An argument which was raised time and time
again in the committee was that the attorney general's
office was a good training ground for governors. It was
also suggested if we listened hard enough we might hear
a party call, but I think the wisdom of the individuals
involved has been such that there has been none; but even
if there were, President Kennedy once said, "Sometimes
party loyalty demands too much."
My second point relates to a realistic apprais-
al of the 'current situation. Great stress is made about
the efficacy, about the important decisions of the attorney
general.
It seems to me that this is where the problem
is. In the day-to-day operations of the executive depart-
ment there are many problems, and most sticky problems
are legal problems, and we have a situation where the
department head must turn to an employee who is not his
to give him some advice, and then he is bound by it;
so with these fingers reaching down into these various
departments, you have dual leadership with respect to the
key issues.
