Letter of Transmittal WASHINGTON, D. C., DEAR SIRS: In accordance with Public Law 162, approved July 7, 1947, the Commission on Organization of the Executive Branch of the Government has undertaken an examination into the operation and organization of the executive functions and activities. In this examination it has had the assistance of various task forces which have made studies of particular segments of Government. Herewith, it submits to the Congress a study, prepared for the Commission's consideration on aspects of agricultural functions and organization in the United States. The study of each task force naturally is made from its own particular angle. The Commission, in working out a pattern for the Executive Branch as a whole, has not accepted all the recommendations of the task forces. Furthermore, the Commission, in its own series of reports, has not discussed all the recommendations of an administrative order although they may be of importance to the officials concerned. The Commission's own report in this particular field is submitted to the Congress separately. The Commission wishes to express its appreciation to Dean H. P. Rusk, of the Illinois State College of Agriculture; G. Harris Collingwood, research director, and the committee which prepared this task force study. Major Contribution of this Committee. II.
