This was at the request of his Tennessee GOP colleague [[Brazilla Carroll Reece]], who found the committee's report in the previous Congress to have been insufficient and sought a more thorough investigation. The resolution passed, and the committee during the same congressional session became known as the '''[[Reece Committee]]'''.
