John Ehrlichman's domestic council will be restructured, because it has been too much of a burden for one man. Ehrlichman himself is not in disfavor, but under a new setup, additional White House aides will be recruited to oversee the bureaucracy. Foremost among them is Frederic Malek, 35, a West Point and Harvard Business School graduate who was recruited by Finch to help run HEW, subsequently moved into the Interior Department to clean out Walter Hickel...

That bullish forecast has turned out to be slightly too conservative: the advance for this year will turn out to be some $101 billion. The board now predicts that 1973 will be even better, with a G.N.P. rise of around $110 billion, to the elevated area of $ 1,262 billion...
