Speaker. that the position taken by the gentleman from Texas iS not tenable. If his proposition goes through and this request to print the hearings is not granted. then this House is in entire ignorance of what transpired before the committee. and in ignorance of the evidence adduced upon which the committee is supposed to have prepared this bill. One of the reasons why I asked the chairman of the Committee on Immigration to incorporate this provision in his motion was that this House. when it comes to consider this immigration bill. which involves the barring out from this country of probably onequarter of a million unfortunate people in a year. will be in a position to understand what was said to the committee. The idea of having this bill brought ina bill covering about 60 printed pages. involving all sorts of technical and legal questionswithout having the human side of it presented at all seems to be wholly unfair to the House itself.
