Signaled a firm determination to 'shake up the organization of the exec- utive branch of Government from the White House on down. ? Called for resignations of about 2,000 presidential appointees, including Cabinet officers and White House aides. Many will be retained. Some will be shifted to new jobs. Others will be dropped. ?

Mr. Connally was a key member of the Ash Council, before serving as Treasury Secretary in the first Nixon term. ? Set December 15 as a target date for announcing persomtcl and policy de- cisions in overhaul of the Government.

The advisory group submitted about 1G separate reports. Many remain con- fidential memoranda for the President. Others were published at the time ~Ir. Nixon First called for wholesale Govern- ment reorganization in his 1971 state- of-the-union message. "Most Americans fed up." The President said thou that "most Ameri- cans today are simply fed up with gov- ernment at all levels." The Ash Council found that the Gov- ernment has grown up in a topsy-turvy fashion, adding people and programs without any consistent pattern, and with a great deal of overlapping and dupli- cation among agencies. As a result, Mr. Nixon told Congress in January, 1972, "Our Federal Govern- ment today is too often a sluggish and unresponsive institution, unable to de- liver adollar's worth of service for a dollar's worth of taxes." here are major reforms proposed by the Ash Council, as revised by the White Ilouse in the last two years: New super-Departments. A half doz- en Departments of Cabinet rank and a score of lesser agencies would be con- solidated into four new super-Depart- ments along modern, functional lines. A White Douse documentary on the subject said that "the executive branch should be organized around major pur- poses of Government." The new super-Departments would deal with domestic problems in these areas: human resources, - natural re- sources, community development and economic alPairs. Programs dealing with people-such as education, welfare, health, manpow- er training, social security and unem- ployment insurance-would come under a Human Iesources Department. Other programs-those dealing with urban renewal, rural development, city planning, hospital construction, mass- transit systems and urban highways- STATINTL ` ,..: -Crockett in "Washington Star-News" "JUST WORKING ON MY GOVERN- MENT?REORGANIZATION PLAN." would be assigned to a Departrnent of Conununity Development. A Natural Resources Department would guide land use, soil conservation, energy sources and minerals, ~vatcr re- sources and marine technology, public works, recreation alld civilian atomic energy. Under an Economic Affairs Depart- ment would come many existing func- tions of the Commerce, Labor and Transportation Departments, along with the Tariff Commission acrd Small Busi- ness Administration. The Agriculture Department would be retained as a separate entity, but would be limited to dealing with farm- commodity production and marketing programs. Its present operations arc much broader. These Federal Departments would be abolished: Interior; Commerce; Labor; Ilcalth, Education and ~?Velfare; Hous- ing and Urban Development, and Trans- portation. Originally, the Ash Council proposed to leave intact the existing Departments of State, Treasury, Defense and Justice. Recently, President Nixon reportedly has been focusing on shaking up the State Department, leading to specula- Approved For Release 2001/03/04 :CIA-RDP80-016018000100070001-6 aantz~?~.;.G~ Approved For Release 2001/03/04 :CIA-RDP80-016018000100070001-6 ,.LATEST (Sept., 1972) 2,767,872 lion that Mr. Connally may become the next Secretary of State. Objective: give the foreign service a new mission of looking out for economic interests of tl]c United States arowld the world in an era of increasingly tough trade competition. At Key Biscayne on November 11, Deputy White house Press Secretary Gerald Warren said that "a great deal of staff work" has gone into plans for remodeling the foreign-policy apparahls, Officials point out that a number of Government units have varying roles iu foreign affairs, including the `Treasury, Justice, Commerce and Agriculture De- partrrients; Export-Import Bank; National Security Cocmcil, Central Intelligence Agency, and many others. President Nixon would like to achieve better eo-ordination, particularly as it affects U. S. interests in world trade, monetary and economic ail=airs. The. "fourth branch." The White House distributed in 1971-without rec- ommendatians-an Ash Council report on federal regulatory commissions. Terming them a "fourth branch of GOVet11[Tlen.t," .inVCStlg:lt01'S folllld t11CSC commissions "are not sufficiently ac- countable for their actions to either Congress or the President." The report suggested that they should be "more responsive to the public interest." There are :tt least eight of these quasi-judicial bodies, with broad au- thority to regulate private enterprise. The. Ash. Cow]cil proposed that six of them be abolished, wi.tl~ their functions redefined and assigned to new agen- cies. The six: Interstate Commerce Commission, Civil Aeronautics Board, Federal ~Sari- time Commission, Federal Trade Com- mission, Securities and Exchange Com- mission and Federal Power Commission. New agencies to be created: 'Trans- po:rtation Regulatory . Agency, Federal Power Agency, Securities and Exchange Agency, Federal Trade Practices Agency and a P'edcral Antitrust Board. 'The Asb Council also recommended that the Federal Commwlications Com- mission be reduced from seven to five COIn II] 1SSI Ollel'S. 1Vo public recommendation was made -at least, none was published-conceru- ing operations of the National Labor Re- lations Board. The White IIouse took the position that it was circulating the report for collsideration and comment by inter- ested parties, subject to later action. However, informed sources say that the emphasis on Government reforms now being considered by 'dir. I\'ixon does not appear to lie in the regulatory area. Changes by Congress. Some chvlges proposed by the Ash Council and other advisory bodies have been enacted by Congress. For example: A new Enviromuental Protection Agency was created to .deal with air, water and noise pollution across the board. Tlie Budget Bureau was recast as a modern Office of Management and Budget in the Executive Office of the President. Also approved wero a new Domestio Council and an International Economi~~ Policy Council at the White House. The Post 0II}ce Department was re- formed as a Government corporation known as the U. S. Postal service. A new corporation was set up to take over at Government expense the; money-losing passenger operations of certain railroads, under the trade name: of AA?iTRAK. But the major proposals of the Presi?? dent for? Goveruanent reforms were ig?? pored by the Democratic-controlled Con?? gress during the last two years. Now, Mr. Nixon says he has decided. "to accomplish as much as I can of that reolganization through executive action." Presidential powers. Opinions vary on how much the President can do widl- out the consent of Congress. One authority expressed this view: "You can't abolish or create executive departments without the consent of Con- gress. You probably can't merge some operating programs without congressional approval. "There are, however, a lot of internal structural changes within Depal?tments and agencies that could be done by ex- ecutive orders of the President." Another official claimed the President has considerable latitude to merge or Approved For.

