I transmit herewith a communication from the Civil Service Commission submitting draft of proposed legislation providing that any member of the United States Civil Service Commission, or any officer, examiner, clerk, employee, or other representative thereof lawfully detailed to investigate frauds or attempts to defraud the Government, or any irregularity or misconduct of any officer or agent of the United States, shall have authority to administer an oath to any witness attending to testify or depose in the course of such investigation.

The proposed legislation has my hearty approval and I commend it to the careful consideration of the Congress.
