In the city of New York. strange as it may seem. I imagine I have more people of German extraction in my district than any other district. and at the same time I have very few Jews in my district on the east side of New York City. strange as that may seem. The Rules Committee held hearings for several days on the resolution and then. after the most careful consideration in executive session. unanimously reported this Resolution 198. which had previously been unanimously reported by the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. The Rules Committee was particular to consider the advisability of bringing in this resolution solely from the standpoint of the interest of protecting our Government. The Rules Committee was not primarily concerned with anything pertaining to attacks on people of any race or religion. and especially such attacks as were alleged to have been committed in a foreign country.
