Reading Room Document

Application of § 401 of Executive Order No. 11222 to the Tax Court and other Article I Courts.

The document is a memorandum discussing the applicability of section 401 of Executive Order No. 11222 to the Tax Court and the Court of Military Appeals. The conclusion reached is that the President should not require financial reports from these courts, as they have a greater degree of independence and operate in a more public manner compared to ordinary executive agencies. The document presents the question of whether financial statements should be obtained from members of these courts and proposes that the Civil Service Commission be instructed not to obtain financial statements from the members of these courts.
