CONFIDENTIAL
SU - 8th Draft
1/20/71
- 18 -
The sixth great goal is a complete reform of the Federal
Government itself.
In the course of these past 24 years I have had a rare oppor-
tunity. I have served in the House, in the Senate, foreeight years
as Vice President. Then, for eight years as a private citizen, I
had a chance to reflect on what I had seen and learned. And now,
in these two years as President, I have seen the government from
yet another perspective.
Based this experience, and ased on a long and intensive
study with the aid of the best advice available, I have concluded
that a sweeping reorganization of the Executive Branch itself is
needed if the government is to keep up with the times and the needs
of the people.
In this past year we have made a beginning. We took the Post
Office out of politics. We brought pollution enforcement activities
together in a new Environmental Protection Agency. We reorganized
