Transfer and Coordination of Federal Programs
The transfer of a program or a function into the Department is
not recommended unless control (as distinguished from coordination)
is viewed as being important to the achievement of the Department's
mission. Where such a program or function is severable, only that
part is transferred into the Department as relates directly to the De-
partment's mission. The transfer out is recommended on the basis of
reverse criteria. From time to time, other Federal programs and func-
tions should be reviewed to see whether they should be transferred
into HUD, including a careful analysis of the many components of
the Civil Rights programs.
Since a Plan of Organization must follow substantive programs
and functions, decisions on the recommendations will shape the form
of the organization.
1. Transfers into the Department
(a) Community Action Programs. We must recognize that the
social problems of the cities have led to turmoil, strife
and great dangers. Many of these problems are inextric-
ably tied to the physical environment. In the judgment
of the Task Force, they should be treated together.
Community Action Programs of the Office of Equal Oppor-
tunity deal directly with the social environment of the City.
Such programs could and would add important "human"
dimensions to a Department that would otherwise be pre-
occupied with the physical environment alone. Moreover,
the Department with its funds, programs and new status
would lend needed strength to the Community Action Pro-
grams. This would tend to make them more successful
and meaningful and to give them essential continuity.
It is believed that the OEO programs must soon find perman-
ent homes in Executive Departments. A number already have.
In the judgment of the Task Force the Community Action
Programs are vital to the performance of the new Department's
total responsibilities and should be transferred to it.
The Plan of Organization insures that Staff responsibilities
for CAP are given to an Assistant Secretary. These will be
his principal duties. When transferred, the announcement
should make clear that in the President's view the transfer
