 After the Select Committee 's mandate expired , Senator McClellan and others advocated that the Senate expand the jurisdiction of one or more committees not only to provide oversight of the new labor law but also to continue the Senate 's investigations into organized crime . McClellan originally sought jurisdiction for his own Committee on Government Operations , but members of his committee balked at the request . However , McClellan was able to convince the full Senate to impose jurisdiction on Government Operations , and the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations began making inquiries into matters pertaining to syndicated or organized crime .
