I am delighted to hear that. I will modify my statement and say any other gentleman in the House under like circumstances would be interested under these conditions I think we may recognize the fact that to restrict the selection of artists to those who have taken out naturalization papers or who were born in this country might result at times in our securing an inferior grade of artistic skill. I do not feel that your Committee on the Library should thus be hampered in getting the most beautiful works of art that they can secure. Therefore if the gentleman should insist upon his position and refuse consent to consideration of this bill. I would have to look for some later opportunity to find out What the House may think in the matter.
