Speech #510212248

The bill reported from the committee by the gentleman from Indiana . the chairman. provides in its sections for the exclusion of about the same classes of people which the bill reported from the Judiciary Committee excludes. And let meexplain here. Mr. Chairman. for some may not understand how it is that a bill coveringthis subject comes before the House from two different committees. The Judiciary bill. No. 58. was introduced by myself at the meeting of this Congress. and referred to the Judiciary Committee before the Special Committee on Immigration and Naturalization had any existence. before the adoption of the rules which provided for the raising of that committee. The bill not onlycontains provisions for the regulationof immigration. but also for the amendment of the naturalization laws.
