Gentlemen, we meet today pursuant to the appointment of the Honorable Graham A. Barden, chairman of the House Committee on Education and Labor, as evidenced by a letter from the Honorable Graham A. Barden addressed to me dated February 10, 1956, in which he said: By virtue of the authority vested in me as chairman of the House Committee on Education and Labor, I hereby appoint you as chairman of a subcommittee to hold hearings and consider the bills, H. R. 209, H. R. 4478, H. R. 9129, and H. R. 9144, and such other bills as may come to the attention of the subcommittee dealing with the application of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to Guam, American Samoa, or Wake Island. After completion of your consideration of this matter, you should report your recommendations for consideration to the full committee. The following members of the committee will serve with you on this subcommittee: Hon. Phil M. Landrum, Hon. Earl Chudoff, Hon. James Roosevelt, Hon. Joe Holt, Hon. Sam Coon, and Hon. Orvin B. Fjare. Sincerely yours, GRAHAM A. BARDEN, Chairman. Now our subcommittee has met in executive session and in that executive session we have determined that the scope of our inquiry shall first be limited to American Samoa; and secondly, that we will hear witnesses beginning now who are interested in the subject of American Samoa; and thirdly, that our hearings will go over from today when we have finished today, to 10 o'clock on Friday, February 17. At that time there will be heard representatives of the Department of Defense, the Department of Interior, and the Department of Labor. Now, it is contemplated that we may be in session a considerable portion of the day, Friday. We will begin at 10 o'clock. It depends on how long it takes us to finish. |
