Mr. HOLMAN. Mr. Chairman, with Mr. Schweppe's consent, unfortunately I have to take a plane leaving here this morning. Mr. Schweppe is taking a plane later. I would like to put my statement in, with his consent, if he will withdraw. The CHAIRMAN. Surely. Mr. SMITHEY. If Mr. Holman is going to appear now, I would like to introduce at this time a letter and ask that it be received, from Mr. Joseph D. Stecher, who is secretary of the American Bar Association, and who I understand has acted in that capacity for many years, on the subject of the report submitted at Chicago by several individuals as the report of the section on international and comparative law. There is some confusion in the record on that point. I think this might help to clarify it. The CHAIRMAN. Let it be filed. (The document follows.) Hon. WILLIAM LANGER, Chairman, Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION, Senate Office Building, Washington, D. C. DEAR SENATOR LANGER: I acknowledge receipt of your letter of March 20 inquiring as to the status of a report submitted on behalf of the section of international and comparative law at the February 1953 meeting of the house of delegates of the American Bar Association, dealing with Senate Joint Resolution 1, the so-called Bricker resolution. My reply thereto has been delayed by reason of the fact that your letter was addressed to me at the headquarters office of the association in Chicago and has been forwarded to me in Toledo, where I am engaged in the practice of law. In the meantime, both Mr. Frank E. Holman and Mr. Lyman M. Tondel, Jr., chairman of the section involved, have communicated with me about this matter. I am not surprised that confusion exists as to the status of this so-called section report and I shall do my best to clarify the situation. The report was not submitted to nor approved by the members of the section of international and comparative law, but was prepared by certain members of the council of the section who were present in Chicago. I am advised by the chairman of the section that the report had the approval of a majority of the 12 members of the section council. When the report was presented in the house of delegates, a point of order was made that it was improper for the house to receive it, since it did not in fact constitute a report of the section. The point of order was overruled by the chairman of the house for the reason that the report contained no resolutions or recommendations and sought no action by the house of delegates. The chairman of the house further stated, in announcing his ruling, that the report was in no way binding on the house. A motion was then adopted that the report be received and filed but that nothing therein contained shall be considered as the action of the American Bar Association. The constitution and bylaws of this association contain no provision authorizing the submission of reports to the house of delegates by section councils and I personally doubt whether the general supervisory authority and control of the affairs of a section vested in its council by the section bylaws authorizes the council to commit the section to a declaration of policy without a vote of the section members. Furthermore, article XII, section 2 of the bylaws of the association specifically provides: "No report, recommendation, or other action of any section or committee thereof, or of any committee of the association, shall be considered as the action of the association unless and until it shall have been approved or authorized by the house of delegates or by the board of governors. Any printed material containing any report, recommendation, or proposal circulated by any section or committee thereof or by any committee of the association shall have clearly indicated thereon that the same does not represent the view or action of the association, unless the house of delegates or the board of governors shall have taken approving action with respect thereto." |