State Department be- came a tail to the military beast, wagging at it.s master's :command." The Secretary of State, he said, "acquiesces si- lently in military solutions and .emerges only to de- mean his office by engaging in political attacks." (In Ncw York, a spolccsman t'or Secretary of State ZFilliam P.

Taking a stvipc at the power concentrated in the hands of the president's chief foreign policy adviser Henry A.

As the latter-day concentration of power in the Department of De- fense and the other two agencies named was the essential creation of the New Frontier, where the great mass of critics involved have their ori- gins either firsthand or as latterday heirs, it is characteristic that they would turn on this ugly reminder of their own bast. C. Marton Tyrrell, in a book pub- lished in 1970, gave a good, typical statement of the reason that the Na- tional Security Act of 1947, tailored into modern application by the New Frontiersmen when they held the White House in the 1960's, is now anathema, when he wrote this: "(Pentagon officials .and military Tanners, etc.) have tended to diminish ale role of the State department and p'l~ce the Department of Defense in the quasi-official position of suggesting foreign policy actions." His book also charged that the CIA and the National Security Council no police, subpoe- .have "chipped away" at the State De- or internal secur:i=~ partment's policy-making powers.

Political rhetoric ranging from dia- logue to diatribe has been lavished on the targets provided by the terms of that act.

" Back in 1cJG3, shortly after President Kennedy's assassination, Robert r. Kennedy, while he was still Attorney-General, conducted his own investi- gation of the death of his brother. That private in- vestigation, which ran parallel with t:he official inquiry into the magnicide conducted by the ~Var-? ren Commission, was ?featured by trips to this country by an Inspector Iamilton, former Chief Inspector of Scotland Yard. Hamilton, an old friend of Joseph P.

