Grouping recommendations shift agencies into Commerce Department
A government study proposes moving major agencies into Commerce. It would absorb the national advisory committee on aeronautics and Coast Guard duties from Treasury, the entire Public Roads Administration, all Maritime Commission functions, the Office of Defense Transportation, the ICC truck and bus safety work, and several Interior and Civil Aeronautics Board roles. It envisions two branches and maintains opposition to a separate cabinet transportation department.
