                                ON

                   THE PRESIDENT'S DEPARTMENTAL
                      REORGANIZATION PROGRAM



Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     We appreciate this opportunity to appear before your subcommittee,

to present our views on the administrative provisions of four bills

(H.R. 6959, H.R. 6960, H.R. 6961, and H.R. 6962) which have been

introduced to carry out the President's Departmental Reorganization

Program. The program would reorganize the executive branch by con-

solidating seven departments (Agriculture, Commerce, HEW, HUD, Interior,

Labor and Transportation) and numerous executive agencies into four new

cabinet-level departments. The Departments of Defense, Justice, State

and Treasury would not be changed under the President's proposal.
