The Public Advisory Board as an Instrument of Government

F EW institutions of government have multiplied so rapidly in the past twentyfive years as the public advisory committee. Its closest kin, the industry advisory committee, proliferates in times of emergency but dwindles toward the vanishing point once the war is over or the crisis past. With the public advisory board, there are no such ups and downs. The record since 1938, when there were fewer than ioo in the entire federal government, is one of steady increase. Today the Department of Agriculture alone has half a hundred at the national level, as compared with four in 1938, and the number for the federal service as a whole has risen to several hundred
