Mr. MCCLELLAN, from the Committee on Expenditures in the

REPORT
together with the
INDIVIDUAL VIEWS OF MR. BENTON
[To accompany S. Res. 259]
The Committee on Expenditures in the Executive Departments, to
whom was referred Senate Resolution 259, expressing disapproval of
Reorganization Plan No. 5 of 1950, report the resolution without
recommendation. The effect of the adoption of the resolution will be
to prevent Reorganization Plan No. 5 of 1950 from becoming effective.
The committee took this action upon Senate Resolution 259 in
executive session on May 9, 1950, by a vote of 7 to 4, with two
members abstaining.

committee wishes to stress the fact that this action is in no way to be

opposed to recommendations made by the Hoover Commission in
connection with reorganizations in the Department of Commerce.
Because of the significance of the proposals and the contentions made
at the hearings before the committee regarding the serious implica-
tions involved in the transfer of the judicial functions of the Patent
Office to the Secretary of Commerce, the committee desires to present
the facts herein impartially for the determination of the Senate.
Under the provisions of the Reorganization Act of 1949, approved
June 20, 1949 (Public Law 109, 81st Cong.), this plan will take effect
upon the expiration of 60 calendar days of continuous session of
Congress after the plan is transmitted, unless by affirmative vote by
a majority of the authorized membership of either of the two Houses
a resolution of disapproval is passed, stating in substance that that](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.congrec/rnpnnvpg0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
