"If we are to take due account of the constituitonal exclusiveness of the statutory vehicle, how can we justify the use of legislative history, when it lies beyond the sweep of the one thing that a legislature has constitutional power to enact? To handle this adequately, we need a coherent theory of statutory interpretation. After eighteen years of study, I offered in 'The Interpretation and Application of Statutes' a comprehensive approach to statutory interpretation that, while satisfying some cravings, has created much academic disdain, because it fitted no existing orthodoxy and used nontraditional terminology to describe a distinction that has been strongly implied but never before systematically exploited. In the meantime, the profession remains caught in a semantic trap from which it is apparently unable to extricate itself." F. Reed Dickerson, Statutory Interpretation: Dipping Into Legislative History, 11 Hofstra L. Rev. 1125, 1127 (1983).
