Then I wanted "Boy Scout executives " put in there. and they put this language in: "and Boy Scout executives who are accredited members of ". and so forth. That was a wise amendment that was put in there unanimously by the committee of which our distinguished colleague from New York [Mrs. ODAYI is an able member. Now. here is another objection I had. I objected to the words in the bill as Chairman DICKSTEIN introduced it. which read. "and members of the immediate families of all of the foregoing ". as ones also allowed to come here.
