'f *>. jf ... - khii^ Reporti Ifs high time for the federal government to do some house cleaning and furniture rearranging. There comes a moment in every household as the children are growing when the parents must get rid of the baby bed and the playpen to make room for bicycles and kites and bookcases. The moment has come for the federal government to get rid of outdated agencies and to rearrange others for the best possible use in a changing world. Such changes are long overdue. There has not been a reorganization of Congress since 1946, when the number of standing committees was drastically cut back. There has not been a major attempt at reorganization of the Executive branch since the Hoover commission report of 1948. In the two decades alone which have passed since then, America's population has increased 50 million. Our nation has changed from an essentially rural land to one which is largely urban. The Space Age, and in truth, technological advances which dwarf any other era in history, have taken place. And perhaps most important of all, there are voices in our society asserting themselves--often loudly--for the first time, ft may be hard to accept for many who cling to the status quo, but things are not going to be like they used to be and we might just . as well realize it. » The federal government must \ reflect, these fundamental changes in our style of living. During his campaign President- elect Nixon proposed establishment of a new Committee on Government Reorganization which would be given'an even broader mandate to study the Executive branch thanthe Hoover commission had. Mr. Nixon said: In , giving a new pride of place to the individual, the need is not to dismantle government, but to modernize it. One of the first tasks of the next President should be to set in motion a searching fundamental reappraisal of our whole structure of government--not only of the federal departments and agencies, but also of state and local government, and its relation to the federal structure. It is widely agreed that reorganization would eliminate duplication of efforts and conflicts among the agencies. Reorganization would permit the coordination of planning and implementation to deal with complex problems and programs. And it would result in the savings of very large sums of money. x During my first two years in the Senate, I joined Sen. Karl E. Mundt of South Dakota in sponsoring a measure to create another Hoover-type commission on reorganization. And I also co-sponsored another bill calling for a study on reorganization. This latter bill passed the Senate but died in a committee in the House of Representatives. I have no idea what form reorganization might take in the new Congress. President Johnson proposed at the start of the 90th Congresjs that the departments of Labor and Commerce be merged, but this was only a piece-meal approach to a much larger problem. ' Others have suggested! that perhaps the departments of Agriculture and interior be merged into a Department of Natural Resources, and that the departments of Housing and Urban Development; Health, Education and Welfare; and Transportation be combined into a single Department of - Human ^Resources* / •Others--including a presidential commission--have recommended that the Post Office Department fay reorganized into, a sort of public corporation better equipped to handle the, tremendous load of mail which' is bogging down. the system, nowadays. In the area of legislative reorganization, I think it most likely that Congress will enact comprehensive measures during this session; Two yeaps ago, the Senate devoted seventeen days of debate to the Legislative Reorganization Act, only to have the measitfe Mie in the; House, despite last-ditch efforts' by Illinois Republican Cong-"* ressmen. The bill sought to make the all-important committee pro-" cedure in^Congress more open; and democratic. A majority of committee members, not merely the chairman, would have been able to call a meeting bf the committee. {Committee votes would have been ordered -to have been public, and committee meetings in most instances would have had to be open. The bill also did subl) things as progessionalize Capitol Police, and provide for tighter regulation of lobbyists. It is possible that the 91st Congress will make reorganization one of the first orders of business. Since so much committee time and debate was devoted to the issue in the last Congress, reorganization cduld become effective law rather quickly. I have made reorganization of both the legislative and executive branches one of my legislative goals iti the 91st Congress, and I will support wholeheartedly the most effective re- ;1 :4§ Selective Service Set out below are questions frequently asked of the Selective Service System along with appropriate answers.
