One Was Cobwebbing, In Which A Person With An Idea--usually A Young And Bright Person With A Good, New Idea--would Fall Victim To The Surrounding Bureaucrats, Who Would Exclaim, 'Why, That's A Good Idea!' And Throw Out A Web Of Reporting Requirements, Consulting Requirements, Or New Budgeting Procedures.

The Second Method Was The Interagency Task Force.
