...American presidency had become a powerless relic. Other professors found that Reagan had created "a sense in the country that he is addressing fundamental historical questions," thus giving his Administration cohesion; that there is 50% more internal communication in Reagan's White House than there was in Jimmy Carter's; that "we should not be lulled by Reagan's inattentiveness to detail and nuances...

That disorganization by itself would not be very encouraging as an indicator of how federal agencies enforce federal laws...
