Many of the most controversial and sensitive subjects will be aired before this committee. Of the Constitutional'amendments to be considered by the committee, two such propositions are aimed at overcoming reqent decisions of the United States Supreme Court. First, of course, is the proposed Constitutional amendment to permit states to apportion one chamber of their state legislatures on a basis other than population. The second proposal would amend Article I of the Bill of Rights to permit prayer and Bible reading in the public schools. The archaic electoral college system is the target for still another Constitutional amendment. This would assure a more accurate translation of the popular votes into the actual selection of our nation's President and Vice-President. Perhaps the most controversial measure to "be reviewed by the committee this year will be the Administration's proposed amendments to the Immigration laws to pennit a pooling of national quotas and the admission of immigrants primarily on the basis of their skills. Another area for extensive hearings by the committee will be proposed revision of our federal copyright laws. Bills to change the method of presidential succession will also be on the agenda. These specific subjects are in addition to the general jurisdiction which the committee will exercise over: (a) claims against the government, (b) private immigration bills, (c) amendments to federal laws-- both civil and criminal, fd) antitrust legislation, and (e) the entire federal judicial system. One of the extraordinary and vitally interesting areas of work by the House Judiciary committee is that relating to impeachment proceedings. Article I of the federal Constitution grants sole power of impeachments to the House of Representatives, with the result that all impeachment resolutions are referred to this committee. Following the institution of any such proceedings in the House of Representatives, the matter is then referred to the United States Senate for the impeachment trial. In the 175 years of our nation's history, twelve impeachment cases have been brought as a result of recommendations by the House Judiciary committee. These included, of course, the impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson in 1868. Most of the other proceedings have involved federal judges. The last such case was that of District Judge Halstead L. Ritter of Florida who was removed from office following an impeachment trial in April, 1936. In order to handle the vast volume of legislative work, the committee is divided into five s u b c o m m i t t e e s . W i t h an e f fort to divide the Work load equally amonj; the committee members, each commit tee member serves on two of such subcommittees, and all subcommittee action is reported only after review by the full thirtv-five-member committee. In addition to the committee members, a staff director, a general counsel and six assistant counsels aid the committee in its work. While the work of the committee is expected to be arduous during the present Congress, the opportunity for interesting and constructive Congressional service was never greater. The House Judiciary Committee, to which this Member of Congress was appointed last week, has an illustrious history of legislative service dating from the earliest days of the Republic. Limited to Congressmen who are also members of the legal profession, tlie-yJudiciary Committee has existed continuously slnte the year 1813. Three former Presidents of the United States- James Buchanan, Franklin Pierce and William McKinley --are among the famous personalities who, during their earlier service in the House of Representatives, were members of , the Judiciary Committtee. In addition, during the span of years frojgi 1813 to 1965, the committee membership has included such former Congressmen as Daniel Webster, Ste- THE McHENRY PLAINDEALEJI Thursday, February -11* 1965 phen A. Douglas, Oscar W. Underwood, George W. Morris, John W. Davis, Fiorello La- Guard ia, Estes Kefauver and many -others. / It is interesting to note that a former chairman of the JuiJiciary Committee in the 83rd Congress (1953-1954) was the late Representative Chauncey W. Reed, whose district at that time included McHenry County (now part of the 12th Congress sional District). The Judiciary Committee handles a greater volume of legislation than any other committee of the House. For instance, in the 8Xth Congress 5,476 bills of a total of 15.299 bills (Or 36.4°°) introduced in the House were referred to the Judiciary Committee. The present chairman of the committee, Congressman EmanUel Celler of New York, stated recently in a report: "Clearly, this committee is or^p of the most active in Congress." • The most important ' bill handled by the Judiciary Committee during the last session of Congress was the Civil Right Act of 1964. During the extensive ten days of debate on the Floor of the House of Representatives, the Judiciary Committee members staved off crippling amendments while acceding 1o many changes for improvement of the bill. l\ is expected that the volume\ of legislation to be assigned to the House Judiciary Committee during the 89th Congress will equal or exceed that handled in prior years. Many of these measures will be among the most important on the legislative agenda. A summary of the proposals with which this Member of Congress will be intimately connected as a new member of the House Judiciary Committee will .be presented in next week's report.
