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