It should be enough that the Department of Justice with its thousands of employees and hundreds upon hundreds of lawyers is entitled to represent the Government of the United States against someone charged with a violation of the antitrust laws. But this bill would give the new Consmner Protection Agency equal rights with the Department of Justice to hammer on the defendant or to force the Department of Justice to hammer where the Department had decided it had no case. Indeed. it would even give the new Consumer Protection Agency the right to ask the court to reverse the Department of Justice decision in an immigration case. Should those who enter our borders illegally be entitled to stay because their presence benefits the consumers through low labor costs? The Consumer Protection Agency might say so in a deportation case. Should electric utility rates be reduced to consumers even though the Federal Power Commission has determined that it will mean inadequate revenues to supply necessary power to the people of this country? This bill would give the Consuner Protection Agency the right to take that position and even the right to ask a court to reverse the Federal Power Commission for protecting the longterm interests of all the people. of our children and their children. in the benefits of electric and other sources of power.
