Winding Up Operation Like World War 2 Big Business
Winding up a multibillion dollar operation like wartime asset disposal remains a major effort. The War Assets Administration holds about 9 billion dollars in property in the US and abroad with most foreign holdings sold to host nations. Many war plants will be kept, leased, or sold with some sites forever held by the government. Lend-lease settlements wind down in large part, legal patent questions will occupy lawyers for years, and a federal build program under Lanham Act continues to support essential facilities. Employment in civil service has fallen from 3.57 to 2.29 million, while decentralization of federal offices shifts back toward centralization.
