Chairman. as I said. this amendment was originally defeated in the Committee on Immigration. at all events according to the records and according to my memory. At a subsequent meeting. when it was adopted. I doubt whether the committee fully realized the full bearing of all these three amendments. The other two are well enough. I do not like them. but they are well enough. It seems to me. however. Mr. Chairman. that if the period that this sword of Damocles is to be suspended over wellmeaning immigrants -is to be extended froim three to five years. we shall be doing a cruel thing.
