Mr. Speaker. I am not familiar exactly with the way the motion to recommit is written. but the whole mutter seems to me to resolve itself into this simple proposition: The Senate struck out all after the enacting clause of the House bill dealing with the restriction of immigration and substituted an entirely new text as one amendment. Of course. a great part of the text was the same as the House bill. But the whole subject matter was in conference between the conferees. Now. under the rules of the House. where the conferees have met under this condition they were authorized to inject new matter that is germane as the Speaker. in my judgment. correctly ruled this morning.
