Department need a comprehensive appraisal of the entire program of the Department this despite the fact that the separate parts of the Federal agricultural research pro gram are continuously and effectively ex amined and adjusted as the result of the judgments of research leaders and the recommendations of advisory groups.

It further recognized that special attention needs to be given to determining whether different lines of research prope rly complement and supplement each other, and whether changes in emphasis are needed to reach the overall objectives more effec tively. The Administrative Memorandum pointed out the need to recognize in this appraisal the Department's research re sponsibility for maximum contribution to the problems facing agriculture in the next few years, and its responsibility to obtain research results that will be needed over the longer term.
