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

The text suggests that the proposed reorganization makes sense and should be supported by both conservatives and liberals for more efficient operation and cost reduction. It criticizes the current system for its inefficiencies and lack of adaptation to modern challenges., 1973-01-01 - 1974-12-31

Terry Sanford, in a statement from the office of the President at Duke University, discusses the inefficiencies and ineffectiveness of the national government due to its complex and overlapping structure. He suggests reorganizing government departments to focus on general purposes and establish clear lines of authority, making them accountable to the people. Sanford believes this reorganization will make government more responsive, efficient, and effective, and prevent Congressional purposes from being lost in bureaucratic inefficiencies. He highlights bipartisan efforts and recommendations from previous task forces as the basis for his proposed reorganization., 1971-04-21
