Nixon's Economic Affairs Department Proposed to Consolidate Agencies
President Nixon envisions a new Economy Affairs Department swallowing Agriculture Commerce Labor and Transportation plus smaller agencies. The plan faces opposition from Congress and agency constituencies wary of loss of niches and cross-posed duties. The proposal would place most Commerce functions under one large bureau with 161 200 workers, and set the department as the nation’s largest policy maker after Human Resources.
