It has been said on the floor today that the officials of the department. the heads of the department. have not asked for this additional appropriation. I do know that Secretary Doak told me that the service would be greatly impaired unless the deficiency bill did provide additional funds. Commissioner Corsi. at Ellis Island. also told me that he did not know how he could not only meet the requirements of the service but properly and safely man and operate the immigration station at Ellis Island with this additional reduction. Therefore. as a matter of public interest. I feel that it is absolutely necessary to provide the additional funds.
