Then he announced that he would go ahead and establish the new department anyway-under the powers granted him by the Reorganization Act of 1949.

Equally important to the consumer is the Market's decision to abolish import embargoes. At West Germany's insistence, any nation may still ban key imports such as grain, wine, poultry, pork or vegetables if it fears disruption of its internal market.
