TABLE 12.-Summary of actions instituted against the Commission, petitions for review of Commission orders, cases in which the Commission participated as intervenor or amicus curiae, and reorganization cases under Chapter X in which the Commission participated on appeal

TABLE 13.—A 32-year summary of criminal cases developed by the Commission— 1984 through 1965 by fiscal year1

[See table 14 for classification of defendants as broker-dealers, etc.]

1 The flures given for each year reflect actions taken and the status of cases as of the end of the most recent fiscal year with respect to cases referred to the Department of Justice during the year specified. For example, convictions obtained in fiscal 1965 with respect to cases referred during fiscal 1964 are included under fiscal 1964. While the table shows only 3 convictions under 1965, the total number of convictions for cases referred during that year and prior years was 106, as noted in the text of this report.

2 The number of defendants in a case is sometimes increased by the Department of Justice over the number against whom prosecution was recommended by the Commission. Also more than one indictment may result from a single reference.

3 See Table 10 for breakdown of pending cases.

Thirty-five of these references involving 116 proposed defendants, and 18 prior references involving 89 proposed defendants, were still being processed by the Department of Justice as of the close of the fiscal year. $779 of these cases have been completed as to 1 or more defendants. Convictions have been obtained in 629 or 81 percent of such cases. Only 150 or 19 percent of such cases have resulted in acquittals or dismissals as to all defendants; this includes numerous cases in which indictments were dismissed without trial because of the death of defendants or for other administrative reasons. See note 5, infra.

Includes 80 defendants who died after indictment.

TABLE 15.—A 32-year summary of all injunction cases instituted by the Commission-1934 to June 30, 1965, by calendar year

Includes (a) actions dismissed (as to 798 defendants); (b) actions discontinued, abated, abandoned, stipulated or settled (as to 67 defendants); (c) actions in which judgment was denied (as to 39 defendants); (d) actions in which prosecution was stayed on stipulation to discontinue misconduct charged (as to 4 defendants).
