## Opinion text

Mr. Justice Stewart,
with whom The Chief Justice joins, concurring in part.
For the reasons expressed by Mr. Justice Brennan, I join the opinion of the Court insofar as it holds that the District Court had jurisdiction to entertain the petitioner’s suit and should have granted him the injunction he sought. I do not, however, join the Court’s opinion insofar as it holds that the delinquency regulations have not been authorized by Congress. See Gutknecht v. United States, ante, p. 314 (concurring in judgment).
