Pursuant to House Resolution 107, 85th Congress, the chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary appointed the following members to act as the Antitrust Subcommittee and to carry on the investigations and submit the reports authorized by this resolution: Emanuel Celler (New York), chairman; Peter W.

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL DECEMBER 30, 1958. To Members of Subcommittee No. 5 of the Committee on the Judiciary: On March 1, 1958, I transmitted to members of the subcommittee parts I and II of a report prepared at my request by the subcommittee staff, analyzing the Federal conflict of interest statutes and the related provisions of the Criminal Code prohibiting bribery. I now transmit parts III, IV, and V of the report, dealing respectively with recent legislative proposals in the area of Government employment ethics; existing agency provisions; and consideration of an overall code to apply to the entire Government. Problems of ethical standards in Government have long engaged the attention of Congress, of the executive branch, and of the public at large, and I hope that the material which the staff has prepared will prove both useful and interesting to members of the subcommittee. It is understood that any conclusions or recommendations contained in the staff report do not necessarily embody the views of the subcommittee or any of its members. EMANUEL CELLER, Chairman. |
