Excerpt from 77th Annual Report of the Interstate Commerce Commission: Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1963 This Commission entered the 1960's confronted with an expanding backlog Of proceedings requiring decision and a workload so unwieldy that the regulatory process was in danger of becoming a barrier to progress of for-hire carriage, instead of serving the public interest by encouraging its advancement. A restructuring of the Commission's organization and streamlining Of its procedures were clearly necessary to meet these challenges. A reorganization in depth was effected in 1961 and has been continuously updated. Procedures were modified to permit staff level boards to decide issues of routine and minor significance.
