A survey of the statute books from 1939 through 1954 reveals few instances of congressional employment of the device of the concurrent resolution so thoughtfully included in delegatory statutes. However, the _Congressional Record_ for the same period bears evidence of repeated effort on the part of members of the legislature to influence the administration of delegatory statutes through concurrent or, in some instances, the simple resolution. _Terminating Powers:_ Legislative efforts to terminate statutes by concurrent resolution prove anticlimactic in view of the many instances in which the power to accomplish this was included in the delegatory statute. The statute which provoked the most vigorous and persistent effort at termination by concurrent resolution was that of January 20, 1942, establishing daylight saving time.[634] From 1943 through 1945 some twenty-four concurrent resolutions were introduced to terminate the effect of the Daylight Savings Act.[635] None of these concurrent resolutions survived committee screening. In 1941 a House concurrent resolution abrogating the authority of the President to provide aid to Russia under the Lend-Lease Act died in the Foreign Relations Committee.[636] The appropriate provision of the Lend-Lease Act provided in general terms for termination of the lend-lease authority upon adoption of a concurrent resolution by both Houses.[637] The Act did not provide for suspension by concurrent resolution of authority to aid specified countries and the resolution probably sought to exercise a power which Congress had not reserved to itself in the Act. Pressure to terminate war controls intensified following the September 2, 1945, signing of the Japanese instrument of surrender. On September 14, House Concurrent Resolution 84 was introduced, “to terminate the effectiveness of certain provisions of the Second War Power Act, 1942.” Section 1501 of the Act provided for termination of certain of the Titles of the Act by concurrent resolution.[638] The resolution did not emerge from the Judiciary Committee, to which it was referred. Another unsuccessful effort was made to invoke the concurrent resolution provisions of the Act two years later.[639] The year following termination of hostilities saw a short-lived effort to terminate by concurrent resolution a statute which did not incorporate provision to this effect.[640] Some ten additional concurrent resolutions were introduced in the two years succeeding 1945, the effect of which would have been formal termination of the state of hostilities to which the lives of various statutes had been hinged.[641] None of the resolutions emerged from committee.
