I will limit my comments to the issue of the legislative veto. as it is certainly on the minds of many people today. especially regulators such as myself and you as members of the legislative branch. When first contacted on the day the U.S. Supreme Court decision was announced in Immigration and Naturalization Service v. Chadha et al (Slip Opinion No. 801832. decided June 23. 1983). I said then in response to a media inquiry and will repeat that ".. to the extent that Congress more accurately reflects the mood of the American people than the regulators. the review that has been eliminated [i.e.. the legislative veto] is one that I feel was a very important balance and restraint on regulation." I also stated that. with the elimination of this additional review of the regulators action and the resulting increase in power granted to us. our level of responsibility increases as well.
