Lawmakers from agrarian districts want President Obama to open a White House Office of Rural Policy as a counterpart to the Office of Urban Affairs he established last month. Members of the Congressional Rural Caucus, co-chaired by Reps. Travis Childers, D-Miss., and Adrian Smith, R-Neb., sent Obama a letter Tuesday making the proposal. "Just like urban areas, rural congressional districts face challenges unique to their communities," said Childers. "... An Office of Rural Policy would help create a closer working relationship between rural and urban interests, and foster policies that benefit both communities."

Doesn't seem like a bad idea in principle -- all for balance and what have you -- but wonder what the additional administrative costs would be for WH Office of Rural Policy and if there would lead to contretemps w/ Urban Affairs (not unlike that of State Dept v. National Security advisor) .
Can an office of rural policy be incorporated into the existing WH Office of Urban Affairs, or would that be unworkable?
