Government experts provide the first reference history of the
Executive Office of the President from its establishment in 1939
through the Bush Administration. Eleven chapters analyze the
concept behind the office, its organization and reorganization, and
how it developed over the last 55 years in terms of the broad
functions that it serves. Chapters offer a careful, dispassionate
survey of the office in terms of budget, management, and personnel;
economics; national security; science and technology; exigency and
emergency; resources development; domestic policy planning; the
office of the Vice-President; and reorganizations, presidential
style, and staffing matters. This reference is enriched also by
biographical profiles of important staff members in the office
during the last half-century, descriptions of different agencies, a
chronology, and a bibliography. Designed for political scientists,
public administrators, and historians, this study is invaluable for
students and scholars, policymakers and public administrators,
governmental and non-governmental professionals. Government experts
provide a thorough and detailed overview of the development of the
Executive Office and its components, with related research
references. Part I consists of nine authored chapters which explore
the creation of the Executive Office, its organization and
reorganization, and, within broad functional areas-including
budgeting, management and personnel, economics, national security,
science and technology, exigency and emergency, resources
development, and domestic policy and planning-its primary agencies.
Two additional chapters are devoted respectively to the White House
Office and the Office of the Vice-President. Throughout these
accounts, ample references provide guidance to relevant source
materials and authorities. Part II includes profiles of the
principal units of the Executive Office and biographical sketches
of a large representative sample of the leaders of those units as
well as the senior staff of the White House Office. A chronology of
Executive Office organizational developments and statistical data,
together with a comprehensive bibliography, further enrich this
sourcebook, designed to assist the conduct of studies and research
by interested readers in the fields of government and history.
