Speech #640198519

The difference the Senator makes is. in fact. no difference at all. I use the terms "conference" and "caucus" indiscriminately. The chairman of our conference was directed to Interview the Senator from New Hampshire. chairman of the Republican caucus. with a view to seeing if an agreement could not be made to take up the immigration bill the first thing at the next session of Congress in December. and make it the unfinished business. and keep it the unfinished business until It was disposed of. That resolution was agreed to at a vote in our conference. Then later. it was proposed that if an agreement of that kind could not be made with the Republican side. that the conference pledged itself on its own account. as a party organization. to put the bill forward at the beginning of the session next December. and make it the unfinished business. and keep it as such until. it was disposed of. whether our friends on the other side consented or not.
