Most-quoted passages

“District Court -is a more appropriate place than the Court of Appeals for these cases since they may involve additional fact-finding. Furthermore, dis crimination complaints involving employees outside the Federal government are now considered by U.S. District Courts. To encourage uniformity in judicial decisions in this area both kinds of cases should continue to be considered by the U.S. District Court.”
