4 On petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the

District of Columbia Circuit.

5 PER CURIAM.

6 The petition for writ of certiorari is granted. In view of the representations inthe Solicitor General's brief on pages 7 and 8, concerning testimony given

 before the Subcommittee of Legislative Oversight of the House Committee on

Interstate and Foreign Commerce subsequent to the decision by the Court of 

8/17/2019 Sangamon Valley Corp. v. United States, 358 U.S. 49 (1958)

Appeals in this case, the judgment of the Court of Appeals is vacated and the

case is remanded to the Court of Appeals for such action as it may deem

appropriate.

7 Mr. Justice CLARK and Mr. Justice HARLAN dissent. The matters referred to

 by the Court were not presented in the Court of Appeals and are not presented

 by this petition. Agreeing with the Solicitor General that denial of the petitionfor writ of certiorari would not foreclose appropriate consideration thereof by

the Court of Appeals, we see no reason for vacating the Court of Appeals'

 judgments and, therefore, dissent from this disposition of the matter by the

Court.
