The committee met at 10 a.m., pursuant to notice, in room 2123, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Harley O. Staggers (chairman) presiding. The CHAIRMAN. The committee will come to order. We are pleased to have with us today the Interstate Commerce Commission in the first of the series of examinations of the work of the various agencies which administer laws that are within the committee's legislative jurisdiction. This series the committee is conducting in accordance with its responsibilities under section 136 of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 to maintain constant watchfulness over the administration of the laws by those agencies administering laws that fall within the committee's legislative jurisdiction. This committee ever has been mindful of these duties and responsibilities and for some 20 years now has opened each Congress with a general review of the work of the various agencies involved, although within the last immediate Congresses this was handled by special subcommittee rather than by the committee as a whole. These meetings also have enabled it to become acquainted with the new members of the various commissions and agencies as well as for our new members to become versed in the agency activities. In turn, I think that it has also been very helpful in enabling the commission and agency members and officials to become acquainted with the members of this committee. Inasmuch as this Commission is one of the so-called independent agencies, which essentially act as arms of the Congress in their administration of the congressional powers which have been delegated to them, we naturally feel very close to it. The powers delegated to such agencies are very broad, and the statutory standards to circumscribe and guide them in the exercise of these powers necessarily are very general. Under these circumstances, it is most important for the Congress regularly to review the work of these agencies, and to consider the problems which they encounter in administering these powers. The Interstate Commerce Commission has been requested to tell us today something about (1) its jurisdiction; (2) its organization; and (3) some of the problems in the area of its jurisdiction. 1 |
