HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Secs. 244, 248, 283a and 289

(Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 231, Secs. 139, 143, 183, 36 Stat. 1136, 1142;

June 10, 1921, ch. 18, Secs. 301, 302, 310, 42 Stat. 23, 25, Mar.

3, 1933, ch. 212, title II, Sec. 19, 47 Stat. 1519; May 10, 1934,

ch. 277, Sec. 512(b), 48 Stat. 759).

This section consolidates a part of sections 244 and 248 with

sections 283a and 289, all of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed.

Provisions in section 248 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., for

distribution by the clerk of copies of the court's decisions is

incorporated in section 415 of this title.

Certain provisions of section 244 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed.,

relating to the bailiff and the chief messenger of the Court of

Claims, and powers and duties of the clerk, his deputies and

assistants, are incorporated in sections 795 and 956 of this title.

A provision in section 244 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed.,

relating to the oath of the clerk of such court was omitted as

covered by section 951 of this title.

Word "clerk" was substituted for "chief clerk" to harmonize with

such designation of clerks of all other courts.

Provision that such officers shall be under the direction of the

court in the performance of their duties was omitted as

superfluous.

Provision in section 244 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., that the

clerk and assistant shall be subject to removal by the Court was

substituted for the grounds of misconduct or incapacity. This

change is in harmony with like provisions as to the clerks of other

courts.

Section 289 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., required the Attorney

General to duplicate the reporting to Congress of judgments which

are furnished by the clerk. The revised section eliminates such

duplication by requiring the clerk to transmit the information to

Congress.

Words "Director of the Administrative Office of the United States

Courts" were substituted for "Attorney General," in view of the act

of August 7, 1939, ch. 501, Sec. 6, 53 Stat. 1226, 28 U.S.C., 1940

ed., following Sec. 446.

As revised, this section is consistent with similar provisions as

to clerks of district courts and the courts of appeals in chapters

47 and 49 of this title.

Changes in phraseology were made.

AMENDMENTS

1992 - Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 102-572 substituted "United States

Court of Federal Claims" for "United States Claims Court".

1982 - Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 97-164 substituted "The United States

Claims Court may appoint a clerk, who shall be subject to removal

by the court" for "The Court of Claims may appoint a clerk and an

assistant clerk, each of whom shall be subject to removal by the

court" and "The clerk, with the approval of the court, may appoint

necessary deputies and employees in such numbers as may be approved

by the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States

Courts. Such deputies and employees shall be subject to removal by

the clerk with the approval of the court" for "The court shall

report any such removal and the cause thereof to Congress as soon

as possible".

use facilities and hold court in Washington, District of Columbia,

and throughout the United States (including its territories and

possessions) as necessary for compliance with sections 173 and
