Forty years ago in 1899 President McKinley could deal with the whole machinery of the Executive Branch through his eight cabinet secretaries and the heads of two commissions. . . . Now, forty years later, not only do some thirty major agencies . . . report directly to the President, but there are several quasi-judicial bodies which . . . also see him. . . .It has become physically impossible for one man to see so many persons. How does this quote illustrate the need for the Reorganization Act of 1939?
