Commission Procedure
The Commission decided to undertake the work enjoined
on it by its enabling act by making an exhaustive investi-
gation of certain broad functions of the Government and
by considering questions of.policy as well as those of organi-
zation and operation. It was insistent from the beginning
that every subject considered should have a thorough factual
study before any attempt would be made to reach conclu-
sions. This required a capable investigating staff to develop
the facts and a group of experienced individuals of good
judgment to evaluate them. It was decided that this ma-
chinery could best be evolved by the "task force" method;
i. e., the selection of a group, or task force, of distinguished
citizens with experience in the field under investigation to
serve on a part-time basis. A Staff Director and staff are
then named, who work generally on a full-time basis in the
investigating field. This method of operation brings about
efficiency and economy in that it makes it unnecessary for the
Commission to have a large general research and secretarial
staff, it assures the intensive use of specialists, and it makes
possible the immediate reduction of staff when a task force
has completed its work.
The Commission also determined that an expensive ad-
ministrative staff and a heavy overhead expense could not
be justified. Therefore, rather than organize a payroll sec-
tion, a supply section, a fiscal section, a budget section, a
personnel section, and the other usual administrative or-

ganizational units, the Commission arranged to get these serv-
ices from other Government agencies on a reimbursable basis.
As a result, the Commission has an unusually small executive
and administrative staff.
Task Forces Organized
There have been 13 task forces and several committees
and subcommittees, in the nature of task forces, organized.
There follows a summary of the activities of each of the
task forces and major committees, a list of their members
and Staff Directors, and the date of their first meeting. Ap-
pendix B gives in alphabetical sequence a short biography
of all task force members.
Budget and Accounting
This task force's objective is the improvement of the
governmental budgeting, accounting, and auditing proce-
dures to establish better executive and legislative control.
This involved reviewing-
i. Accounting direction and control in the Executive
Branch.
2. The programming and budgeting in the agencies.
3. The functions of the Bureau of the Budget.
4. The preparation of appropriation requests to the Con-
gress.
5. The relative desirability of a budget based on projects
rather than on general classes of expenditure.
6. The advisability of direct limitations on expenditures.

7. The use of revolving funds and of operating corpora-
tions.
8. The desirability of placing accounts on an accrual basis.
9. The role of the General Accounting Office in promoting
effective internal control and making business-type
audits and claim settlements.

Legal Services and Procedure
This task force divided its studies into three major aspects:
i. The organization of the legal services of the executive
branch.
2. How parties should be represented in dealing with the
Government.
3. Reform of administrative procedure.
Under number i come the questions of the division of
responsibility between the Department of Justice and the
legal departments of various governmental agencies and in
the Department of Defense between the uniformed and non-
uniformed lawyers; also the questions of recruitment, utiliza-
tion, promotion, and discharge of Government lawyers.
Under number 2 come the questions of the qualification of
practitioners and their admission, suspension, and removal.
Under number 3 comes the survey of operations under the
Administrative Procedure Act and of operations of agencies
not subject to it. Involved here is the question of the separa-
tion of powers between the fact-finding authority, the prose-
cuting authority and the judicial authority, and the concrete
problem of the status and functions of hearing examiners and
the desirability of setting up an additional court or courts of
some nature entirely separate from the regulatory bodies.
This task force did not study the substantive law which
grants jurisdiction to regulatory bodies, nor the conflict in
regulating authority between the Federal and State or munici-
pal governments, this latter problem being more properly in
the jurisdiction of the Commission on Intergovernmental
Relations.

all Federal agencies lending money and guaranteeing loans
or payments, has tabulated outstanding Government obliga-
tions, fixed as well as contingent. It has studied particularly
the governmental experience in organization of these agen-
cies with a view to determination of the most advantageous
form of organization of those functions and the improvement
of their management, together with coordination of Govern-
ment policy in the lending field.

standards and measures, hospital construction, medical re-
search, and education and training. The relationship between
the various Federal agencies has been surveyed. These activi-
ties have been evaluated as to their effectiveness under condi-
tions of peace, in preparation for war, and under partial and

Overseas Economic Operations
This task force is studying all governmental overseas oper-
ations outside of the purely military, the purely diplomatic,
and the gathering of noneconomic intelligence, to determine
the areas of duplication. The economic aspects of offshore
procurement and the use of counterpart funds are being stud-
ied. Special attention is being given to the coordination of all
economic assistance to any particular country into one pro-
gram.
The task force is also studying the staffing of American
Embassies with specialists from the Departments of Com-
merce, Agriculture, and Labor, and the economic reporting
activities of the State Department carried on for the benefit
of other Government agencies. The work of the Depart-
ments of State and Commerce, the Foreign Operations Ad-
ministration, and the Export-Import Bank in trade promotion
and in the stimulation of investment of American capital
abroad is being reviewed.

Government ("birth control" in records).
2. The reduction of reports and records required of private
individuals and business by the Government.
3. The simplification of income tax procedure for low-
income taxpayers to eliminate the necessity of filing

It has identified the more important executive positions and
studied the recruitment problems involved in filling them,
with particular reference to the promotion of career men as
compared to bringing in outsiders with appropriate qualifi-
cations. It is making recommendations as to those positions
which are of a policy or political nature and therefore prop-
erly filled from outside the civil service.
In the civil service field, the task force has studied the
classification system, veterans preference, the multiplicity of
merit systems, the problems of specialists such as professional
and scientific workers, and the proper distribution of per-
sonnel functions in departments.

