he has refused TO perform ever since tht
opening of the extra session, in open dis
regard and violation of plain rule OF
procedure of the House. The right Of
the Speaker to decline to appoint these
committees and so paralyze one branch OF
Congress has been the subject OF several
bitter contentious on the floor of the House
in which Mr Reed has been confronted not
