Speech #620234647

The gentleman is twice mistaken. and I make the stlatement that the Kindred bill is line for line and sentence for sentence that of section 9 of the Dillingham bill. and. if it will accommodate the gentleman. the socalled Dillingham bill. containing the legislation recommended by the Immigration Commission. and also introduced in the House and referred to the gentlemans committee early in January. was reported to the Senate and considered there and great progress made on it two months before the Kindred bill was reported to the House. If it will accommodate the gentleman. although I do not know it is so. I will say that the House bill was reported two months before the Dillingham bill passed the Senate. I am willing to say that. if it will accommodate the gentleman. although I do not concede the fact. And in turn I want the gentleman to concede the indisputable fact that the bill he calls the Kindred bill was not introduced in the House until long after the Dillingham bill was reported to the Senate and favorable action on it was practically assured. and that it appears on its face to be simply a slice of section 9 of the Dillingham bill. which is 39 sections long. Not only that. but that practically every other one of the several bills reported by the House Committee on Immigration are a section or sections of the Dillingham bill word for word.
