The policy of orderly decontrol has resulted in a steady reduction of the number of units under control.

First, I recommend that coverage be extended to about 6 million workers not now covered.

Coverage should also be extended to Federal Government civilian employees.

This approach must have as its final goal a practical and forward-looking course of action.

These measures are not acts of charity.

We cannot afford to follow that course again.

This reorganization is another link in the program to strengthen the Department of Labor.

It constitutes a further step in rebuilding and strengthening the Department of Labor to make it the central agency of the Government for dealing with labor problems.

After investigation I have found and hereby declare that each reorganization included in Reorganization Plan No. 17 is necessary to accomplish one or more of the purposes set forth in section 2(a) of the Reorganization Act of 1949.

This reorganization plan carries out a specific recommendation of the Commission on Organization of the Executive Branch of the Government.

Moreover, by reducing the likelihood that the two programs involved will be administered at cross-purposes or in conflict with each other, it can be expected that the money expended will achieve greater benefits than would be likely under the present distribution of responsibility.

After investigation I have found and hereby declare that each reorganization included in Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1950 is necessary to accomplish one or more of the purposes set forth in section 2(a) Of the Reorganization Act of 1949.

I have found and hereby declare that the reorganization contained in this plan is necessary to accomplish one or more of the purposes set forth in section 2(a) of the Reorganization Act of 1949.

After careful investigation I have found and I hereby declare that each of the reorganizations contained in this reorganization plan is necessary to accomplish one or more of the purposes set forth in section 2(a) of the Reorganization Act of 1949.

After investigation, I have found and hereby declare that each of the reorganizations included in Reorganization Plan No. 19 of 1950, is necessary to accomplish one or more of the purposes set forth in section 2(a) of the Reorganization Act of 1949.

After investigation I have found and hereby declare that each reorganization included in Reorganization Plan No. 11 of 1950 is necessary to accomplish one or more of the purposes set forth in section 2(a) of the Reorganization Act of 1949.

The transfers effected by these plans are consistent with the recommendations of the Commission on Organization of the Executive Branch of the Government.

That directive still stands.
