the purposes set forth In section 2(a) of the Reorganiza- 

 tion Act of 1949. as amended. I have also found and 

 hereby declare that by reason of the reorganizations made 

 by the reorganization plan. It Is necessary to Include In 

 the plan provisions for the appointment and compensa- 

 tion of the officers of the Administration set forth In 

 section 4 of the reorganization plan. The rate of com- 

 pensation fixed for each of these officers Is that which I 

 have found to prevail In respect of comparable officers In 

 the executive branch of the Government. 



In addition to permitting more effective management 

 within the Department of Commerce, the new organiza- 

 tion will ultimately produce economies. These economies 

 will be of two types. The first, and probably the most 

 significant, Is the savings and avoidance of costs which 

 will result from the sharing of complex and expensive 



facilities such as satellites, computers, communication 

 systems, aircraft, and ships. These economies will In- 

 crease In significance as developments In science and 

 technology bring Into being still more advanced equip- 

 ment. Second, Integration of the existing headquarters 

 and field organizations will permit more efficient utiliza- 

 tion of existing administrative staffs and thereby produce 

 future economies. It Is, however. Impracticable to specify 

 or Itemize at this time the reductions of expenditures 

 which It Is probable will be brought about by the taking 

 effect of the reorganizations Included In the reorganiza- 

 tion plan. 



I reconunend that the Congress allow the accompanying 

 reorganization plan to become effective.
