The amendments are to section 1. page 1. line 8. insert after the word "States" a comma instead of a period. And after the same word insert the following: "Or by any railroad or any other transportation." It is suggested that by using the word transportation we might include all means of transportation. including steamboat. railroad. or omnibus. or whatever kind of transportation used. Then in line 12. section 1. after the word "vessel." strike out the words "or by the alien passenger if such alien passenger comes overland. within twentyfour hours after the arrival of such vessel in port or by such overland alien passenger upon application for admission" and insert in lien thereof the words "or transportation lines." This is done at the request of the Secretary of the Treasury. Then. on line 25. page 2. after the word "immigration." insert the words "under the direction or." that is to take the initiative away from the CommissionerGeneral and leave it with the Secretary of the Treasury as it is now.
