Nixon seeks power to consolidate grants and reshape aid rules
President Nixon asked Congress for unusual grant consolidation powers to group related federal aid programs under a single agency. The plan would let the President initiate consolidations with veto by Congress within 60 days, aiming to reduce red tape and avoid government paralysis while keeping executive authority in check. The proposal references a broad, sprawling grant system and notes similar offices exist in many cities and states.
