Eisenhower proposes uniting welfare agencies into new department
President Eisenhower sends a plan to Congress to create a Welfare Department by elevating the Federal Security Agency into a full department with an undersecretary and two assistants. He argues the reorganization would improve administration of health education and social security functions and could save money over time, though initial costs would not drop immediately. He insists the Social Security System Public Health Service and FDA would remain within the new department.
