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

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
