

prepare a reorganization plan specifying the reorganizations he

finds are necessary. Any plan may provide for -

(1) the transfer of the whole or a part of an agency, or of the

whole or a part of the functions thereof, to the jurisdiction and

control of another agency;

(2) the abolition of all or a part of the functions of an

agency, except that no enforcement function or statutory program

shall be abolished by the plan;

(3) the consolidation or coordination of the whole or a part of

an agency, or of the whole or a part of the functions thereof,

with the whole or a part of another agency or the functions

thereof;

(4) the consolidation or coordination of part of an agency or

the functions thereof with another part of the same agency or the

functions thereof;

(5) the authorization of an officer to delegate any of his

functions; or

(6) the abolition of the whole or a part of an agency which

agency or part does not have, or on the taking effect of the

reorganization plan will not have, any functions.

The President shall transmit the plan (bearing an identification

number) to the Congress together with a declaration that, with

respect to each reorganization included in the plan, he has found

that the reorganization is necessary to carry out any policy set

forth in section 901(a) of this title.

(b) The President shall have a reorganization plan delivered to

both Houses on the same day and to each House while it is in

session, except that no more than three plans may be pending before

the Congress at one time. In his message transmitting a

reorganization plan, the President shall specify with respect to

each abolition of a function included in the plan the statutory

authority for the exercise of the function. The message shall also

estimate any reduction or increase in expenditures (itemized so far

as practicable), and describe any improvements in management,

delivery of Federal services, execution of the laws, and increases

in efficiency of Government operations, which it is expected will

be realized as a result of the reorganizations included in the

plan. In addition, the President's message shall include an

implementation section which shall (1) describe in detail (A) the

actions necessary or planned to complete the reorganization, (B)

the anticipated nature and substance of any orders, directives, and

other administrative and operational actions which are expected to

be required for completing or implementing the reorganization, and

(C) any preliminary actions which have been taken in the

implementation process, and (2) contain a projected timetable for

completion of the implementation process. The President shall also

submit such further background or other information as the Congress

may require for its consideration of the plan.

(c) Any time during the period of 60 calendar days of continuous

session of Congress after the date on which the plan is transmitted

to it, but before any resolution described in section 909 has been

ordered reported in either House, the President may make amendments

or modifications to the plan, consistent with sections 903-905 of

this title, which modifications or revisions shall thereafter be

treated as a part of the reorganization plan originally transmitted

and shall not affect in any way the time limits otherwise provided

for in this chapter. The President may withdraw the plan any time

prior to the conclusion of 90 calendar days of continuous session

of Congress following the date on which the plan is submitted to

Congress.

(a) A statute enacted, and a regulation or other action made,

prescribed, issued, granted, or performed in respect of or by an

agency or function affected by a reorganization under this chapter,

before the effective date of the reorganization, has, except to the

extent rescinded, modified, superseded, or made inapplicable by or

under authority of law or by the abolition of a function, the same

effect as if the reorganization had not been made. However, if the

statute, regulation, or other action has vested the functions in

the agency from which it is removed under the reorganization plan,

the function, insofar as it is to be exercised after the plan

becomes effective, shall be deemed as vested in the agency under

which the function is placed by the plan.

(b) For the purpose of subsection (a) of this section,

''regulation or other action'' means a regulation, rule, order,

policy, determination, directive, authorization, permit, privilege,

requirement, designation, or other action.

(c) A suit, action, or other proceeding lawfully commenced by or

against the head of an agency or other officer of the United

States, in his official capacity or in relation to the discharge of

his official duties, does not abate by reason of the taking effect

of a reorganization plan under this chapter. On motion or

supplemental petition filed at any time within twelve months after

the reorganization plan takes effect, showing a necessity for a

survival of the suit, action, or other proceeding to obtain a

settlement of the questions involved, the court may allow the suit,

action, or other proceeding to be maintained by or against the

successor of the head or officer under the reorganization effected

by the plan or, if there is no successor, against such agency or

officer as the President designates.

(d) The appropriations or portions of appropriations unexpended

by reason of the operation of the chapter may not be used for any

purpose, but shall revert to the Treasury.

(a) When the committee has reported, or has been deemed to be

discharged (under section 911) from further consideration of, a

resolution with respect to a reorganization plan, it is at any time

thereafter in order (even though a previous motion to the same

effect has been disagreed to) for any Member of the respective

House to move to proceed to the consideration of the resolution.

The motion is highly privileged and is not debatable. The motion

shall not be subject to amendment, or to a motion to postpone, or a

motion to proceed to the consideration of other business. A motion

to reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to or

disagreed to shall not be in order. If a motion to proceed to the

consideration of the resolution is agreed to, the resolution shall

remain the unfinished business of the respective House until

disposed of.

(b) Debate on the resolution, and on all debatable motions and

appeals in connection therewith, shall be limited to not more than

ten hours, which shall be divided equally between individuals

favoring and individuals opposing the resolution. A motion further

to limit debate is in order and not debatable. An amendment to, or

a motion to postpone, or a motion to proceed to the consideration

of other business, or a motion to recommit the resolution is not in

order. A motion to reconsider the vote by which the resolution is

passed or rejected shall not be in order.

(c) Immediately following the conclusion of the debate on the

resolution with respect to a reorganization plan, and a single

quorum call at the conclusion of the debate if requested in

accordance with the rules of the appropriate House, the vote on

final passage of the resolution shall occur.

(d) Appeals from the decisions of the Chair relating to the

application of the rules of the Senate or the House of

Representatives, as the case may be, to the procedure relating to a

resolution with respect to a reorganization plan shall be decided

without debate.

(e) If, prior to the passage by one House of a resolution of that

House, that House receives a resolution with respect to the same

reorganization plan from the other House, then -

(1) the procedure in that House shall be the same as if no

resolution had been received from the other House; but

(2) the vote on final passage shall be on the resolution of the

other House.
