Secretary of the Navy Newberry proposes a plan to reorganize the administration of the Navy Department. He believes it is within his and President Roosevelt’s authority to make administrative changes and that these changes will be so positive that Congress will make them permanent by law. Newberry suggests changes to the membership of the General Board, the role of the Assistant Secretary, and the organization of the Board on Construction, and details what these changes will entail.
