Chairman. I want to compliment the able gentleman from Texas on this bill. No Member of the House has been more active than he in promoting legislation to restrict immigration and to prevent the entrance of undesirable alien classes and get rid of those that are here. I feel that he has accomplished a result in this bill which entitles it to the support of reasonableminded men. while at the same time vesting a needed discretion in the Department of Labor. a discretion which must be lodged somewhere. to take care of the hardship cases. which has been hanging over both the Department and the Congress the past 5 or 6 years. Now. there is an opportunity presented to this Congress to relieve those cases. and God knows they need relief.
