Scope and Content Information

This addition to the Rowland Egger papers spanning the years 1945-1971 consists of ca. 100 items. These papers contain mainly reports, memoranda, and letters received or produced by Egger while serving on the President's Task Force on Government Reorganization, July-November, 1964.

There are three letters from President Lyndon Baines Johnson to Egger thanking him for working on the Task Force and expressing appreciation for work done in Bolivia, prior to the organization of the Task Force.

Drafts drawn up by Egger and Donald K. Price, Chairman of the Task Force, were prepared to set a basis for discussion during the Task Force meetings. Also included are electrostatic copies of the revised and final drafts of the report of the President's Task Force on Government Reorganization.

There is an electrostatic copy of a press release from the Office of the White House Press Secretary dealing mainly about four major domestic problems: education, health, conservation of natural resources, and farm policy. Many of the problems stated in the press release were studied by the Task Force.

One article of interest in the collection not dealing with the President's Task Force was a memorandum submitted by President Richard M. Nixon's Advisory Council on Executive Organization on Natural Resources .
