ii/Mum •r ***»»* several %ta»e control measures being Qontidered by the Congress the current controversy g T «r preventive detention provisions 'contained therein yoently caused me to intro duce a bill to attack the prob |ms caused* by delayed crim- W trials by requiring that fcrsoos charged with offenses the United States *■« fc«ve a speedy trial as y«nteed by the Sixth Amendment. > In introducing the “Speedy Trial Act of 1870,” I recognize Shat preventive detention, y»ich I abhor, is a reaction fc the steadily worsening abil. ity of our criminal justice yrtem to cope with the de *n«uls placed upon it In the »®dem era. Greater num bera of defendant*, greater rates of .crime, longer delays fa trial and appeal, assembly line justice, inadequate staff ibg of courts and supporting (Personnel, and a tragic and disgraceful corrections sys tem—these are among the serious difficulties which be set our criminal justice sys tem. i ®rr my judgment, however, detention will not eure the ills besetting our ju dicial system. What it will do Is paper over the decay of the courts, and hide ills which must be remedied. It will enable us to operate much as we have in the pest, because the fruits erf this crisis will be hidden from our eyes. .De fendants will languish unseen fir jails awaiting trials that will be ever longer in com fif if we continue our fail ure to face the true problems #nd to propose serious means solve them. If we adopt preventive detention as the panacea, I fear that we will b*ve yet another excuse to ignore the hard work that snust be done to reform our courts. All the manifestations of our failures—delayed trials, <he pretrial crime those de lays foster, injustice to citi ■*ens, and disrespect of the law will be hidden from i view.

DAVIS & CO. - JEWELERS ** ”• W•» ewnewnewr^ 11 What we must face is the fact that our criminal justice system is breaking down. In my judgment, this breakdown will get worse if we institute new repressive devices which do violence to constitutional principles and which will eventually burden the system even more. Instead, we should do what is constitu tionally required. We must implement the Sixth Amend ment right to a speedy trial— a right thus far denied to so ciety and the defendant—and make that amendment guar antee a reality after all these years. ity bill would require each federal district court to set trials within 60 days of the date ot an indictment or in formation. Delays in trial would be permitted only when required by other pro ceedings involving the defend ant or those absolutely neces sary for the holding of a fair trial. It would bar delays caused \yy inadequate judicial resources, and it would strongly discourage procras tination by counsel. liy bill also requires each district court to establish plans for the implementation of the speedy trial require ments of die legislation and the Sixth Amendment, and to report to Congress concerning the funds and personnel need ed to implement the speedy trial requirements. Hhus, if my bill is adopted, it will require for the first time that the executive and judicial branches make a comprehensive assessment of their resources and their re quirements for an efficiently functioning criminal justice system. Congress can then determine the resources ne cessary to achieve a well-run, modem judicial system one which can effectively perform its function of punishing and rehabilitating law breakers and deterring crime. I have urged the Justice Department and witnesses tes tifying before the Senate Sub committee on Constitutional Rights, which is conducting hearings on preventive deten tion, to study my reform measure in the hope that .it will lead to acceptable solu iiotfs'« f&*iSe •“Si&nfensis 1 ' prob-- UtoMkWfiwftifas* u» iiTtoe ad-’ ministration of criminal jus tice.
