Speech #670331679

I desire to have a unanimousconsent order entered making some committee assignments o1 this side of the Chamber. Since the close of the second session. on account of the death of former Senator Watson. of Georgia. and the election of the Senator from Delaware to fill a vacancy. there are two Senators on this side without committee assignments. The only connittee assignments that we had were those left by the death of Senator Watson. vacancies on the Committee On Civil Service. the Coinmittee on Claims. the Committee on Immigration. and the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads. To help us in the matter. and in order *that we might give both new Senators assignments. the senior Senator from Ohio has very kindly offered to resign from the Committee on the District of Columbia. I therefore ask that the resignation of the Senator from Ohio from the Committee on the District of Columbia may be accepted. and that a unanimousconsent order may be made assigning to the Senator from Geoigia the vacancies on the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads. the Committee o1 Immigration. and the Committee on Civil Service. and to the Senator from Delaware the vacancy on the Comnittee on the District of Columbia caused by the resignation of the Senator from Ohio and the vacancy on the Committee on Claims caused by the death of former Senator Watson. of Georgia.
