The text discusses a proposal by President Nixon to abolish seven federal departments and reorganize their functions into four new departments. Senator William V. Roth Jr. supports this plan, which aims to streamline the bureaucratic process and improve coordination within the federal government. The reorganization is seen as a way to simplify the complex system of overlapping programs and agencies currently in place. Opposition to the plan has been expressed, particularly from farm groups and labor unions. The reorganization is intended to make the government more efficient and effective in addressing the needs of the American people., 1973-01-01 - 1974-12-31
