Eisenhower Plans ODM Reorganization to Speed Mobilization
President Eisenhower sent Congress a plan to merge the Office of Defense Mobilization with the National Security Resources Board and grant permanent status to ODM. The reform creates a central defense mobilization office with a director and deputy, places ODM director on the National Security Council, and shifts stockpile policy to ODM. The proposal aims to improve executive organization and mobilization readiness at reduced cost with automatic effect in 60 days unless vetoed.
