I do not criticize the Appropriation Committee at all. Its members are all hardworked. but their work lets up occasionally. I say in all seriousness that the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization has reached a position of great importance. and it will continue to be important for years to come. Its different members should not be asked to serve on two or three other committees each. If it is necessary to do it -by a special rule. this House should provide the Immigration Committee with an assistant clerk. not a political clerk at all. not a personal clerk to the chairman. but a yearinandyearout assistant clerk to assist in the technical affairs of the committee. with a view to his remaining there permanently. whether this House have a Republican or Democratic majority. That would be only fair to Congress and to the Government. We should put in such an assistant clerk.
