Chairman. as I said a moment ago. of all the good works of this administration there is none for which it is more entitled to the gratitude of the American people than for keeping down appropriations. I have in mind another reason for gratitude on the part of the American people. gratitude for the fact that we have in the White House a President so highminded and patriotic that his own personal and political fortunes never enter his mind in connection with the discharge of a public duty. We passed an appropriation this morning by unanimous consent for the transportation of refugees from the Mexican border. For a year or more we have had a condition down there on the border wellnigh intolerable. Our sympathies as individuals go out and our hearts bleed for those of our own people who are subjected to the inevitable hardships. dangers. and suffering that comes from civil war.
