They do not. and I think I can demonstrate that to the Chair in about two minutes. The language of the Senate is: That nothing in this act shall be construed to repeal any existing law. treaty. or agreement in so far as such law. treaty. or agreement serves to prohibit or restrict immigration into the United States or any possessions thereof. I called attention the other day to the fact that that language pertained only to legislation. and has no direct application to the person. Therefore It is dissimilar to the language inserted by the conferees. which was inserted for the express purpose. as the gentleman well said in his argument. of applying directly to the person. So there is no similarity between those two.
