Practice question

- Every fact-finding committee is necessarily forbidden.
- Only a company accountant may investigate the dispute.
- The Secretary may never obtain technical assistance.
- The absence of an express sentence naming that committee does not itself defeat the incidental power.
- Incidental jurisdiction exists only if both parties prefer the result.
