Speech #630131831

I want to say in support of this rule that no one can complain that it is unfair. The rule simply provides that there shall be seven hours for general debate on this bill and then that the bill shall be considered in Committee of the Whole House on thc state of the Union under the fiveminute rule. without limitation either as to the length of debate or the number of amendments that may be offered and considered. I make the statement here and now. without fear of successful contradiction. that no immigration bill and .few bills of any character have ever been presented to this House of Representatives under more liberal terms. The rights of the minority under this proposition are safely protected by an opportunity for full and liberal discussion and for amendment. In other words.
