Abstract
The author explores the efforts of various executive reorganization plans in this century, especially those predating the Brownlow Committee of 1936-37, to deal with the issue of augmenting the managerial capacity of the presidency. He examines the relationship between apolitical organization theory and the growth of presidential power. The primary function of the several executive reorganization schemes, the author suggests, is to reduce and mask conflict over the changing relationship of the president to Congress and to administration. Reorganization led to a more expansive presidency claiming growing powers over the administrative state.
