The Little Hoover Commission (or similar state-level “Little Hoover” commissions modeled on the federal Hoover Commission).

The original Hoover Commissions (formally the Commission on Organization of the Executive Branch of the Government) were bipartisan federal panels chaired by former President Herbert Hoover. The first operated 1947–1949 under Truman; the second operated 1953–1955 under Eisenhower. They recommended ways to reorganize, streamline, and improve efficiency in the executive branch; a large share of their proposals were adopted.

In the early 1960s, numerous states created analogous bodies often nicknamed “Little Hoover Commissions” to study and recommend reforms to state government organization and operations. California’s version is the best-known example: the Milton Marks “Little Hoover” Commission on California State Government Organization and Economy was established by legislation in 1961–1962 (and continues to operate as an independent oversight agency). Similar panels appeared in other states around the same period.

These state commissions were explicitly patterned after (and served as the 1960s-era successors/“backups” or emulations of) the federal Hoover Commission’s approach to government reorganization and efficiency. The question most likely refers to this lineage rather than to any succession plan involving J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI.
