LETTER OF SUBMISSION

INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMITTEE FOR THE STUDY OF
JURISDICTION OVER FEDERAL AREAS WITHIN THE STATES,

APRIL 25, 1956




DEAR MR. ATTORNEY GENERAL: The Committee has completed its studies of the factual aspects of legislative jurisdiction over Federal areas within the several States, and of the Federal and State laws relating thereto, and herewith submits for your consideration and for transmission to the President its report subtitled "Part I. the Facts and Committee Recommendations." Part II of the Committee's report will be completed within the next several months. It will be a text of the law on the subject of legislative jurisdiction, particularly covering judicial decisions and rulings of legal officers of administrative agencies concerning the subject. It is the view of the Committee that the two mentioned parts of the report are sufficiently different in their contents and purposes that they may issue separately.

Respectfully submitted,

Assistant Attorney General (Chairman).

General Services Administration (Secretary).
MAXWELL H. ELLIOTT,
