Speech #690007828

Of these only 21 were used. and they were used by only 15 committees of the House. At the time of adjournment the call rested with the twentythird committee. Thus only about one committee out of three of the House was able to avail itself of the purpose of the rule about Calendar Wednesday. It is true that in the first third of the list are many of the important committees. but farther down were these. which are not altogether unimportant. that had no opportunity to be heard on Calendar Wednesday: Education. Labor. Patents. the Civil Service. Irrigation and Reclamation. Immigration and Naturalization. Census. Roads.
