IDENT Roosevelt's second governmental reorganization order was approved by the Senate Special Governmental Reorganization Committee after brief deliberation.
The Committee at the same time returned an unfavourable report on the technical resolution of disapproval introduced in Congress by Senator James F. Byrnes, Democrat of South Carolina.
Among the most important provisions of the President's reorganization order is the transfer of the foreign services of the departments of Commerce and Agriculture to the State Department.
