Order of Business No. 862 was reached. Senate bill 3698. It was a bill presented by the Senator from New York and reported unanimously by the Immigration Committee. It consisted of a single page. changing the section relating to treaty immigrants. In its place we substituted Order of Business 903. which was a House bill reading word for word the same. and none of us noticed that on the second page of the House bill there was printed a proviso which attempts to do away with or limit the treatymaking power of the President and the Senate in future treaties of commerce and amity. I know that it would not be fair to the Senate to let its action stand without asking to reconsider the action by which that bill was passed and to disagree to that House proviso.
