Speech #660082614

I maintain. that the lack of appropriation created the deficiency. because the law was enacted during the Sixtyfifth Congress. and now we are bound to- care for these men. in accordance.aith the. act. Otherwise we are not: true: to our obligati6ns we made at the time when we declared that they should be citizens. of the country. We are not issuing certificates... because- there is: no appropriation. to take care of them. The deficiency was not declared: by the Bureau of Naturalization. because the appropriation. was. not sufficient to take care of these matters. and they dismissed 167 clerks. and therefore they are! unable toi take care of these matters now.
