If your Committee on Immigration and Naturalization can in preparing a nationality code draw from at least six titles in the United States Code. there is no earthly reason why any other committee which seeks to codify the laws coming within its jurisdiction cannot draw from all the titles of the United States Code. including even the pending bill which you will probably enact today. So I say that the result of it is going to be that we will have confusion worse confounded by individual and separate efforts to codify the laws of the United States. I submit to the House that what should be done and what should have been done in this case is that the nationality code or any other revision of any of the existing laws or statutes of the United States should have been referred to the standing committee of this House which has been constituted for that sole purpose. and under the jurisdiction of that committee any codification or even any revision might be taken.
