Abstract: Integration and coördination are terms that have long been used to describe the objectives of administrative reorganization. Thus coupled, the two words have appeared to represent mutually compatible goals. And most efforts at reform of local, state, and even federal, administration have embodied elements of both integration and coördination.A somewhat different note was struck in the report of the President's Committee on Administrative Management transmitted to Congress in January, 1937. Here the emphasis was upon an improvement of the staff organization of the Presidency, rather than upon any large-scale effort to re-group and consolidate existing administrative agencies. Accordingly, it would not be unfair to say that coördination, even more than integration, was the objective of the proposals submitted by the President's Committee.
