Truman Plans to Reorder Government Departments
President Truman proposes seven reorganizational plans to streamline a government described as a jumbled antique shop. Examples include moving the Bureau of Employment Security to the Labor Department and placing the Public Roads Administration under the Commerce Department to align with its transportation duties. The Civil Service and Maritime Commissions would have clearer leadership and focus, while the Post Office would gain control over internal units to improve efficiency.
