MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Adams v. Weinberger, 521 F.2d 656 (2nd Cir. 1975):

It is by now well settled that the Secretary's findings of fact may not be disturbed on review unless not supported by "substantial evidence," but that his legal conclusions based upon those facts are reviewable in their entirety. Herbst v. Finch, 473 F.2d 771 (2 Cir., 1972).
