Action to strengthen the management of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board and to relieve the Board of day-to-day operating responsibility is particularly needed because of the phenomenal growth of the Board's activities in recent years.
The taking effect of the reorganizations included in the accompanying reorganization plan will provide sound organizational arrangements and will make possible more economical and expeditious administration of the affected functions.
The reorganization plan will significantly further the ability of the Board to deal more effectively with regulatory and policy matters before it.
In carrying out his managerial functions, the Chairman will be governed by the policies of the Board and the determinations it is authorized to make.
