PEPOIR BY THE


Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES


Congress Should Clarify The

Speedy Trial Act To Resolve

Differing Interpretations


3ompliance with the Speedy Trial Act has in-
:reased steadily over the past 4 years. Ninety-
iix percent of the criminal cases handled by
11 Federal district courts during the last 6
months of 1979 were processed within the
act's 100-day time limit.

'roblems still exist, however, in interpreting
)nd applying some sections of the act. As a re-
;ult of some of these differing interpretations,
future criminal cases might be inappropriately
i smissed.
3AO recommends that the Congress amend
the Speedy Trial Act to clarify those sections
at issue.
