President Roosevelt will send a
message to Congress next month
recommending passage of legisla-
ton to reorganize the executive
branch of the Government.
Announcement of this intention
was made by Mr.. Roosevelt at his
press conference this morning.
Although the President would not
say definitely whether he will recon-
mend the same omnibus measure as
was defeated last year in the House,
he indicated his message will con-
tain broad outline of suggested
action, will emphasize the need of
such reorganization and will place
the responsibility for further action
squarely on the new Congress.
Mr.. Roosevelt declared today there
Is general acceptance of the fact
that improvement is needed in the
business methods of government and
that Congress has available the in
formation accumulated through 40
years of experience and observation.
No Change in Feeling.
Congress has the ultimate author
ity over the form of any reorganiza-
ton legislation, he pointed out, with
the probability being that many
members will introduce their own
bills for part or all of the desired
objective.
Mr.. Roosevelt said there was no
change in his feeling toward the
general objectives' embodied in
his recommendations of last year
that the controller generals Office
be abolished and that the Civil
Service Commission be replaced by
a single administrative officer. He
declined to be more specific.
