- 24 - (1) Rather than scattering responsibility by adding new levels of bureaucracy, we would focus and concentrate the responsibility for getting problems solved. (2) With these four departments, when we have a problem we will know where to go -- and the department will have the authority and the resources to do something about it. 4. Over the years we have added departments and created agencies, each to serve a new constituency or to handle a particular task -- and these have grown and multiplied in what has become a hopeless confusion of form and function. 5. The time has come to match our structure to our purposes -- to look with a fresh eye, and to organize the government by conscious, comprehensive design to meet the new needs of a new era. (1) One hundred years ago, Abraham Lincoln stood on a battlefield and spoke of a government of the people, by the people and for the people. ,40
