[blocks in formation]

JUNE 10 (legislative day, MAY 28), 1940.-Ordered to be printed

Mr. VAN NUYS, from the Committee on the Judiciary, submitted the following

REPORT

[To accompany S. 820]

The Committee on the Judiciary, to whom was referred the bill (S. 820) providing for the granting of leave to certain employees of the United States to enable them to vote at elections, after consideration, report the same to the Senate with the recommendation that it do pass.

The bill merely provides that leave may be granted Federal employees (outside of the District of Columbia) to vote at elections, at the same terms that such leave is granted State employees in the particular jurisdiction. The right of franchise being one of the first elements of our democratic system of government, the committee is of the opinion that, as there have been instances reported where Federal employees were denied leave to vote, this legislation is obviously the proper remedy and safeguard against any such denial of the right in the future.
