subsequently said: A few minutes ago I entered a motion to reconsider the vote by which the sundry civil bill was passed. because in my absence last night. and in the absence of other members of the Committee on Immigration. an amendment was made to that bill. relating to the subject of immigration. changing the existing law very vitally. without any notice whatever to my committee or without any knowledge on our part that such an amendment was contemplated. I entered a motion to reconsider in order that I might. if possible. get the bill back here * and have the amendment stricken out. I have received. however. assurances that the amendment will be abandoned in conference. and on that understanding I desire to withdraw the motion to reconsider.
