Yes. I had not yet reached that point. Since the original proceedings against Harry Bridges were instituted by the Department of Labor. the Congress has enacted into law what Is known as the Smith bill. which adds to the grounds of deportation of aliens from the United States. The Department of Justice at the present time is going into this entire matter to ascertain whether .or not this alien is deportable under the provisions of the socalled Smith bill. which is more commonly referred to as the bill for the registration of aliens. A great many legal questions are involved in this case. I shall not weary the Senate by undertaking to discuss all of them at this time. but I do say that it is a most unusual procedure. when a committee of the Senate has conducted a careful investigation of all the issues involved in a bill. to attempt at this late hour to amend the pending bill by a provision which. while it may be indirectly related to the subject matter of the bill. certainly has no direct bearing upon it and will result in overthrowing the action of the Senate committee which reported the substitute bill.
