These claims were looked into very carefully by each Senator who served on the Claims Committee. We reported anywhere from 52 to 54 percent of all bills considered by the Senate. Added to that is the large number of immigration bills. But I point out that as to all of the small claims bills. as well as the Immigration Committees. there Is a battery of specialists. lawyers. and others receiving good salaries on the subcommittees to perform that work. In addition to the two subcommittees that report the many bills to which my good friend from Arkansas has referred. and in addition to the large number of employees who serve on the Judiciary Committee. there has been created in the Department of Justice a large battery of lawyers in order to assist this subcommittee. As I understand. there is also an Immigration Service. where many people are employed who do a great deal of work that should properly be done by subcommittees of the Judiciary Committee. If we were to add the cost to the Government of all the small claims. it would be many times more costly than the cost was prior to reorganization. I attribute that to the fact that prior to reorganization there was a special committee to handle this work.