Procurement
This task force is studying all procurement activities of
the Government, but because of the size of the Department
of Defense and the correspondingly greater opportunity for
economy it is concentrating on supply management in the
armed services. There are two major divisions of the prob-
lem: (i) procurement planning and (2) the implementation
of such plans as are made.

Under (i) come the relationship between national policy,
strategic planning and logistic planning, and the method of
reducing logistic planning to actual purchase requirements.
Under (2) come the contracting policies and ,procedures, dis-

Use and Disposal of Surplus Property
This task force studied Government surpluses in both
real and personal property, in the United States and over-
seas. It reviewed the reasons why surpluses accumulate,
involving the questions of proper inventory, the method by
which surplus is determined, and how it is disposed of; all
with the objective of recommending as to best utilization and
largest possible return. It took note of the effect of mass dis-
posal on the private economy, the wisdom of free gifts of
surplus to local governments and bodies, and the use of
surplus in foreign aid. It has not considered the question of
agricultural surpluses, either from the point of view of policy
or operations in the United States.

with water resources and power, and thus investigating Gov-
ernment policies and activities in the following fields : im-
provement of rivers, harbors, and waterways for navigation,
and land reclamation; activities connected with water supply,
stream pollution abatement and the recreational use of water;

Committee on Business Organization of the
Department of Defense
As soon as the work of the various task forces began, it
became obvious that almost all of the investigations reached
deeply into the Department of Defense. With a budget of
35 or 4o billion dollars annually, a civilian employment of
about i.2 million, and with 3.5 million men in uniform, this

Department offered the greatest opportunity for accomplish-
ing economies and efficiencies. It was felt that the business
organization of this great Department should not be reported
on in piecemeal but that the results of investigations of vari-
ous task forces into this Department should be coordinated.
It was therefore decided to set up a Committee on Business
Organization of the Department of Defense, on which, in
addition to several new members, there would be representa-
tives of other task forces which dealt with the Department
of Defense. Furthermore, it appeared that there were various
activities of the Department of Defense which were an essen-
tial part of any proper study of its business organization and
which would not fall within the area of study of any of the
task forces. These activities have been investigated by spe-
cial Subcommittees of the Committee on Business Organi-
zation. This overall Committee on Business Organization
and its Subcommittees are as follows:

Task Force and Committee Meetings
Some of the task forces have met regularly as . a whole,
some have divided into groups or committees for the con-
sideration of special subjects. In all, there have been 411
meeting of task forces, committees, and groups. Members
have been extraordinarily faithful in their attendance, and
this notwithstanding the fact that most of them are extremely
busy men and many have had to come from great distances.

Staff Studies
The Commission's small general research staff has in many
cases assisted and supplemented the task force staffs and
has, in addition, conducted studies on the following matters:
i. The various independent agencies reporting to the Presi-
dent, with a view toward possible eliminations, con-
solidations, or transfers.
2. The transfer of certain bureaus or functions from one
department to another.
3. The advisability of setting up machinery for the liquida-
tion of agencies which have expired by limitation or
which Congress has decided to eliminate.

The peak of Commission personnel has been reached and
it should diminish rapidly hereafter.
Finances
At the time the Commission was created, there was appro-
priated $500,ooo to carry the Commission during the remain-
der of the year 1953 and far enough into 1954 to give it time
to make its plans and estimate its needs with some accuracy.
In February 1954, an additional $1,431,909 was appropri-
ated, which was $400,000 less than had been requested.
Shortly before the adjournment of the 83d Congress, an
additional $653,150, which was $ioo,ooo less than had been
requested, was appropriated, thus giving the Commission a
total of $2,585,059.
It should be noted that when the February 1954 request was
made, the Commission had not established its Task Forces
on Intelligence Activities, Overseas Economic Operations,
Paperwork Management, and Real Property. It seems prob-
able that the Commission will require a modest additional
appropriation to complete its work.
Accomplishments
The following task forces have completed the investiga-
tive phase of their work:
Budget and Accounting.
Legal Services and Procedure.
Lending Agencies.
Medical Services.

ment-Part I-In the United States Government, Personnel
and Civil Service, and Use and Disposal of Surplus Property
have submitted their final reports to the Commission. The
final reports of the Task Forces on Budget and Accounting
and Subsistence Services are expected during January; those
on Real Property and on Water Resources and Power during
February; and those on Intelligence Activities, Overseas
Economic Operations, Paperwork Management-Part II-
In Industry and Procurement during March. The overall
Committee on Business Organization of the Department of
Defense, in the nature of things, must delay its report until
it receives reports from the various task forces whose work it
coordinates. Therefore, its report is expected early in April.
The Commission has adopted a procedure for considering
task force reports under which different Committees, con-
sisting in each case of three Commissioners and the Executive
Director, will, in the first instance, study each task force
report and make its recommendations to the full Commission.
The Commission will then consider the Committee report
and prepare its own report to the Congress.
