TITLE 19—CUSTOMS DUTIES
§ 2
This results in a net reduction of more than 50 sepa-
rate principal field offices by concentration of super-
visory responsibilities in fewer officials in charge of re-
gional and district activities. In addition to the six of-
fices of regional commissioner, about 25 offices of dis-
trict director will be established. The regional commis-
sioners and district directors will assume the overall
principal supervisory responsibilities and functions of
collectors of customs, appraisers of merchandise, comp-
trollers of customs, laboratories, and supervising cus-

At the headquarters level, four new offices will be es-
tablished to replace seven divisions. A new position of
special assistant to the Commissioner will be created
and charged with responsibility for insuring that all
Customs employees conduct themselves in strict com-
pliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Up to
now this function has been one of a number lodged with
an existing division.
After investigation I have found and hereby declare
that each reorganization included in Reorganization
Plan No. 1 of 1965 is necessary to accomplish one or
more of the purposes set forth in section 2(a) of the Re-
organization Act of 1949, as amended.
It should be emphasized that abolition by Reorga-
nization Plan No. 1 of 1965 of the offices of collector of
customs, comptroller of customs, surveyor of customs,
and appraiser of merchandise will in no way prejudice
any right of any person affected by the laws adminis-
tered by the Bureau of Customs. The rights of import-
ers and others, for example, before the Customs Court,
arising out of the administration of such functions will
remain unaffected. In addition it should be emphasized
that all essentia
