In a minute. Let us briefly review the history of this bill. The gentleman from Ohio was a member of the Committee on Immigration back in 1931. In those days both Republicans and Democrats on that committee found themselves troubled with complicated immigration and naturalization laws that contained many loopholes. The committee at that time voted unanimously to call upon the President to ask the departments to study this question. Accordingly. in April of 1933. the President issued an Executive order. which I will incorporate in my remarks. directing the State Department. the Attorney General. and other departments to make a complete study of this whole question.
