He plans to absorb 100 commissions, bureaus, and agencies into twelve departments, including two new cabinet posts, so that he may keep his finger on all with greater ease. The White House management will be enlarged by six executive assistants, with "a passion for anonymity"; from top to bottom federal personnel will go under civil service. All these suggestions tend to center power...
