Woltz, Charles K., Preface. Acheson, Dean, [1893-1971]. Administrative Procedure in Government Agencies: Report of the Committee on Administrative Procedure, Appointed by the Attorney General, at the Request of the President, to Investigate the Need for Procedural Reform in Various Administrative Tribunals and to Suggest Improvements Therein. Charlottesville, [Va.]: University Press of Virginia, [1968]. xii, 131 pp. Original blue cloth with gilt lettered spine. Fine. Internally clean. $25. * Originally published in 1941, the report, often called the "Acheson Report" (after the committee's chairman, Dean Acheson), presented the results of a comprehensive study of the procedures used by various U.S. federal government agencies. The report investigated the need for procedural reforms within federal administrative tribunals and recommended improvements. Its recommendations and the accompanying draft bill were the primary basis for the landmark Administrative Procedure Act of 1946 (APA), which now governs the process by which most federal agencies develop and issue regulations and conduct adjudications. This edition includes a new preface by Charles K. Woltz and an index, reprinting the core text (pages 1-121) of the original 1941 Senate document. The book's core focus is the structure, powers, functions, and procedural requirements that should govern U.S. administrative agencies to ensure fairness, consistency, and public accountability.
