The Honorable Jack Brooks

Dear >Ir. Chairman:


MAY 1 3 19l


     Your letter of May 6, 1981, requested our  1Lzents on
H.R. 3270which would extend and amend the autnority of the
President to reorganize the executive branch of the Government
under chapter 9 of title 5, United States Code. On May 6,
1981, I testified before the Senate Committee on Governmental
Affairs regarding the President's reorganization authority       P    /2G4
including specific comments on S. 893. As you know, the only
difference between the House and Senate bills is that H.R. 3270
provides for a 2-year extension of authority, whereas S-893
calls for a 4-year extension.

     As agreed with your office, I am including as enclosure I
a copy of my Senate testimony to assist you in your considera-
tion of H.R. 3270. Enclosure II contains suggested language
for two amendments to the bill which we provided for the record
during our testimLony before the Senate Committee. These pro-
posed amendments deal with the information submission require-
ments and the need to establish a framework for implementing
reorganization plans. In terms of the duration of authority,
we have no preference between a 4-year and 2-year extension.

     We would be pleased to work with your Committee to pro-
vide whatever additional assistance we can on your considera-
tion of this proposed legislation.

                                Sincerely yours,



                                William J. Anderson
                                Director                           /
