  • Senate Judiciary Committee Print, June 1945
    NLRB-00114397 SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE PRINT, JUNE 1945 NoTE.-In May 1945 the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate issued a Committee Printcontaining in two columns the text of the bill as originally introduced by Senator McCarran, Chairman of the Committee, on January6, 1945, together with a parallel column con- siistng of a "revised text developed through informal conferences with interested parties" and some notes explaining shifts of language from one provision to another. This Printwas reproducedin the later one of June 1945, to which was added a third column containing an "explanation of provisions with references" and a fourth column of "suggestions and objections of interested parties with reference to revised text". The originally introduced text is not reproduced here, since it is the same as the text of H. R. 1203 beginningat page 155 and the explana- tions and commenti relate to the revised text. There is reproduced below, in one column, the revised text in italics followed as to each provision by notes, explanations, and suggestion&appearing in the Committee Printof June 1945. First,however, there appear the two explanatory paragraphsife the Print. Editorialinserts, made neces- sary by the more convenient ,one-column form used below, are bracketed. EXPLANATIONS [Beneath] each paragraph of the revised *ext as presented [below n italics] is a statement of the purport, derivation, or relation of the provision. References are made to the final report of the Attorney Generai's Committee on Administrative Procedure and to other au- thorities. The committee has also had the benefit of the report of the President's Committee on Administrative Management, the mono- graphs issued by the Attorney General's Committee respecting each important Federal agency, the several volumes of hearings by a sub- committee of this committee in 1941, and the cu'rrent hearings before the House Judiciary Committee.
