           By Mr. ISSA:
       H.R. 1702.
       Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       Article I, Section 8, clause 18 allows Congress to make all 
     laws ``which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into 
     execution'' any ``other'' powers vested by the Constitution 
     in the Government of the United States.
       <sup>*</sup>Note: According to the Supreme Court, the 
     Necessary and Proper Clause gives Congress the ``power to 
     make laws for carrying into execution all the Judgments which 
     the judicial department has power to pronounce'' (Wayman v. 
     Southard, 10 Wheat 1, 22 (1825)), and, thereby, Congress has 
     ``undoubted power to regulate the practice and procedure of 
     federal courts.'' See Sibbach v. Wilson & Co., 312 U.S. 1, 9 
     (1941).
