As it bears upon the matter concerning which the Senator interrogates me. I will read it to him: On page 24. section 26. add at the end of the section the following: " Provided. That nothing in this section or in this act shall be construed to prevent the Secretary of the Treasury from arranging from time to time. and it shall be his duty so to arrange. in accordance with existing contracts with railroad and steamship lines in foreign contiguous territory. or in accordance with such contracts as he may enter into in the future with such or other transportation hunes. for the examination and payment of head tax of aliens landing in ports in said foreign contiguous territory and destined for the United States. such examination to be held at such ports or places in said foreign contiguous territory as the Secretary of the Treasury may designate. Such examination shall. in the srin o the Secretary of the Treasury. dispense with the necessity for further examination at Umted States border ports under this act." I think that meets the Senators difficulty.
