The 25 member Commission on Intergovernmental Relations urged Eisenhower to cede some tax fields to states and cities while expanding state managed highway growth funded by pay-as-you-build not borrowing. It called for shifting civil defense to Washington, curtailing grants-in-aid, and boosting state fiscal reform. The report favors reduced centralization and greater state-local responsibility with forbearance from federal intrusion. It recommends state reappraisal of fiscal policy and expanded revenue potential within each state. It also covers education, soil conservation, housing, water resources, unemployment, and health program adjustments with state-led administration and targeted federal help.
