Speech #760222456

I was interested in the speech of the gentleman from Oklahoma . He. of course. gave some official information in regard to the problems of the Department of Justice. I commend him for his activity. but I think it Is only proper to let the House and the country know that yesterday the President of the United States asked the Appropriations Committee. through the Speaker. to include in the deficiency bill an emergency appropriation of $6.558.800 for the Department of Justice. part for the enforcement of the immigration laws. and $3.358.800 of the amount is to go to the Bureau of Investigation for additional personnel. It seems to me this should be evidence of the desire of the President to vigorously attack the class that the gentleman from Oklahoma referred to. The printed copy of the Presidents letter has just been received by the Appropriations Committee. and I hold one in my hand.
