Louis McLane

Louis McLane (1786-1857) represented the state of Delaware in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate and served as the Secretary of the Treasury and later the Secretary of State under President Andrew Jackson.

As Secretary of State, McLane managed the first major reorganization of the Department of State, establishing seven new bureaus. His organization was basically retained until Ulysses S. Grant's Secretary of State, Hamilton Fish, reorganized in response to a reduction in the number of State Department staff.
