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., 1973-01-01 - 1974-12-31
