Talmadge, a leading
congressional opponent of
the Carter Administration’s
plan to shift the U.S. Forest
Service to the proposed new
Department, charged that
the reorganization move
would undermine morale in
the Forest Service. The
Forest Service has been a
part of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture for over half a

said the plan had been cir
culated by the President’s
Reorganization Project, the
group that proposed the new
Department of Natural
Resources, by expanding the
existing Department of the
Interior.
“It is, therefore, clear that
the proposed reorganization
would seriously undermine
the professionalism and
effectiveness of the Forest
Service and open the door to
the possible exploitation oi
the National Forests,’
Talmadge said.
Talmadge said the lates
effort to shift the U.S. Fores
Service from Agriculture t

warmed-over hash - a
idea whose time will new
come.”
