I am interested in the statement just made by the gentleman from Washington . I am one of five members of the subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations who handle the appropriation for the Department of Labor. and certainly no one has been more insistent than the gentleman from Washington In having the committee increase the appropriation for the deportation of aliens unlawfully here. and one reason why the committee and Congress has been slow to increase the appropriation is because we have had unsatisfactory information as to the number unlawfully here. The gentleman often comes before the committee to urge us to accept his ipse dixit as to the number. and yet we find that when some sane proposal is made for the purpose of taking at least a step in the direction of having a survey made. he rises to oppose such step. Concede that the information thus obtained may not be as reliable as the gentleman would like it to be. certainly it is in line with what he has insisted calls for legislation.
