The terms "procedure," "regulatory," and "agencies" do not go unchal- lenged, especially in these days of symposia and institutes on administrative law. For present purposes, the term "procedure" will be given a restricted meaning and will be used, in a manner especially familiar to lawyers, to describe the methods and practices relat- ing to administrative hearings. Someone has called this the "full- dress" level of administrative procedure. This description, if applicable to the procedure of any administrative agency, is hardly descriptive of that of a bureau of the Department of Agriculture.
