EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT

Under authority of the Reorganization Act of 1939 (5 U.S.C. 133-133r, 
133t note), various agencies were transferred to the Executive Office of 
the President by the President's Reorganization Plans I and II of 1939 
(5 U.S.C. app.), effective July 1, 1939. Executive Order 8248 of 
September 8, 1939, established the divisions of the Executive Office and 
defined their functions. Subsequently, Presidents have used Executive 
orders, reorganization plans, and legislative initiatives to reorganize 
the Executive Office to make its composition compatible with the goals 
of their administrations.
