Hoover type commission urged to study federal government
A group of 32 House Republicans proposed a Hoover type commission to study the executive branch. Rep. Seymour Halpern of New York led the bill, backed by the House Republican Policy Committee and co-sponsored by 31 colleagues. They argued the executive branch uses complex, obscure policy making and Congress must learn how and where decisions are made to meet urgent public needs. The Defense Department supported extending air mail to servicemen worldwide at about 11 million dollars yearly, beyond Vietnam troops.
