The Chair desires to make a statement to the House about a ruling he made the other day. When the question was on passing the immigration bill over the Presidents veto the Chair ordered the Clerk to read the bill. The gentleman from Wisconsin [Mr. LENR"oor] raised the point of order that it was not necessary to read the bill. The Chair overruled the point of order and had the bill read. On mature reflection the Chair has concluded that his ruling was wrong. and he makes this statement now so that that ruling will not be taken as a precedent. either by the present occupant of the chair or by any of his successors in office.
