361. Roy Ash argues that the current structure of the government's executive departments is in need of a major overhaul. The President's proposed changes will create four smaller departments, each with more manageable functions. The effectiveness of an agency does not solely depend on its size, but rather on its internal structure and distribution of authority. Ash suggests that the President should have more direct involvement in resolving important issues that require his personal attention.

363. Roy Ash, president of Litton Industries, developed a governmental reorganization plan that could save $5 billion annually. The plan involves merging several departments and agencies with overlapping functions, but faces opposition from Congress and special interest groups. Ash believes that a substantial amount of the reorganization could be accomplished in the current generation, and that streamlining government would result in a "management dividend" of increased efficiency and cost savings. The plan is based on past commissions and recommendations from Nixon's administration.

367. President Nixon has proposed a reorganization of the Federal Government, consolidating seven Cabinet-level departments into four new departments. The plan aims to improve efficiency and service delivery, regrouping departments based on broad missions rather than specific constituencies. The Department of Natural Resources, Human Resources, Community Development, and Economic Affairs would be created. The reorganization includes transferring responsibilities and programs between departments to better align with their missions. Some changes, such as merging Labor and Commerce into the Department of Economic Affairs, are seen as bold moves that may face opposition but are necessary for reform.

370. The Citizens Committee for Government Reorganization is a group focused on educating the public about the benefits of executive reorganization within the Federal Government. They are not supporting specific bills but rather the general idea of reorganization. The committee is funded through private contributions and is not affiliated with the President or other government committees. They believe reorganization can improve government effectiveness by reducing fragmentation and improving policy coordination. They do not support creating unmanageable departments like HEW and are focused solely on departmental reorganization, not regulatory agencies.
