Ordered to be printed Mr. MCCLELLAN, from the Committee on Expenditures in the Executive Departments, submitted the following REPORT The President on June 20, 1949, submitted Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1949 to accomplish those recommendations of the Commission on Organization of the Executive Branch of the Government affecting the reorganization of the Post Office Department which can be effec- tuated under the Reorganization Act of 1949. Although the Com.- mittee on Expenditures in the Executive Departments is not required to report favorably on reorganization plans, the committee feels it desirable to do so in order to provide the Senate with adequate information concerning the plans. The President in his transmittal letter said: This plan constitutes an important first step in strengthening the organization of the Post Office Department, and the plan carries into effect those of the recom- mendations of the Commission on Organization of the Executive Branch of the Government which can be accomplished under the provisions of the Reorganization Act. I am also transmitting to the Congress recommendations for legislation which will implement other recommendations of the Commission and place the operations of the Post Office Department on a more bu,,inesslike basis. The primary result of this reorganization plan will be more effective administration. Although a substantial reduction in expenditures will not be brought about by the plan alone, major economies can be achieved over a pcriod of time as a result of this plan and the enactment of the postal legislation which I am recommending to the Congress. The provisions of the plan are as follows: Section 1 would transfer to the Postmaster General the functions of all subordinate officers and agencies of the Post Office Department, including the functions of each Assistant Postmaster General, and the Purchasing Agent for the Post Office Department, the Comptroller, and the Bureau of Accounts. This is in accord with part III, Dep art- mental Management, of report No. 1 on General Management of the Executive Branch, relating to the delegation of authority and func- tions to any officer, employee, or agency of the Department.
