The purpose of the bill and a discussion of its details are set forth in a letter from the Attorney General and an office memorandum of the Department of Justice which are attached hereto, as follows: Hon. HENRY F. ASHURST, JANUARY 17, 1935. Chairman Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate. MY DEAR SENATOR: Enclosed herewith is a draft of bill to require the clerk of the United States District Court for the Canal Zone and the marshal of the Canal Zone to deposit public moneys collected by them in the Treasury of the United States or some other depositary designated by the Secretary of the Treasury, instead of depositing such moneys with the collector of the Panama Canal, as required by existing law. The present law was properly applicable when the officials of the District Court of the Canal Zone were under the supervision of the War Department. In June 1933 they were transferred to the Department of Justice by Executive order. The purpose of the bill is to prescribe the same practice for the handling of public funds by such officials as prevails in the case of other United States district courts. The pertinent details are more fully discussed in an office memorandum, a copy of which is enclosed herewith. The proposed change appears to me to be in the interest of more nearly uniform administration; and therefore I shall be glad if you will introduce and support the enclosed bill. Sincerely yours, HOMER CUMMINGS, Attorney General. |
