President moves to end red tape by scrapping 17 committees
President Kennedy eliminated 17 interdepartmental committees in a bid to cut red tape and clarify executive responsibility. The action saves an estimated 301 375 dollars annually and shifts duties to a national advisory board on economic policy. About 32 staffers will gain new duties rather than be fired. The government patents board, created in 1950, will have duties transferred to the patents commissioner.
