Speech #600147783

I call the gentlemans attention to the report of the CommissionerGeneral of Immigration. which states that there are some amounts which are presumed to have been reserved out of the immigration fund. but your provision clearly appears to do away with the fund as a separate account and brings the money directly into the Treasury of the United States. Inasmuch as in good faith certain laws were enacted providing appropriations out of the immigration fund. which may not have been used. I desire to know whether the specific amounts thus appropriated will hold after the 1st of July. Of course. I did not know whether the gentleman could answer me or not.
