I wish to say very frankly to the Senator that any amendment which would separate the black sheep from the white sheep would strengthen the bill. because to blanket into the country all these 2.862 cases is unfair to the American people. The bad thing about this bill is that in section 3 not only does it blanket in those who came into the United States illegally but it gives discretionary power to an interdepartmental committee for a period of 3 years. during which it may pass upon the cases of a million people which may come before the committee for decision as to deportation. I cannot bring myself to let any interdepartmental committee pass upon those cases after having read the record. I am going further into the matter mentioned sometime back by the Senator from Vermont. who has contributed very largely to this debate.
