Hoover Urges Research On Government Reorganization
Former President Herbert Hoover urged Congress to form another commission similar to the one he created six years prior to study new ways to streamline federal government. He cited budget growth from 40 to 90 billion over six years and questioned organizational efficiency. Hoover, in a letter to Representative William L. Dawson, said he cannot testify in person due to prior commitments. The hearings consider 29 reorganization proposals, including bills for a new Hoover commission, with Truman administration plans already enacted for the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and the Internal Revenue Bureau.
