Mr. President. a few weeks ago rl offered a resoIntion which was referred to the Committee on Ilmigration. calling for an investigation of the conduct of immigration officials and agents along the Mexican border. The resolution particularly asked for an investigation in regard to the murder of General Torres amid the connection of the immigration officials therewith. I denounced the death of Torres as a cowardly murder. and. in effect. that either the tfnnllgration officials in Washington or the Immigration agents upon the Mexican border were in part responsible for his death. Before briefly referring to the subject matter of the resolution. I desire to make an observation growing out of the criticisms appearing from time to time in various newspapers of the action of Congress in conducting investigations of executive departments and agencies and of various officials of the Government.
