Reform Urged for U S Agriculture Department by Dean Rusk
Dean Henry P. Rusk of the College of Agriculture at the University of Illinois calls for a major overhaul of the USDA to curb overlap and duplication. He cites growth to 80,000 employees, a 2.5 billion dollar budget, and proposes six unified administrations to streamline operations and cut costs. He warns that public opposition to change comes mainly from government workers resistant to the status quo.
