Of course. these statistics cannot give an accurate picture of the major accomplishments of this committee. For example. the enactment into public law of the Civil Rights Act of 1960 occasioned intensive activity and can certainly be cited as one of the most significant enactments of the 86th Congress. Also. the enactment of many liberal immigration measures. which are set forth in the detailed analysis. is a major accomplishment for both this committee and the Congress. I point to the constitutional amendment granting suffrage to the residents of the District of Columbia. and to the many bills enacted into law which will serve to relieve court congestion as among those major achievements of the committee and the 86th Congress. The streamlining of the operation of the bankruptcy court was accomplished by the enactment of close to a dozen bills in the bankruptcy area.
