THOMSEN CHAIRMAN OF AOVI9ORY COMMITTZ CHAIRMAN WALTER R. MANSFIELD CIVIL RULZ* WALTER E. HOFFMAN JOSEPH F. SPANIOL, JR. CRIMINAL RULA. ECRITARY ROBERT A. AINSWOFITH. JR. APPE LATE RULES June 14, 1979 To: Judge Roszel C. Thomsen, Chairman, and Members of the Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure From: Walter R. Mansfield, Chairman, Advisory Committee on Civil Rules On June 6, 1979, Joseph F. Spaniol sent you a copy of our Committee's Final Draft of Proposed Amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, dealing principally with discovery. Except for a few proposals unrelated to discovery, the Draft represents the end-product of our rather extensive review of the subject of discovery abuse. Judge Thomsen and Professor Ward are fully familiar with the nature and extent of our study. In the course of our deliberations we considered but eventually withdrew various other proposals, some after they were submitted to yourselves and circulated to the bench and bar for comment. Since the Final Draft does not contai' any comment or discussion with respect to these other proposals our Committee believes that it would be helpful to members. of the Standing Committee to have this informal . ia!,ry of the background of our final recommendations and ti1 -easons for withdrawing or limiting some of the earlier proposals. That is the purpose of this memorandum. Of course, some members of the Advisory Committee may have relied on different reasons
