named as a Kennedy assistant
to draw up agency reform pro-
posals, submitted just after
Christmas a report accusing
some agencies. among other
things. of gross inefhciency and
subservience to industry in
fluence and lobbying.
Much the same thing has
been charged by the House
Legislative Oversight Subcom-
mittee. which went out OF
business this week after three
years Of looking into operations
Of the agencies. Mr.. Harris also
headed this subcommittee.
Where Mr.. Lands is draw
ing Congressional fire is in his
reorganization proposal par.
ticularly his recommendation
for creation Of a White House
overseer for the agencies.
Adams Case Recalled
Mr.. Lands didn't spell out
just what the functions Of such
an overseer would be. But the
suggestions struck a jarring
note in Congress, which tradi-
tionally has regarded the regu.
latory agencies as instrument
Of Congress, operating under
powers delegated by Congress.
Mr.. Harris declined COM
ment on the overseer feature
pending clarification by either
Mr.. Lands or Mr.. Kennedy.
But another Commerce Com
mittee Democrat, who asked
not to be named. said he Is
strongly opposed to the idea.
This Democrat recalled that
