He perjured himself. That he was convicted of a bastardy charge. The Senator from Utah is a member of the Committee on Immigration. and that time. as I recall. he was sitting with the chairman of the Committee on Immigration. the Senator from Massachusetts . The Senator from Utah asked the question: "Those 2.800 deported are not habitual criminals and are not tainted with any acts of conduct which would make them unfit for citizenship?" Commissioner MacCormack. who was on the stand. answered under oath: "Absolutely not." What in the world did Commissioner MacCormack mean? Commissioner MacCormack was before the Senate Committee on Immigration. Commissioner MacCormack. I assume. had been sworn. I assume Commissioner MacCormack was testifying under oath. If he was not under oath. at least he was testifying. and. regardless of whether or not the oath had been administered to him. he was supposed to tell the truth. the whole truth. and nothing but the truth. because the Senate Committee on Immigration was sitting as a body for the purpose of getting sufficient information on which intelligently to pass upon this most important legislation. Commissioner MacCormack answered: "Absolutely not." He said "absolutely not." That is what he told the Senate committee. He said none of them were tainted.
