Mr. President. the measure under consideration is the amendment favorably reported from the Committee on Immigration in the nature of a substitute for Senate bill 2969. As a matter of record. I should like to call attention to a typographical error appearing on page 4. line 8: The figure there is "156." It should be corrected to be "155." The bill contains three essential provisions: To authorize the deportation of criminals. to guard against the separation from their families of aliens of the noncriminal class. and to provide for legalizing the residence in the United States of certain classes of aliens. The bill is not an immigration bill. As chairman of the Committee on Immigration. I had received considerable correspondence showing that there was much interest in legislation of this character. I therefore got in touch with the members of my committee and tried to arrange with them the dates when they could best attend hearings which would not conflict with other meetings they might feel it was important for them to attend.
