I think my good friend from North Carolina. who wishes to be accurate and usually is accurate. misconceives the power and authority of the interdepartmental committee. The committee is provided for only because some persons objected to the Secretary of Labor alone acting upon these matters. as under the law the Secretary is compelled to act. and it was suggested by persons who are influenced in part by the philosophy which guides the Senator from North Carolina that perhaps it would be a little better to have two other members of the Department placed upon the interdepartmental committee. so that the discretion would not be left exclusively to one person. If the provision for the interdepartmental committee should be stricken out. the matter would. be left entirely with the Secretary of Labor. and it seems to me. with the Senators philosophy. that he ought to welcome that provision. because it would tighen rather than liberalize the laws with respect to deportation.
