Mr. President. the House amendment is to the immigration item that was put on the bill making appropriations for the Department of State and other departments. The House agrees to the Senate amendment with a limitation. The amendment. which is on page 90. in line 14. reads: (2) To board and search for aliens any vessel. railway car. conveyance. or vehicle. in which he believes aliens are being brought into the United States. After the word "vessel" the House inserted the words "within the territorial waters of the United States." It seems to me that is entirely proper. I doubt if a vessel could be searched outside of territorial waters even if we did not have that language in. it. so I think the Senate should concur In the amendment of the House.
