It would establish a U.S.. Passport Service within the Department of State with a Director responsible directly to the Secretary of State for the administration of the service. The structure of the service would be comparable to the Immigration and Naturalization Service in the Department of Justice and it would clear away some of the bureaucratic deadwood which has consistently impeded the progress of the Passport Office. The Passport Office is presently a constituent office of the Bureau of Security and Consular Affairs which is responsible through the Under Secretary for Management to the Secretary for its administration. This Bureau. which is largely foreign service oriented is not equipped to manage a growing public service organization.
