In 1949. the Supreme Court of the United States had before it the case of Wong Yang Sung against McGrath. which is reported in volume 339. beginning at page 33. of the official reports of the Supreme Court. where the Justice dealt with this subject. The Court spoke of the fact that this had been a problem which. prior to the enactment of the EEOC bill. had given our Government much concern. and President Roosevelt had appointed a distinguished Committee to study this business of uniting in one Federal agency the duty of enforcing the law and determining whether that law has been violated. Justice Jackson. who wrote the opinion invalidating the procedures of the administrative board of the immigration authorities which united all these functions in the same agency. said this. on page 38: President Roosevelts Committee on Administrative Management in 19371 recommended complete separation of adjudicating functions and personnel from those having to do with investigation or prosecution. Now. the Senator will note that the decision in this case recommended not only divorcing the functions of those who judge the matter from those of the prosecuting attorney. but also from that of the investigator. and this amendment leaves the investigating powers and duties of the Commission untouched. does it not?
