ORGANIZATION OF THE DECREASE STATE No. 145.

Bs. As., 31/10/73

VISTO Ministry Act No. 20.524 and

CONSIDERING:

The Ministry of Economy establishes the technical determination of the organic-functional structures of all agencies of the National State, regardless of their nature, except those of the national defence.

That its application determines a process of realignment of the specific powers of the Ministries, to which those would be subordinated.

It is necessary to order the process by conforming to the actual needs of the willing transfers.

In order to do so, national and uniform rules of administrative organization should be adopted and ensure their comprehensive and harmonious implementation.

That in order for this performance to be realized, it is necessary to create a normative body and computer that coordinates, unifies and solves practically all the problems that arise during the process of rationalization of the structures of the ministries, as well as those that may arise in relation to the new Secretariats of State, Secretariats, Undersecretariats and Dependent Directions.

It is highly inconvenient and unjustifiable to submit modification projects of structures of the same jurisdiction, with less than one year in force.

Therefore,

THE PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINA NATION
