They wrote me a letter declining to let fie see the comnissioners report. the first time that anything like that had happened in my eight years in Congress. I thought there was some mistake. and so I introduced a resolution of inquiry last August. Then I went to the chairman of the Committee on Immigration and said that I had no desire to spread- fallacious matters on the public record. and for him to have these things sent down to the House Committee on Immigration and let me look them over and let the members of the committee look. them over for information. That was not done. I called the attention of the chairman of the House Committee on Immigration to the matter at this session once or twice after that. In the meantime I had introduced a resolution asking that a copy of this investigation be sent to this House. Day before yesterday I brought up the resolution and the Speaker ruled that that particular resolution was not within the rules of the House. that it was not a resolution of inquiry.
