The intention of the rule is to allow the committee 15 days to consider the bill. This rule is a stringent one. and to discharge a committee under it is a reflection on the committee for tardiness of action. To say that the 15 days notice should begin to run before a committee is in existence would work gross injustice upon such committee. This motion was placed on the Discharge Calendar 8 days after the organization of the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. and. in the opinion of the Chair. was prematurely placed thereon. Therefore. the Chair is compelled to sustain the point of order.
