They support President Nixon's reorganization proposals and aim to change the focus of the federal bureaucracy from constituency to purpose. The committee emphasizes the importance of reform before public frustration with government reaches a crisis point., 1971-04-21

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

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

The text discusses President Nixon's proposals to reorganize the federal government, including reducing the number of Cabinet departments. It argues that the reorganization is long overdue due to the expansion of government responsibilities without a corresponding overhaul of the organizational structure. 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

The text discusses the inefficiencies and lack of coordination in federal water planning and construction programs, particularly in river basin studies. It highlights the lack of alternatives being considered, the scattered energy programs among different agencies, and the ineffectiveness of interagency committees in promoting cooperation. It also mentions the lack of control over agency budgets and the potential waste of money and time in basin studies. Council Director W. Don Maughan criticizes the final basin reports as merely formal agreements between federal water agencies., 1973-01-01 - 1974-12-31
