Quite aside from the disposition
Of the war organization of the Gov
ernment, other adjustments need to
be made currently and continuously
in the Government establishment.
From my experience in the Congress
and from a review of the pertinent
developments for period of 40 years
preceding that experience, know it
to be positive fact that, by and
large, the Congress cannot deal ef-
fectively with numerous orvaniza-
tional problems on an individual
item basis.
The Congressional Record is re-
plete with expressions of members of
the Congress themselves, to this
effect. Yet it is imperative that
these matters be dealt with contin-
uously If the Government structure
Is to be reasonably wieldy and man
ageable, and be responsive to proper
direction by the Congress and the
President on behalf of the people of
this country. The question is one
that goes directly to the adequacy
and effectiveness of our Government
as an instrument of democracy.
Cooperation of Congress Asked.
Suitable reshaping of those parts
of the executive branch of the Gov-
ernment which require it from time
to time is necessary and desirable
from every point of view. A WELL
organized executive branch will be
more efficient than a poorly organ
lied one. 1t will help materially in
making manageable the Government
of this great Nation. A number of
my predecessors have urged the Con-
gress to take steps to make the

Congress within period Of 90 days.
The general objective of the act was
to promote effective administration
economy and efficiency. To this end
| it provided for the grouping, CO.
ordination, consolidation and abol-
ton of agencies, and for the elm
ination of overlapping and duplica-
ton of effort.
Part 2 of Title I of the act (tc
which reference is made in the
message) provided a special method
of handling, in the two houses oi
Congress, any proposal submitted
by the President under the act
The primary purpose of this method
was to insure that any opponents
in Congress of any proposal sub
mitted by the President would have
an opportunity to have a resolu-
ton of disapproval acted upon prior
to the expiration of the 60-day
period-at the end of which the
proposal of the President would
otherwise become effective.
Various proposals were submitted

Text on Reorganization
Truman Asks Cooperation Of Congress
On Reshupinq of Executive Bronch

The tert OF President Truman's
message to Congress on reor-
ganisation:
The Congress has repeatedly
manifested interest in an orderly
transition from war to peace. 1t
has legislated extensively on the
subject, with foresight and wisdom.
I wish to draw the attention Of
the Congress to one aspect of that
transition for which adequate pro-
vision has not as yet been made. I
refer to the conversion of the execu-
tive branch of the Government.
Immediately after the declaration
of war the Congress, in Title I of
the First War Powers Act, 194l,
empowered the President to make
necessary adjustments in the Or
ganization of the executive branch
with respect to those matters
which relate to the conduct Of the
present war. This authority has
been extremely valuable in further
ing the prosecution of the war. 1t
is difficult to conceive how the
executive agencies could have been
kept continuously attuned to the
needs of the war without legisla-
ton of this type.
The First War Powers Act ex-
pires by its own terms six months
after the termination of the present
war. Pending that time, Title I Will
be of very substantial further value
in enabling the President to make
such additional temporary improve
mentS in the organization OF the
Government as are currently re-
ouired for the more effective con-
duct of the war.
However, further legislative action
is required in the near future, be-
cause the First War Powers Act
is temporary and because, as mat
ters now stand, every step taken
under Title I will automatically re-
vert, upon the termination of the
title, to the pre-existing status.
Automatic Reversion Not Workable.
Such automatic reversion is not
workable. I think that the Con-
gress has recognized that fact, par
ticularly in certain provisions OF
section 101 of the War Mobilization
and Reconversion Act of 1914. In
some instances it will be necessary
to delay reversion beyond the period
now provided by law. or to stay 1t
permanently. In other instances
it will be necessary to modify ac-
tions heretofore taken under Title
l and to continue the resulting ar
rangement beyond the date of ex-
piration of the title. Automatic re-
version will result in the re-estab-
lishment of some agencies that
should not be established.
Some adjustments of a permanent
character need to be made, as ex-
emplified by the current proposal
before the Congress with respect to
the subsidiary corporations of the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. Some
improvements heretofore made in
the Government under the First War
Powers Act, as exemplified by the
reorganization of the Army under
executive order No. 9082, should not
be allowed to revert automatically
or at an inopportune time.
I believe it is realized by every
one-in view of the very large num-
ber of matters involved and the ex-
pedition required in their disposition
that the problems I have men
toned will not be met satisfactorily
unless the Congress provides for
them along the general lines indi-
Gated in this message.

Works Agency and the Federal
Loan Agency were established;
agricultural credit functions were

Agriculture; the fiscal service of the
Treasury Department was estab-
lished, and numerous other changes
in the organization of the executive
branch were made.
