President Nixon has proposed a reorganization plan to streamline the executive branch, including reducing the number of cabinet departments and transferring some functions to a proposed Department of Natural Resources. The plan has faced opposition from the Pentagon, environmentalists, and Congress, but is seen as necessary for improving government efficiency and saving money. While some reservations exist about the plan, overall it is considered a valid solution to the current disorganized government structure., 1973-01-01 - 1974-12-31

President Nixon's proposal to reorganize the federal government to make it more efficient and bring it closer to the people was met with skepticism and rejection by Congress. Past attempts at government reorganization by presidents have also faced challenges and limited success. The idea of merging cabinet seats and creating new agencies has been discussed throughout history, but few changes have been made permanent. Congress has often resisted efforts to consolidate government agencies and departments., 1974-07-26
