In view of the difficulty of obtaining the services of a salaried court reporter in Lands Commissioner cases, and because Department appropriations may not be used for additional reporters, the Director of AOUSC has advised that, in special cases when the salaried court reporter is unavailable to report these hearings, it will authorize the appointment of a temporary court reporter for that purpose. In such cases, the United States Attorney should request that the judge secure authority for appointment from AOUSC.
