Description
-
A statement, annotated by Jack Brooks, discussing the problems associated with two year terms for Representatives in Congress. It proposes a four year term instead. Due to congressional redistricting caused by the 1965 Martin v. Bush Supreme Court ruling, Brooks went from representing 416,000 people in the 2nd district to representing 457,000 people in the 9th district. He explicitly references this change in an annotation next to a paragraph regarding the increased responsibilities of Representatives due to population growth.

Description
-
News release about Jack Brooks introducing legislation, H.R. 811, to reauthorize the Independent Counsel provisions of the Ethics in Government Act for five years, allowing the Attorney General to appoint prosecutors outside of the Justice Department to handle criminal cases involving high-level Federal officials. The original legislation was inspired by the "Saturday Night Massacre" during the Watergate scandal, and was reauthorized twice during the Reagan Administration, but expired due to filibuster threat by Senate Republicans. Brooks criticizes former Attorney General [Barr] for his refusal to use Independent Counsel in the past, including during the INSLAW investigation, when there were allegations of criminal conspiracy by Justice officials documented by two Federal Courts.
