Concerns about H.R. 2211 and S. 1923: A Letter from Judge Ryan to Congressman James R. Jones

Letter from Congressman James R. Jones to Judge James E. Ryan regarding recent bankruptcy legislation. Jones thanks Ryan for his letter concerning the legislation, but mentions that he received it after the bill had already passed. Jones explains that he supported the legislation due to the additional judgeships it provides for Oklahoma. He acknowledges Ryan's concerns about the Trustee program under the Department of Justice and suggests that Ryan communicate his views to the conferees. Jones offers his assistance to Ryan in the future. The text also includes a letter from Judge Ryan to Jones, expressing his support for maintaining the position of Estate Administrator in the bankruptcy court and opting out of the U.S. Trustee Program. Ryan highlights the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the Estate Administrator position compared to the Trustee Program. He also mentions the importance of specialization and the positive impact of the Estate Administrator on case monitoring and liaison with the bar. Ryan urges Jones to consider his suggestions before voting on the legislation.
