handle is hein.journals/infrastr4 and id is 1 raw text is: A UTILITY SECTION NEWSLETT A Periodic Report to the Members of the Section of Public Utility Law of the American Bar Association Page 1 Vol. 4 No. 1 October 1, 1963 A Periodic Report to the Members of the Section of Public Utility Law of the American Bar Association The Chairman's Statement It is with great pleasure that I exercise this privilege of addressing the member- ship, at large, of the Section of Public Utility Law since being chosen as your Chairman at the annual meeting of the Section in Chicago, August 14, 1963. To those who were unable to be present at that time, may I again repeat what I said at the meeting - that I will strive to serve as head of our Council and Section as effectively as the many distinguished members of our group who have preceded me as Chairman. This is no easy task to accomplish. I can only hope, with the help and co-operation of the Council and of the membership, that the forthcoming year will be recorded as another successful chapter in the annals of the Section. There is considerable and important work to be done. One of the things which has become more obvious to all of us, in recent years, is the increasing activity of our Section, often in co-operation with other sections, with respect to proposed congressional legislation. In former years it was only occasionally that our Coun- cil was asked to take a position with respect to recommendations for congression- al legislation. At its recent meeting during the Chicago convention of the Ameri- can Bar Association, August 11-14, 1963, the Council of the Section was asked to consider a number of such recommendations. It now finds itself on record or com- mitted to support a variety of recommendations, such as carrying out the final re- port of the Administrative Conference of the United States. Bills on this subject are now before the Congress. The representatives of your Section, in co-opera- tion with the Section of Administrative Law and the Special Committee on Legal Services and Procedure, are carrying forward the views agreed upon by your Council in support of this important administrative conference program. Else- where in this issue of the Utility Section Newsletter will be found reference to other legislative matters upon which our Council has been asked to take a position. The point I would like to make, in this message, is that with the increasing com- plexity in the developments of the law of public utility regulation, as well as with other branches of business and administrative law, our Section of Public Utility Law is being looked to for leadership and guidance more and more. We must accept this responsibility as the price of our activities in our chosen field of specialized practice. To this end, as well as carry- ing out the work of the regular and standing commit- tees of the Section, I have already announced the ap- pointment of various chairmen. I am confident that the business of the Section will be in good hands and well served by the able and enthusiastic participation of all the elected officers and Council members, as well as the appointed committees in the year which lies ahead. With best wishes and hearty greetings to all members of the Section. Cordially, GEORGE I'F.RRINr George R. Perrine, Chairman, 1963-64
