SOCOLAR 1 115307I ACTING COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES BEFORE TBE COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS UNITED STATES SENATE ON . .._.I I’ --- I/ THE PRESIDENT'S REORGANIZATION AUTHORITY 1 !"%.,_ d) Mr. Chairman, we are pleased to appear today to discuss the subject of Presidential reorganization authority. I am including as appendix I the digest of our recent report on the Reorganization Act of 1977. In reviewing several reorgani- zations, we identified what seems to be a fundamental problem in the reorganization process. Substantial time and resources are always devoted to deciding what is to be reorganized; little at- tention is given, however, to planning the mechanics of how re- organizations are to be implemented. The lack of early implementation planning results in substan- tial startup problems distracting agency officials from their new missions during the critical first year of operations. Also, with- out implementation data, the Congress is not aware of the full impact of reorganization requirements. Ten reorganization plans were carried out under the Reorgani- zation Act of 1977. We reviewed four affecting six agencies: the Civil Service Commission (relating to the Federal Labor Relations Authority, the Merit Systems Protection Board, and the Office of the Special Counsel), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the International Development Cooperation Agency. Startup problems at the six new and reorganized agencies were severe. It took from 10 to 23 months to obtain key officials at two of the agencies.

  • The Changing Face of the Congressional Black Caucus
    THE CHANGING FACE OF THE CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS KAREEM CRAYTON I. INTRODUCTION In March of 2007, Congressman John Lewis faced a problem of a metaphysical variety. Try as he might, he simply could not be present in two places at once. The setting was Selma, Alabama, during the series of ceremonies commemorating the 1965 march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge on Bloody Sunday.1 About four decades earlier, a much younger John Lewis (then, a spokesman for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) had been assaulted and beaten by a phalanx of Alabama state police while leading a march protesting the state’s denial of the ballot to black citizens.2 That moment in time secured Lewis’s place in American history and politics as a hero of the civil rights movement, and it later made him the easy favorite to win a Congressional seat representing the city of Atlanta, Georgia.3 Among the country’s best-known black political leaders, Congressman Lewis was a prime catch for any politician who was lucky enough to appear with him during the march. Evidence of even a tacit endorsement from him would have been an appealing prize for any of the Democratic presidential hopefuls, all of whom were heavily courting black voters in the South’s primary states. With so much press attention on his whereabouts during the Selma ceremonies, Lewis was quite publicly torn about where to fit in. In an extended radio interview on the topic, Lewis described his deep ambivalence about which candidate would ultimately receive his support.4 Associate Professor of Law & Political Science, University of Southern California.

  • Cheri Beasley Endorsement
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 28, 2021 Contact: Yolonda Addison [email protected] Contact: Kelley Jackson [email protected] Contact: Aprill Turner [email protected] CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS PAC, DEMOCRACY FOR AMERICA PAC, HIGHER HEIGHTS FOR AMERICA PAC Announce Their Joint Endorsement of Former Chief Justice Cheri Beasley in her Bid for U.S. Senate The CBCPAC, DFA PAC, HHFA PAC proudly endorse Fmr Chief Justice Beasley in her U.S. Senate run in North Carolina. Washington, D.C. - The Congressional Black Caucus PAC (the political arm of the Congressional Black Caucus), Democracy for America PAC (the people-powered, grassroots organization), and Higher Heights for America PAC (the only organization in the U.S. whose sole purpose is to elect African American Women to higher office) announced their joint endorsement of Former Chief Justice Cheri Beasley in her bid for the U.S. Senate. “It is crucial for our hard working Members in the House of Representatives to have colleagues in the Senate to ensure that their amazing bills become laws. We have seen what happens when we don’t have Senators who share our values and make it their mission to stall legislation. The CBCPAC is honored to endorse Justice Cheri Beasley to become the next US Senator from North Carolina,” CBCPAC Executive Director, Yolonda Addison said. “Cheri Beasley is no stranger to fighting uphill battles and delivering on her promises for North Carolina families; that’s why Democracy for America is excited to endorse her campaign for the U.S. Senate in North Carolina. We’re confident that Cheri is ready to take on special interests and go to Washington to create change for those that have been left behind for far too long.
