Speech #630378256

I wish to make just a few observations. I think the provision in this bill excludes any person with any physical defects. I desire to ask the chairman if it is not his understanding that the provision which we now have under consideration simply means that a person may have an affliction and yet. if he is able to earn a living. the Commissioner of Immigration or the Secretary of Labor may permit such a person to enter. That was my understanding when this provision was discussed. and I should like to ask the chairman of the committeeif I correctly understand it. -I will put my inquiry in another form. When this provision was taken up I understood that it was simply a limitation.
