About 4 years ago the President recommended that a commission be created to study a revision of these laws. This commission. as I recollect. was composed of the Secretary of State. the Attorney General. and I believe the Secretary of the Navy. They agreed on and recommended a bill to the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. and that committee has spent nearly a year through its subcommittee in perfecting and strengthening the provisions of the bill. Right here I wish to commend and compliment the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization in its splendid work. and I wish to compliment especially the gentleman from Kansas. who has been the chairman of the subcommittee in charge of this work. He has devoted a great deal of time to this matter and has worked diligently and ably on it. He has prepared a report. which was submitted to the President. who also commended the painstaking efforts of the gentleman from Kansas. I hope that others on the left will follow his example. and when it comes to legislating in the interest of the Nation will show the same accord and unanimity that has been displayed by and within the Committee on Naturalization and Immigration. In view of the fact that there is no opposition to the bill. and that it comes to us with a unanimous report and is approved by various Departments. I shall not detain the House any longer.
