The Secretary of Commerce has power over all material services and facilities, including construction materials;

The Secretary of Transportation has power over all forms of civilian transportation;

The Secretary of Agriculture has power over food resources and facilities, livestock plant health resources, and the domestic distribution of farm equipment;

The Secretary of Health and Human Services has power over all heath resources;

The Secretary of Energy has power over all forms of energy.
