Mr. Chairman. the amendment which I offered last evening before adjournment. which is now pending. has for its purpose the securing of admission into the United States of the minor children of citizens of the United States who would be otherwise admissible under the immigration laws of the United States. The amendment was drawn containing language which was technically and strictly unnecessary. but I used the language in order to make its meaning perfectly plain. supposing that we were going to vote upon it last evening. I have since had a consultaticn with the gentleman from Washington . and he accepts the amendment substantially as I introduced it. but to be inserted at another place. Gentlemen will recall section 4 of the bill. which provides: That the provisions of this act are in addition to and not in substitution for the provisions of the immigration laws. The amendment which I desire acted upon is in the language which I now send to the Clerks desk. and I ask unanimous consent to withdraw the amendment which I offered last evening.
