Speech #630271555

It was not a square repeal . but the motion to recommit included the undoing of that which the House had just done. In this case I do not propose that we undo one jot or one tittle of that which the House ordained when it adopted the Dupr6 amendment. I contend that we must not be estopped from offering the House an opportunity to increase the appropriation for the Immigration Service merely because of this technical intrusion on that particular part of the Dupr6 amendment which was adopted as a pure technicality solely in order to bring that amendment within the Holman rule. If such an interpretation of parliamentary laws is to obtain. you have added another to tile very inany shackles which prevent the House from exercising its right of amendment. I deplore the forging of a new shackle.
