Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * [T]he construction of a statute by an agency charged with its administration is given deference and entitled to great weight. Udail v. Tallman, 380 U.S. 1 [ 85 S.Ct. 792 , 13 L.Ed.2d 616 ] (1965); Bowles v. Seminole Rock Co., 325 U.S. 410 [ 65 S.Ct. 1215 , 89 L.Ed. 1700 ] (1945); Crawford v. United States, 179 Ct.Cl. 128 , 142-43, 376 F.2d 266 , 274 (1967), cert. denied, 389 U.S. 1041 [ 88 S.Ct. 781 , 19 L.Ed.2d 831 ] (1968). Moreover, the passage of time increases the assumption that Congress is aware of the agency interpretation of a statute and concurs in it, since no subsequent legislation has altered it. Benton v. United States, 203 Ct.Cl. 263 , 488 F.2d 1017 (1973); Alabama v. United States, 198 Ct.Cl. 683 , 461 F.2d 1324 , cert. denied, 409 U.S. 1023 [ 93 S.Ct. 464 , 34 L.Ed.2d 315 ] (1972). * * * »”
