The words ``The Attorney General . . . shall report'' are
substituted for ``It shall be the duty of the Attorney General to make .
. . a report''. The word ``beginning'' is substituted for
``commencement''. The words ``pertaining to the Department that he
considers proper'' are substituted for ``appertaining thereto that he
may deem proper''.
The words ``and a detailed statement of the amounts used for
defraying the expenses of the United States courts in each judicial
district'' are omitted as obsolete in view of the creation of the
Administrative Office of the United States Courts by the Act of Aug. 7,
1939, ch. 501, Sec. 1, 53 Stat. 1223 (Chapter 41 of this title).
In paragraph (3), the words ``involving the United States'' are
inserted for clarity. The function of reporting on all cases pending in
the United States courts is now vested in the Administrative Office of
the United States Courts, see 28 U.S.C. 604.
