I offer this amendment. perhaps. through an excess of caution. I am aware that an appropriation has already been made for clothing and subsistence for American citizens who have fled from Mexico. but we do not know how long this Mexican revolution will last. Congress is soon to adjourn. and it seems to me that in the meantime. when Congress is not in session and no appropriations can be made. the Secretary of War ought to have ample funds with which to provide subsistence and clothing for the refugees who may hereafter come over from Mexico. For that purpose I offer my amendment.
