The amount of money we are spending at this time on private claims is approximately 50 times more than the amount so spent when we had the former Claims Committee. The resolution permitting the employment of the two additional experts and the three extra clerks was adopted because of the great amount of work placed on the committee because of the extra private claims bills. That work had nothing to do with immigration. which is treated separately. I happened to be chairman of the Committee on Claims before passage of the Reorganization Act. The record can be examined. and it will be found that the Claims Committee handled over 50 percent of the total number of bills which were passed in any Congress.
