With these plans he transmitted var- ious messages, including (a) a general message discussing the 21 plans as a whole; (b) a general message onl plans Nos. 1 to 13; (e) a special message on plans Nos. 15, 16, and 17, relating to transfer of various activities of the General Services Administration to other departments and agencies; and (d) 21 messages accompanying the individual plans. AJI of these plans were referred to the Senate Committee on Expendi- tures in the Executive Departments for consideration and action. The staff of the committee prepared a brief analysis of each of the plans in relation to their conformity with and deviation from the Hoover Commission recommendations, which is reproduced as appendix A of this report. The staff also submitted for the information of the Senate individual staff memorandums relating to speific provisions of the various plans which were printed in the appendix of the Congressional Record on April 3, 1950 (pp. A2583 and A2831). Resolutions of disapproval were introduced on 11 of the 21 plans; hearings were held on each resolution. The committee reported four of these resolutions, on Reorganization Plans Nos. 1, 4, 7, and 12, favorably; and the resolutions on three plans, Nos. 8, 9, and 11, unfavorably. The four remaining resolutions, on plans Nos. 5, 17, 18, and 21, were reported without recommendation. The Senate voted to susta~in the aiction of the committee on the resolutions reported favorably, and, by such action, defeated Reor- ganization Plans Nos. 1, 4, 7, and 12. In addition the Senate also, by vote of 50 to 23, adopted the resolution of disapproval on plan No. 11, making a total of five plans which were disapproved in the Senate. All other resolutions of disapproval ified in the Senate were rejected, since the law requires a majority of the full membership of IAll plans to become effective 60 days after presentation, unless disapproved by a majority of the full membership or either House. The House of Representatives took an 11-day Easter reess which, under provisions of the act, extended the effective date to May 24, 1950.
