To analyze and describe the permanently valuable records of the Federal Government preserved in the j\lational J\rchives Building is one of the main
tasks of the National Archives 0 Various kinds of finding aids are needed to facilitate the use of these reccrds, and the first step in the records description program is the compilation ~f iJreliminary inventories Gf the material in the nO-odd record groups to which the holdinGs of the l'lational Archives are allocatedo
These inventories are called II pre liminary" because they are provisional in character. They are prepared as soon as pos3ible after the records are received without waitinG to screen out all disposable material or to perfect the arrangement of the records. They are compiled primarily for internal use, both as finding aids to help the staff render efficient reference service and as a means of establishing administrative control over the records.
Each preliminary inventory contains an introduction that briefly states the history and functions of the agency that accumulated the records. The records themselves are described series by series, that is, by units of records of the same form or that deal with the same subject or activity or that are arranged seriallyo Other significant information about the records may sometimes be gi'fen in appendixeso
Yfuen the record group has been studied sufficiently and the records have been placed in final order, the preliminary inventories will be revised and the word "preliminary" dropped from the title of the rev~s~on. Meanwhile, as occasion dema-ilds and time permits, special reports, indexes, calendars, and other findin[~ aids to the record grc.up will be prepared.
Several finding aids that give an overall picture of materials in the National Archives have been published. A comprehensive Guide to the Records in the National Archives (19h8) and a brief guide, Your Government I s Records in the National Archives (revised 1950), have been issued. Forty-three Reference Information .Papers, which analyze records in the National'Archives on SHCn subjects as transportation, small business, and India, have'so far been publh,hed, hecords of ViGrld,iar I have been described in the Handbook of Federal 'dorld liar hgencies and Their Hecords, 1917-1')21; and tho~e of \TorI3." V;'ar II in tne two volume guide, Federal Rec(r[l~; of 'i,'orld liar II (1)50-51), Many bodies of records of high researcn vc~'=ue have beenedited by the :Jational Archives and reproduced on microfilm as a form of publication, Positive prints of some 4,700 rolls of t,llS microfilm,; described in the List of

'------L'JTRODU CTION
The Select Committee of the House of Representatives to Investigate Acts of ~xecutive Agencies Beyond the Scope of Their Authority was created by House Resolution 102, 78th Congress, adopted by the House of Representatives on February 11, 1943. The resolution, submitted by Representative Howard W. Smith, of Virginia, on February 5, 1943, provided as follows: Resolved, That a C'ommittee of seven Members of the House of Repre sentatives be appointed by the Speaker of the House, which said com mittee is authorized to conduct investigations of any action, rule, procedure, regulation, order,- or directive taken or promulgated by any department or independent agency of the Federal Government where com plaint is made to said committee that such action, rule, regulation, procedure, order or directive-- (1) Is beyond the scope of the power or authority granted to such department or independent agency by Congress or by ~ecutive order. (2) Invades the constitutional rights, privileges, or immunities of citizens of the United States. (3) Inflicts penalties for failure to comply with such rules, regu lations, or directives, without affordinb those accused of violation an opportunity t~ present their defense before a fair and impartial tribunal.
The said committee shall report to the Congress from time to time the results of such investigations and such recommendations as they see fit with respect to the personnel of those administering any such department or independent agency, or shall recommend such legislation or amendments to existing legislation as they deem desirable ••••
On February 18, 1943, the Speaker of the House appointed Howard W. Smith, of Virginia (Chairman); Jerry Voorhis, of California; John J. Delaney, of New York; Hugh Peterson, of Georgia; Fred A. Hartley, Jr., of New Jersey; John Jennings, Jr., of Tennessee; and John Bo Bennett, of Michigan, as members of the 3elect Committee to Investigate Acts of Executive Agencies Beyond the Scope of Their Authority. RepreseC1tative Clare E. Hoffman, of , Michigan, and Representative Albert Gore, of ~ennessee, subsequently succeeded,Representative Bennett and Representa tive Voorhis, respectively, as members of the committee. -Harold L. Allen was appointed General Counsel of the committee, and Martha Crawley, Clerk. 3hortly after the start of the Committee's investigation, Harold L. Allen was succeeded by Aaron L. Ford, who had thereto,fore served as Assistant Gounsel of the committee. In turn, Hyman 10 l'ischbach succeeded Aaron.u. Ford near 'the end of the committee's inquiry. Irving G. McCann, Joseph H. Stratton, H~rold Fo Hanes, John J. }t'ogarty, and Joseph F. Axler served the committee as ~ssistant Counsel.
On January 18, 1945, the J:louse of RelJresentatives, agreeing to House Resolution 88, 79th Congress, authorized the committee to continue its investigation during the 79th Congress.
1 From the time the committee was constituted to the winding up of its activities in the summer of ~946, it received a stream of complaints, which diminished greatly, however, during the 79th Congress, because of the effective work of the committee in eliminating causes of complaint. The complaints came from business organizations and private persons rep resenting that certain Federal agencies, particularly the Office of Price Administration, the War Production Board, and the National War Labor Board, were taking official actions in excess of their respective powers to the prejudice of businessmen and others. In compliance with the pro visions of House Resolution 102, 78th Congress, and House Resolution 88, 79th Congress, the Committee made many inquiries into the merits of these complaints. It conducted hearings in Washington intermittently between April 7, 1943, and June 14, 1946, receivini testimony from representatives of business organizations, private perscns, and officials of Federal • agencies. The findings resulting from the committee:rs investigation, to,~ether with its recommendations for remedial action in the form of legis lation or of correctiv,:.: administrative measures by the Federal agencies concerned, were submitted to the House of Representatives in a series of reports! House Reports 699, 862, 898, 1024, 1366, 1797, 1912, 78th ConbTess; and House Reports n42, 1210, 2659, 79th Congress.
The records described in this inventory consist in the main of communi cations, often accompanied by related documents, addressed to the committee by persons who felt aggrieved by what they conceived to be unwarranted ad ministra~ive actions of Federal agencies, and who sought to bring before the attention of the committee their individual grievances as appropriate sub jects for its investigation; replies of the committee to these communications; and exhibits received in evidence by the committee. Some exhibits of the committee are missing.
The records of the committe~whlch amount to approximately 20 cubic feet, are part of Record Group 233, Records of United States House of Rep resentatives. No person may have access to the records of the committee or receive information contained therein except upon express authorization by the House of Representatives.
