§ app:a-9.

There is hereby created in the State Department of Defense, the office of civilian

defense director. 1 The civilian defense director shall be appointed by the Governor and shall hold

office at the will and pleasure of the Governor with or without compensation in the

discretion of the Governor. He shall assist the Governor in effectuating the purposes of this act and, to that

end, the Governor is empowered to delegate to the said civilian defense director any

of the powers conferred by this act upon the Governor to the extent that such delegation

of power is, in the judgment of the Governor, necessary; provided, however, that

all such powers shall be exercised in the name of the Governor. The Governor is authorized to establish an adequate organization to assist in supervising

and co-ordinating the civilian defense activities of the State Government and of all

of the political subdivisions of this State and for that purpose the said Governor

is authorized and empowered, within the limits of appropriations, to establish and

operate such subordinate offices as may be necessary. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to empower the Governor to delegate

to the civilian defense director any of the powers heretofore conferred upon the established

State Departments. 1
