Work Of 'Little Congresses'

A'box SvCore kept of the congressional reorganization ict by;; Representative Monroney of Oklahoma, one of its ;ponsors, shows that the Eightieth Congress virtually iglored its recommendations for tightening and improving fiscontrol. But real progress was made through reducing he number of committees and streamlining their functions. Iiv' this period between sessions it is highly desirable that :itizens become familiar with what has keen done under that jrogram and with the possibilities of improvement. For the rogram is still new it was passed in the closing hours of he Seventy-ninth Congress with LaFollette of Wisconsin as

ts Senate sponsor and did not become effective until last'

ranuaiy. With public encouragement, Congress may make its ipplication broader and more effective in 1948. For more than 100 years congressional committee organization had developed, without plan or reason, into a 'sprawling, overlapping, duplicating" structure. Committees ilmost never folded up ; they had to be killed, and Congress vas reluctant to wield the ax. Chief reason for this reluc;ance was that each committee chairman offered prestige and )ower to some veteran member of the dominant party. Each ittle leader was jealous of his prerogatives, seldom willing ;o co-operate with others performing similar functions, i -Indicting this planless structure in 1884, young Woodcw Wilson wrote: "Power is nowhere concentrated; it is atheK deliberately andof set policy scattered amongst many small thiefs . . We are ruled by a score and a half of 'little egislatures.' Our legislation is conglomerate, not homogene)us. ... . Only a very small part of most important business :an be done well; the system provides for having the rest of t done miserably, and the whole of it taken together done it haphazard." But the Eightieth Congress finally brought a considerable degree of order out of that chaos. The standing comnittees were reduced from 48 to 19 in the House and from 53 to 15 in the Senate. As Mr. Monroney comments, "Despite Me creation of numerous subcommittees, this phase of reorganization, marks a major achievement." To illustrate, in-stead-of seven minor committees dividing up the public works" program, one committee on public works now handles it. Under this change the output of the. 1947 session was more than double that in 1945, during the first session of the Seventy-ninthyQongrSS. A total of 1;790 billsjyas passed this year as compared with 857 passed two years ago. But in pointing out that the standing committees constitute . "little Congresses" a variant of Wilson's characterizationRepresentative Monroney invites attention to a continuing weakness. No matter how thoroughly a committee may do its work, other members of Congress are called upon to approve measures with insufficient information and often without adequate debate on the House or Senate floor. This is due partly to the fact that efforts to expedite and improve bill drafting "methods another objective of the reorganization program were only partially successful. This project resembles the legislative councils established in a number of states, in which lawmakers "have the help of expert advisers. "Experience through trial and error should improve this situation," Mr. Monroney comments.
