Mr. Speaker. this bill is one of a group which the Department of Labor submitted to the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization through its chairman. with a request that early enactment be effected. Hence the committee takes no credit for authorship of this bill or of the other bills. consideration of which has been requested this afternoon. I understand that these bills are the result of a study made during the past year by a committee of 48 distinguished citizens of the United States selected by the Secretary of Labor for their nonpartisan viewpoints. who were aided by the technicians of the Immigration and Naturalization Service in the Department of Labor. Let me say at this point that considerable commendation is due to the Secretary of Labor. the Honorable Frances Perkins. for her sincere efforts to secure a true picture of the real facts regarding any humanizing changes that may be necessary in our laws which relate to the aliens within our gates or who seek tO come here to join relatives who have been admitted to our country. Equal commendation is due. for his efforts toward the same ends. to our very able Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization. Col. D.
