QUESTIONNAIRE SURVEY ON DELAY IN ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS ད༽ PREPARED FOR THE COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY BY ITS SUBCOMMITTEE ON ADMINISTRATIVE PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE MAY 1966 63-734 Printed for the use of the Committee on the Judiciary FOREWORD This study is one of several that is being conducted by the Senate Subcommittee on Administrative Practice and Procedure in an attempt to discover some of the causes and cures for administrative delay. It is hoped that the subcommittee and the Administrative Conference, in time, will be able to reduce the time and cost of administrative proceedings. The subcommittee wishes to emphasize that it is not its desire to in any way embarrass or criticize the various administrative agencies. These studies are making use of new techniques and are not based upon sufficient evidence to warrant other than tentative conclusions. We believe, however, that the studies will be of particular interest and assistance to those in the various agencies who are attempting to cope with problems of delay. The subcommittee wishes to thank both those within and those outside the agencies who have been of assistance. In particular, we wish to thank Prof. Stuart Nagel of the University of Illinois, a temporary counsel on our staff, who has been in charge of the administrative delay project. It is Professor Nagel who has originated and carried through these studies. EDWARD V. LONG, Chairman, Subcommittee on Administrative Practice and Procedure. ΙΙΙ |
