                COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY

                  UNITED STATES-SENATE

                         ON THE

           UIMPLEMENTATION OF THE TIME FRAMES
           LEGISLATED IN THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT

                         OF 19741


Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:

     It's a pleasure to be here today to testify on the

results of our review of the implementation of Title I

of the Speedy Trial Act of 1974. As you know, the act

represents an effort by Congress to address the problem of

delays in the handling of Federal criminal cases. The

act established uniform time frames that generally must be

followed by Federal district courts in processing criminal

cases. The Congress recognized that problems might develop

with statutory time frames and therefore gave the criminal

justice system over 4 years to prepare for the Speedy Trial

Act's full implementation.
