And It was rather an intensive acquaintance. on its professional side. because for six years I served on two committees with that most industrious Congressman. Those committees. Immigration and Naturalization. and Public Lands. were exceedingly active during all of that time. The Committee on Immigration and Naturalization passed the 1920 amendments to the exclusion act. the two acts for the percentage restriction of immigration. and the act for the separate citizenship of married women. This legislation marked a complete change in the traditional policy of our Government on a matter as vital to the Republic as any that has ever been considered by this Congress. a matter that goes to the determination of what shall be the blood of this Nation through all the centuries to come. The Committee on the Public Lands during this period considercd and secured the passage of the oilleasing bill. involvIng a change in our former policy with regard to the use of the natural resources of the public domain. many bills relating to the landed and mineral wealth of the United State and a great mass of private mind local bills.
