President. it had been my purpose at the conclusion of the deliberations of the Senate tomorrow to read a brief paragraph from the Thanksgiving proclamations of President Washington in 1789. of Abraham Lincoln in 1863. of Woodrow Wilson in 1918. and of President Roosevelt a few days ago. and to ask the Senate to do the unaccustomed thing of joining with me in a brief prayer of thanksgiving to Almighty God for the land in which we live and for the people who live within it. Our purpose to recess over until Friday frustrates that little diversion in our Senatorial program. I wish to say for the information of the Senate that a recess will be taken until Friday. and then until Monday. Consideration of the pending bill will not be resumed until Monday. It may be possible that on Friday there will be consideration given to another bill which is on the calendar. but that will be determined between now and then. I refer to the measure dealing with the Chinese Exclusion Act. Mr. President.
