Louis Brownlow
Louis Brownlow (August 29, 1879 – September 27, 1963) was an American author, political scientist, and consultant in the area of public administration. As chairman of the Committee on Administrative Management (better known as the Brownlow Committee) in 1937, he co-authored a report which led to passage of the Reorganization Act of 1939 and the creation of the Executive Office of the President.〔Mosher, ''American Public Administration: Past, Present, Future,'' 1975, p. 72-73; Dickinson, ''Bitter Harvest: FDR, Presidential Power, and the Growth of the Presidential Branch,'' 1999, p. 112.〕 While chairing the Committee on Administrative Management, Brownlow called several of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's advisors men with "a passion for anonymity"—which later became a popular phrase.〔"Louis Brownlow, 84, Writer on Politics." ''New York Times.'' September 28, 1963.〕〔Safire, ''Safire's Political Dictionary,'' 2008, p. 523; "Louis Brownlow," ''Washington Post,'' September 30, 1963.〕
