Mr. Chairman and members of the committee. your chairman of the House Committee on Immigration and Naturalization has been embarrassed many times and in many ways. not only at home but elsewhere. as well as in the deliberations of the committee. by this nationalorigins clause of the 1924act. The plan is not easily understood. It is true that the House committee. in passing the 1924 restrictive immigration act. resisted the insertion of the nationalorigins clause. which was a Senate proposal. Gentlemen will remember while we were driving for the permanent law in 1924. to replace the temporary quota law of 1921. which was to expire on June 30. 1924. we had to work with considerable speed. Some 20 days were spent in conference between Senate and House. Oriental exclusion and other serious matters held the boards.
