Hatch Says Congress
Will Exempt Agencies
From Reorganization
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Hatch, Democrat, of New
Mexico predicted today that before
any legislation to permit presiden-
tial reorganization of the executive
branch is enacted, some agencies
will be exempted from consolidation.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission and the General Accounting
Office are examples of agencies
which in the past have been pro-
tected from mergers. And Senator
Hatch said they probably will be
named in the bill Congress is ex-
pected to take up shortly after it
ends its recess September S.
Senator Hatch, member of the
judiciary subcommittee which be-
gins studying the measure Wednes-
day, told reporters he didn't take
much stock in reports that three
or four new cabinet posts might be
created
I'm not so much interested in
creation of new departments as !
am in reorganizing the present de-
partments and agencies to prevent
ineff1ciency and overlapping of func-
tions, he said. Il favor a general
streamlining of government
The reorganization bill as intro
duced by Senator Overton, Demo-
crat, of Louisiana does not specific
ally exempt any agency from the re-
organization authority President
Truman has asked. 1t Is virtually
certain, however, that interested
lawmakers will insist on spelling
out list of bureaus to be left un-
touched.
The bill also gives Congress what
amounts to a veto over any reor-
ganization program submitted by
the President. Such a program
could become effective so days after
its transmission to Congress only
if both houses had not passed a
resolution stating Congress did not
