The difficulty that the Chair sees at this time with reference to the amendment is that it is in form so that if it should be agreed to. it would not b8 effective. and hence the question of gerinaneness is not necessarily involved in the gentlemans amendment. The resolution which the gentleman has before him proposes that subdivisions (b) and (e) of section 11 of the immigration law be amended in a certain fashion. The amendment offered by the gentleman from Illinois does not propose to change any word of the resolution before the committee. It proposes to change certain words or figures in the immigration act and. if amended. it would not change the form of the resolution that is before the committee. Therefore the Chair feels obliged to sustain the point of order as to the gentlemans amendment without at this time necessarily passing upon the question of germaneness.
