The language to which I call attention. Mr. Chairman. purports to write something new in the annals of immigration law. namely. it prohibits any suggestion or advice being given by the Secretary of Labor or any agencies or employees of the Department of Labor to any person. even including a Member of Congress. who seeks to clarify the status of an alien in his own district. The language reads: No part of any appropriation for the Immigration and Naturalization Service shall be expended for any expense incident to any procedure by suggestion or otherwise. Any procedure! In other words. any suggestion that would clarify the status of an alien. or clarify the status of a citizen for that matter. if the Chair please. dealing with his naturalization. would be a violation of the law for the Department to give. I respectfully submit that examination of the act of 1924 will disclose the policy here sought to be established as diametrically opposite to existing practice.
