Instead of taking the Food and Drug Administration from the Department of Agriculture. there might actually be a grouping. consolidation. and so forth. That is to say the Public Health Service might be set up as a separate agency and all matters that have to do in any sense with health be turned over to it. Senators will see how difficult that would be. because the Public Health Service has certain functions in connection with the examination of immigrants. and that function is so intimately associated with the work of the Department of Labor in connection with immigration that it would take many changes to effect the reorganization with regard to these matters that have to do with health. The next change I find in the copy of the bill so kindly given me by the Senator from South Carolina appears on the same page. On page 2. line 20. the words "or abolition" are stricken out. and there are inserted in line 21. after the word "thereof". the words "or that the abolition of any agency." Thus the provision now reads: Whenever the President. after investigation. shall find and declare that any transfer. retransfer. regrouping. coordination. consolidation. reorganization. or segregation of the whole or any part of any agency. or the functions thereof. or that the abolition of any agency is necessary to accomplish any of the purposes set forth in section 1 of this title. he may. by Executive order. subject to the limitations hereinafter providedTake action.
