Yes, but a liberal interpretation of "and other measures, as in his judgment may be necessary" would imply unlimited executive power for the Surgeon General.

The US Congress can't just delete every single authority of the legislative and executive branch to the Surgeon General, a single sentence about "and other measures" cannot allow a Surgeon General to assume complete power.

This is where judicial interpretation comes into play with these laws. Congress writes bad laws sometimes.
