Judy Clarke, by appointment of the Court, 470 U.S. 1048, argued the cause and filed a brief for respondent.

C. § 3161 et seq., as amended, prohibits commencement of a trial less than 30 days after arraignment on a superseding indictment; and (b) assuming a violation of the Speedy Trial Act in this case, was that error harmless?
