I desire to ask unanimous consent for an agreement that the unfinished business. the immigration bill. be temporarily laid aside when the Senate convenes on Monday for the purpose of taking up the bill to provide for the Twelfth and subsequent censuses. It is important that that bill should be passed at the earliest practicable date because of the provision it contains looking to subsequent action during the present session perfecting legislation for the purpose of taking the census. I conceive that the bill can be disposed of on Monday. if not. it certainly can be on Tuesday. but I will suggest to the Senator from Massachusetts that if it becomes obvious on Tuesdaythat the bill will involve a protracted discussion. it can after Tuesday be laid aside and the regular order of business thereafter be proceeded with.
