 As the Hoffa hearings occurred in August 1957 , the Select Committee met in executive session to restructure its organizations and set its agenda for the future . The Select Committee had succeeded in securing the removal of Beck as Teamsters president and seemed on the verge of sending Jimmy Hoffa to jail as well , but the Committee had also been strongly criticized for its handling of witnesses and its apparent one @-@ sidedness in exposing union but not management corruption . To guide the Select Committee 's investigations in the future , McClellan established a set of 11 areas of investigation for the committee , nine of which involved labor misdeeds and only one of which involved management misbehavior ( preventing workers from organizing unions ) . The management @-@ oriented area came last on the committee 's list of priorities , and there were no staff assigned to investigate the issue .
