“...Not only should all centralized Federal offices be located in Washington..”

I think only the Departments of Defense, Justice and State should be headquartered in WDC. The others should be scattered throughout the country - each Department to a different city.

Every state has at least one Federal building where state offices of these Federal departments are domiciled.

If I lived in Nebraska, the last thing I'd want is a bunch of Agriculture Department bureaucrats living next door to me.
