Mark Hatfield's gov ernment reorganization pro gram. Two reorganization bills have passed the Senate but none have emerged from the House. Hatfield has about 20 bills related to the cabinet system plan. "The failure or tins legis lature to move substantially in the direction of reorganiza tion of state government will prove that previous utter ances of the legislature were not proclaimed with sincerity or a desire to correct a long standing problem." System Said Unwieldly , Hatfield snys Oregon's pres ent system of boards and com missions, 172 of them, is un wieldy and outmoded. He fu vors the streamlined cabinet system. Yturrl said Oregon's "Utile Hoover commission" of 1040 as well as the 11)57 legislature interim committee and 195!) legislature urged reorganiza tion to commence. Last session the legislature ordered Hntflcld to submit a comprehensive program to the 1061 session. "This has been done," Yturil said. "Now the actions of this legislature will demonstrate the sincerity or luck of it on the part of this body." he said.
