EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 158

(Revoking Executive Order No. 121)

    WHEREAS, there is in the Commonwealth a need for the more
effective use of federal and state resources in order to better
address the needs of low-income families, and

    WHEREAS, greater efficiency, as well as the elimination of
unnecessary bureaucratic duplication in the administration of programs
designed to help alleviate poverty, can be achieved by reassigning the
functions of the Social and Economic Opportunity Council to the
Division of Social and Economic Opportunity within the Executive Office
of Communities and Development, thereby helping to ensure that these
programs provide the maximum benefit for those they were intended to
serve.

    NOW, THEREFORE, I, Edward J. King, Governor of the Common-
wealth of Massachusetts, by virtue of the authority vested in me as
supreme executive magistrate, do hereby order as follows:

    Effective as of June 30, 1979, Executive Order No. 121 is
hereby revoked.

Given at the Executive Chamber in
Boston this 29th day of April, in the
year of our Lord one thousand nine
hundred seventy-nine and of the
Independence of the United States
of America two hundred and three.

EDWARD J. KING
GOVERNOR
Commonwealth of Massachusetts

MICHAEL JOSEPH CONNOLLY
Secretary of the Commonwealth