After long conferring with the merr-hers of the Kennedy family and making a few discreet sotuld- ings with liis own contacts, Hami]ton zeroed on the fact that the assassination of 1olrn Kennedy had occurred very shortly after his brother Bobby had made some preliminary moves of taking direct, personal control of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, whose leadership he blamed for the Bay of Pigs fiasco. Hamilton, following the "cui pro- = lest" ("whom does it benefit?") reasoning, reach- ed the- conclusion that Bobby's move t:o seize con- ; ~ trol of the C.LA. had something to do with the ~ - " murder of his elder brother. After Bobby's own assassination in 1'68, it is not ' known whether Teddy has the documentation Bobby had collected in his private investigation or whether it has been destroyed. But apparently Teddy has become convinced of the correctness of Hamilton's conclusion, and furthermore, considers it to have been further vin- - dicated by Bobby's own death-which occurred . within a matter of days after he threw his hat into . the presidential ring and was on the way to put himself again in the position to take over the free-spending, powerful cloak-and-dagger agency.

Mr. Marchetti was on tl:e director's staJJ of the C!A when he resigned fro-n the agency two years ago. Slnce then, his novel The Rope-Dancer has been published by Grosset & Dunlap; he is now working on abook-length critical m~alysis of the CIA. , The Central Intelligence Agency's role in U.,'>. foreign af- fairs is, like the .organization itself, clouded by secrecy and confused by misconceptions, many of ttien- deliberately promoted by the CIA with the cooperation of the news media. Thus to understand the covert mission of this agency and to estimate its value to the political leadership, one must brush myths aside and penetrate to the sources and circumstances from which the agency draws its au- thority and support. The CIA is no accidental, romantic aberration; it is exactly what those who govern the country intend it to be-the clandestine mechanism whereby the executive branch influences the internal alfairs of other nations. In conducting such operations, particularly those that are inherently risky, the C!A acts at the direction and with the approval of the President or his Special .Assistant for National Security Affairs. Before initiating action in the field, the agency almost invariably establishes that its oper- ational plans accord with the aims of the administration and, when possible, the sympathies of Congressional lead- ers. (Sometimes the endorsement or assistance of influen- tial individuals and institutions outside government is also sought.) CIA directors have been remarkably well aware of the dangers they court, both personalty and for the agency, by not gaining ,specific official sanction for their covert operations. They are, accordingly, often more care- ful than arc administrators in other areas of the bureau- cracy to inform the 1Vhitc House of their activities and to seek Presidential blessing. To take the blame publicly for an occasional operational blunder is a`srnall price to pay in return for the protection of the Chief Executive and the men who control the Congress. The U-2 incident of 1960 was viewed by many as an outrageous blunder by the CIA, wrecking the Eisenhower- Khrushchev summit conference in Paris and setting U.S.- Soviet relations back several years. Within the inner circles of the administration, however, the shoot-down was shrugged off as just one of those things that happen in the chancy business of intelligence. After attempts to deny respon$ibility for the action had failed, the President openly defended and even praised the work of the CIA, although for obvious political reasons he avoided noting that he had authorized the disastrous flight. The U-2 prof;ram against the USSR was canceled, but work on its follow-on system, the A-11 (now the SR-71,) was speeded up. Only the launching of the reconnaissance satellites put an end to espionage against the Soviet Union by mantled aircraft. The A-11 development program was completed, neverthe- less, on the premise that it, as well as the U-2, might be useful elsewhere J After the~Bay of feel the sting of Pre; the agency had its because it failed in overthrow Castro.

And all the while, the. CIA' was conducting a 5500 million-a-year private war in Laos and pacification/ assassination programs in Vietnam. The reorganization of the U.S. intelligence commu- nity late last year in no way altered the CIA's mission as the clandestine action arm of American foreign policy. Most of the few changes are intended to improve the finan- cial management of the community, especially in the mili- tary intelligence services where growth and the technical costs of collecting information are almost out of control. Other alterations are designed to improve the meshing of the community's product tivith national security planning and to provide tt~e White House with greater control over operations policy. However, none of that implies a reduction of the CIA's role in covert foreign policy action. In fact, the extensive review conducted by the White House staff in preparation for the reorganization drew heavily on advice provided by the CIA and that given by former agency otlicials through such go-betweens as the influential Council on Foreign Relations. Earlier in the Nixon Admin- istration, the Council had responded to a similar request by recommending that in the future the CIA should con- centrate its covert pressure tactics on Latin American, African and Asian targets, using more foreign nationals as agents and relying- more on private U.S, corporations and other institutions as covers.
