lative Reference that provides the most
debate material for those who believe
the executive branch of the Govern
ment is trying to usurp the authority
of the legislative branch. An execu-
tive order in 1943 gave the bureau
authority to review legislation for
public works, including the pork
barrel" projects.
Although this is only small part of
the Reference Sections activities, it still
isn't difficult to understand why Con-
gresham would feel none too kindly
toward the bureau if the Reference
Section returned a negative report on
his pet project, designed to butter up
voters in his home district.
The Reference Branch also reviews
all legislation that originates in all
administrative agencies. It's analyses
of the proposed bills go directly to the
White House. Again, the bureaus
influence over the agencies is obvious.
Because of weight carried by bureau
recommendations, many Congressman
submit proposed bills for analysis before

hearings, cracks the whip if necessary,
brings the estimates into line with the
Presidents program and translates
them into budget terms.
The Government reorganization of
1889 put the bureau in the executive
Office of the President. That was when
it began to put on weight and muscle
Responsible only to the President,
the bureau was reorganized from five
major sections into nine These are
the Offices of Budget Review, Legisla-
tive Reference Management -Organiza-
ton and Statistical Standards, plus
these divisions: International, Military,
Resources and Civil Works, Commerce
and Finance and Labor and Welfare.
Through these sections, the bureau
has a voice in almost every Federal
activity, from military expenditures to
agriculture, from education to COM
munity development, international
affairs, efficiency in Government opera
tions and variety of other functions,
even including mapping and surveying.

introducing them on the Hill. Last
year, the bureau had 731 congressional
requests for reviews of legislative drafts.
And because of it's influence in multi
tudinous affairs, probably few. other
agencies are subjected to as much pres
sure from as many directions-inside
the Government and out-as the
bureau.
While Congress, for the benefit of the
public, may urge huge slaShes in Gov
ernnlent spending, 200 members re-
quested in a three-month period that
various items, mostly public works, be
inserted in the budget Mr. Lawton told
a congressional committee. One item
alone, he said, would have cost $190
million.
In speaking of pressure, one bureau
official cited an instance of a national
organization urging cut of 81 billion
in the budget while at the same time
"a of its local chapters were appealing
to the bureau to indorse various prof.
ects which would have increased the
original budget figure.

THE RECENT reorganization of the
Il Bureau of the Budget hardly made
a ripple on the surface of the days
news By-passed entirely was an in
teresting story of how the agency, in
a mere 80 years, has risen from an
inauspiciouS start to a favored posi-
ton at the Presidents elbow.
The Budget Bureau remains one of
the smallest units of the Government,
yet it is one of the most influential
of all Federal agencies.
Perhaps it could be called the mighty
mite" for alongside other agencies
where employment runs into the thou
sands, the bureau is almost micro
scopic. Despite the fact that its pay
roll has increased almost tenfold in
less than 20 years, it still has less than
500 employees.
Since 1921 the bureau has gone
quietly about its business. adding influ-
ence and prestige, as differentiated
from authority and power, until it has
been referred to on Capitol Hill-with
more bitterness than accuracy-as
uLtIc SOllSISSS.
1t probably is only natural to assume
that the bureaus principal job is to
add up the gigantic estimated expend-
itures for various agencies and to
assemble them into some sort of COM
prehensive operating cost structure for
the President and Congress.
That in itself is gigantic task, to
be sure. but it is only one of many
activities which bear strong behind
the-scenes influence on proposed legis-
lation, presidential decisions and de-
partmental activities.
1t took the country about 120 years
after its founding to get around to
doing anything about its annual budg-
etary chaos In 1912, an Economy and
Efficiency Commission recommended
drastic reforms in the haphaZard
system, but it was not until nine years
later that the Budget and Accounting
Act set up the bureau.
Previously, Government departments
submitted their expense estimates to
the Secretary of the Treasury, whose
only power was to receive, index, print
and transmit the resulting patchwork
of figures to Congress.
Now the estimates are submitted to
the bureau, which holds pre-CongresS
