Speech #710166223

I should like to explain briefly my reasons for the two votes. I am satisfied that the bill can not be enacted into law between now and 2 oclock. A vote for the motion made by the Senator from Georgia to devote the time between now and 2 oclock to the discussion of the measure merely meant that the bills on the remainder of the calendar would not be considered. It is utterly impossible to expect the Senate of the United States in less than two hours of the morning hour to enact an immigration bill. particularly this bill as now presented to the Senate.
