We struck out the amendment against which the point of order had been made. and the report of the conference committee. which was a unanimous report signed by all the members of the conference. went back again to the House. The House has again taken up the report of the conference committee and voted down the amendment in regard to passports and vis~s. . I have not had time to read the debate with any thoroughness. but I gather that the vote against the amendment put on by the Senate and accepted by the House conferees went largely on the ground that we must not tax inconing immigrants and e that. we must do nothing. as I understand it. which would restrict or interfere~with immigration. The bill has come back. and the action of the House has just been laid before the Senate with that amendment disagreed to 0 by the House. I wished to make this statement to the Senate because I think the question involved is of some importance. and I wished the Senate to know the reason why the bill has come back a second time.
