...official capacity, Milton Eisenhower has been a prime mover on President Eisenhower's three-member Advisory Committee on Government Reorganization. Among its achievements: creation of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, the Small Business Administration, the U.S. Information Agency and the Airways Modernization Board.
