Speech #710175578

That is the Senate bill 1278. introduced by the Senator from South Carolina . to authorize the issuance of certificates of admission to aliens. A similar bill was passed by the Senate during the last Congress. The measure was reintroduced in the present Congress. and reported from the Committee on Immigration on February 18 last. Some objection was raised to it. and it was recommitted to the Committee on Immigration on the same day. but I am advised that this morning at a meeting of the committee the bill was ordered favorably reported to the Senate. I ask leave to include in the RiccoiD the text of the bill and a copy of the report made upon an almost identical measure during the last Congress.
