"During the campaign, Carter promised the American people that if
elected he would reduce the number of government agencies and
committees from nearly 2,000 to 200. While the promise to cut the
number of agencies was compelling campaign rhetoric, the White House
realized after the election that it tied the president to a
questionable metric of success, so it was quietly abandoned after the
first 100 days. Instead, the White House saw eliminating agencies or
overlapping functions as a means towards better government, not an
end."
