If Senators will look at the report which accompanies Senate bill 2969 (Rept. No. 1156). they will find a brief summary of what the bill undertakes to do. Section 1 of the bill authorizes the deportation of additional classes of aliens. those who violate the narcotic statutes of States. who carry guns. and that sort of thing. Then the next section requires the concurrence of the interdepartmental committee to pass judgment on the matter. and under section 3 that committee may permit an alien subject to deportation under the present law to remain in the United States if he has lived here 10 years or more. if he has in the United States near relatives who are either citizens or legal residents. and the section precludes the exercise of this authority where the alien is deportable as one of the socalled radical classes. Section 4 permits an alien under a temporary status to change to a status of permanent residence if he possesses the requisite qualifications by reason of relationship to a citizen. and so forth. Section 5 permits the registration of aliens who entered the United States prior to July 1. 1924. which has been contended for for years as an important matter.
