Sec. 1625. Transfer and consolidation of functions, powers, 
        bureaus, etc.
        
    In order to facilitate administration and to increase the 
effectiveness of the marketing research, service, and regulatory work of 
the Department of Agriculture to the fullest extent practicable, the 
Secretary of Agriculture is authorized, notwithstanding any other 
provisions of law, to transfer, group, coordinate, and consolidate the 
functions, powers, duties, and authorities of each and every agency, 
division, bureau, service, section, or other administrative unit in the 
Department of Agriculture primarily concerned with research, service, or 
regulatory activities in connection with the marketing, transportation, 
storage, processing, distribution of, or service or regulatory 
activities in connection with, the utilization of, agricultural 
products, into a single administrative agency. In making such changes as 
may be necessary to carry out effectively the purposes of this chapter, 
the records, property, personnel, and funds of such agencies, divisions, 
bureaus, services, sections, or other administrative units in the 
Department of Agriculture affected are authorized to be transferred to 
and used by such administrative agency to which the transfer may be 
made, but such unexpended balances of appropriations so transferred 
shall be used only for the purposes for which such appropriations were 
made.
