No. 610, 81st Cong., 2d sess.] SAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TRANSMITTING GOVERN- e Congress of the United States: ransmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 27 of 1950, prepared in accordance the provisions of the Reorganization Act of 1949. This plan will create a rtment of Health, Education, and Security, as one of the executive departs of the Government, and will transfer to it the functions and constituent of the Federal Security Agency. The Department will be headed by a Secy of Health, Education, and Security, who will be vested with essentially ame duties and authority as are now vested in the Federal Security Adminisis unnecessary to recite again the considerations which make the creation ch a department desirable. As I pointed out in my message transmitting ganization Plan No. 1 of 1949, such action has repeatedly been recommended y predecessors and myself, as well as by others who have studied our Governorganization. The scope and importance of the functions of the Federal rity Agency plainly warrant departmental status. I feel that there should o further delay in effecting this essential reorganization. r. e present plan is designed to meet the major objections which were raised in sition to the 1949 plan when it was disapproved by the Senate.
