Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     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. Our report was issued on

May 2, 1979, and I have attached a copy of our report digest.

(See attachment V.)

     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 pro-

cessing 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.
