These divisions can get confusing. For example, the NIH, FDA, & Social Security & Medicare are all agencies under the Dept. of HHS.
Sometimes an agency is 'independent', like the FCC; sometimes an agency is under another agency like the CIA under the ODNI, which is not under any Department.
A 'Czar' works out of the White House, and coordinates policy and action between departments and agencies; but not all White House positions have such authority.
So anyways, I divided the appointments into three broad categories.

- The Trade Representative is a unique position; it could belong to the State Dept, or maybe it's a White House position reporting directly to the president. Then again, it may actually be in the Dept of Commerce. All that would need to be verified.
- In actuality, each president is free to structure his administration as they see fit. A Trade Rep may work out of the White House or just be a flunky in a cabinet dept, depending on the priorities of the President. Another example is the National Security Advisor; is he the Chief-of-Staff's boss or is the Chief of Staff his boss? Each president can do it differently. RobSThe Truth.
