I desire. for the information of my friend from Massachusetts and the House. to read the rule which has reference to this matter: When a bill comes back with Senate amendments requiring consideration in Committee of the Whole. the bill and amendments thereupon are - referred to the committee having jurisdiction of the subject. If the Senate accompany their amendments with a request for a conference. this endows the bill with privilege in all its subsequent stages. Consequently. if you refer this bill to the Committee on Immigration. it retains its privileged character. according to this rule. in my judgment. -
