I shall offer an amendment to strike section 2 from the bill. This section provides for a board of three members at a salary of $8.000 a year each. to be appointed by the President. The board is empowered to employ such clerks and stenographers as it deems necessary. They will not even be under civil service. Mr. Chairman. there is no need of this additional board. The Immigration Service could go right on and handle these cases. If appeals are to be taken. they should be taken to the courts and not to a politically appointed board or commission. It is just an unnecessary and additional expense.
