Mr. Speaker. I voted against both resolutions providing for adjournment this afternoon. because I believe there is a great deal of legislation which this Congress should have written into law before adjourning. legislation such as the Boulder Dam bill. the bill to restrict the immigration of Mexicans. farm relief. abolishment of the "lameduck" session of Congress. Federal employee retirement liberalization. regulation of lobbyists. prohibition of tyrannical injunctions in labor disputes. modification of the Volstead Act. and complete investigation. of the administration of alien property. I sincerely hope that when Congress reconvenes in December the rules of this House will be liberalized so that a little powerful group of the Rules Committee will not control and prevent the House from considering legislation which committees have reported.
