If you will do that..I believe you will support it. If you do not think we need this legislation. all right. vote it down. but you ought to give it the consideration to which It is entitled: It is entitled to be considered on its merits. If you do not think this problem of immigration and naturalization should be pretty carefully studied right now. then pass it up. Mr. Speaker. if I thought this legislation would provide in any way for a duplication of the work of the Dies committee. or any other committee. I would not support it. neither would I support a resolution for any kind of a snooping committee. I have a prejudice against snooping committees as such. As a minority member of the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. and during the past 5 years having had various groups offering all kinds of suggestions on the question of naturalization and immigration. due to problems that have arisen in recent years. I have come to the conclusion that some committee representing this Congress ought to have a little more authority and a little more leeway than our committee has at this time to go into this very important problem a little more thoroughly. Let me say. too.
