A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY
ENDORSING H.R. 8231 AND H.R. 9801, WHICH WOULD ESTABLISH
A METHOD WHEREBY CONGRESS MAY PREVENT THE ADOPTION OF RULES
AND REGULATIONS WHICH ARE CONTRARY TO LAW, INCONSISTENT
WITH CONGRESSIONAL INTENT, OR WHICH GO BEYOND THE MANDATE OF
THE LEGISLATION THEY ARE DESIGNED TO IMPLEMENT
WHEREAS, regulations set up in the Federal Register by federal
administrative departments for implementation of laws passed by the
Congress of the United States have produced such a huge amount of forms,
procedures, and regulations which add a tremendous amount of expense,
delay, and confusion for local agencies in attempting to comply with
these many regulations; and
WHEREAS, it appears that many of these rules and regulations
may go far afield from the original intent of Congress;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the City Council of the City of Downey hereby
goes on record in support of H.R. 8231 and H.R. 9801 which would establish
a method whereby Congress may prevent the adoption by the Executive Branch
of rules or regulations which are contrary to law, or inconsistent with
Congressional intent, or which go beyond the mandate of the legislation
which they are designed to implement.
SECTION 2. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this
Resolution and forward copies to Senators Cranston and Tunney; Congressman
Del Clawson; Congressman Peter W. Rodino, Jr., Chairman of the House
Judiciary Committee; Congressman Ray J. Madden, Chairman of the House Rules
Committee; and the League of California Cities.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 8th day of December, 1975.
