Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Second printing [stated]. viii, 326, [2] pages. Illustrations. Bibliography. Index. Pencil erasure residue on fep. The DJ has some wear and a few small tears to edges. This is one of the Praeger Library of U.S. Government Departments and Agencies series. This book deliberately emphasizes the perspective of the Secretary and his office, and is, therefore, unduly brief in treating the program agencies. Even so, the amount of space that could be allocated to the stewardship of each of the ten Secretaries painfully brief. Topics covered include HEW: Large Offspring of a Social Revolution; The First twenty Years; The Structure of HEW and the Office of the Secretary; Social Security; Welfare and Rehabilitation; Education; Health Research; Health Services and Resources; Health and Consumer Protection; Civil Rights; Managing So Complex and Enterprise; ad Whither HEW? There is also an Epilogue, as well as an Appendices listing HEW Programs included in the 1973 Federal Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance; Careers in HEW, and Principal Officials of HEW and Predecessor Organizations 1867-1973. Throughout, the author brings to bear his wide background as practitioner and teacher of public administration by showing the relation between specific pressures and events and the problems of managing so large an enterprise. In the final chapter he examines and comments on the competing proposals to enlarge the Department or to break it up into smaller components. Rufus Edward Miles, Jr. (June 14, 1910 - April 9, 1996) was an American government administrator and author. Mr. Miles' began in 1935 when he moved to Washington to take a position with the Civilian Conservation Corps. During World War II, he worked for the Navy's Bureau of Ships, and after the war, he joined the staff of the Budget Bureau. He held administrative positions at the Federal Security Agency (in part a predecessor of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (H.E.W.). He served at H.E.W. for fifteen years. He also served as an assistant secretary to three United States Presidents: Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson. After his retirement in 1965 Mr. Miles was a lecturer and director of the mid-career program of the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University. Subsequently he was elected to the National Academy of Public Administration and was named to the President's Advisory Council on Management Improvement. He wrote several books, including The Department of Health Education and Welfare (1974), a history of H.E.W., and Awakening From the American Dream: The Social and Political Consequences of Growth (1976), which argued that rapid economic growth was not sustainable over the long term. The latter book was a runner-up for the 1977 National Book Award. Miles is the originator and namesake of the aphorism Miles' Law, which states, "Where you stand depends on where you sit." The phrase originated in remarks Miles made in late 1948 and early 1949 while working as chief of the labor and welfare branch of the Bureau of the Budget. In retirement he wrote an essay, "The Origin and Meaning of Miles' Law," which states that it was intended to describe the changes in point of view and behavior of public officials as they move from one position to another. The United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (also known as HEW) was a cabinet-level department of the United States government from 1953 until 1979. It was administered by the United States Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. In 1979, a separate Department of Education (ED) was created from this department, and HEW was renamed as the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). President Warren G. Harding proposed a Department of Education and Welfare as early as 1923, and similar proposals were also recommended by subsequent presidents, but for various reasons was not implemented. It was only enacted as part of Reorganization Plan Number 1 of 1953, transmitted to Congress by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on March 12, 1953. HEW ran a Community Public Health Program, which was famous for its grants to cities like Chicago for rat control. It ran a Solid Waste program focused on municipal waste issues, like how to build sanitary landfills rather than dumps. It also had a radiation program under which it wrote standards on things like microwave ovens. When the EPA was created in 1970, it assumed a number of HEW's programs that related to environmental protection, including its pesticides program and half of its radiation program. To date, this was the only department of the U.S. government to be created through presidential reorganization authority, in which the president is allowed to create or reorganize bureaucracies as long as neither house of Congress passed a legislative veto. This power to create new departments was removed after 1962, but in the early 1980s, the Supreme Court declared legislative vetoes unconstitutional. The Federal Security Agency (FSA) was established on July 1, 1939, under the Reorganization Act of 1939, P.L. 76-19. The objective was to bring together in one agency all federal programs in the fields of health, education, and social security. The first Federal Security Administrator was Paul V. McNutt. The new agency originally consisted of the following major components: (1) Office of the Administrator, (2) Public Health Service (PHS), (3) Office of Education, (4) Civilian Conservation Corps, and (5) Social Security Board. By 1953, the Federal Security Agency's programs in health, education, and social security had grown to such importance that its annual budget exceeded the combined budgets of the Departments of Commerce, Justice, Labor and Interior and affected the lives of millions of people. Consequently, in accordance with the Reorganization Act of 1949, President Eisenhower submitted to the Congress on March 12, 1953, Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1953, which called for the dissolution of the Federal Security Agency and elev.
