Enactment of this legislation at this time is essential to ensure that the authority of agencies affected by past reorganization plans is not disrupted. On 17 occasions since 1932 the Congress has delegated to the President of the United States authority to reorganize legislatively established functions and agencies in the Federal Government. The last grant of reorganization authority to the President expired on April 7. 1981. A "legislative veto" provision in most of these statutes empowered Congress to disapprove a reorganization plan by a vote of either House. without permitting the President to veto the congressional action. Last year in Immigrations and Naturalization Service v. Chadha (103 S. Ct. 2764 (1983)). the Supreme Court declared the legislative veto procedure unconstitutional.
