1477. 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.

1479. 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.
