So we said. "All right. if there are any windows open. let us shut them." Therefore. it was concluded. with the assent of my able friend. the chairman of the Judiciary Committee. that we would adopt the Hickenlooper text on the theory that we were going a little further by way of protective device than had been suggested to us through the Judiciary Committee. The chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee thought everything was Placid and settled and that all controversy had been eliminated. when he discovered to his consternation that the able Senator from West Virginia and one or two of his associates decided that the Senator from Iowa had left an attic window open. It is my understanding that finally the amendment submitted by the Senator from Iowa is satisfactory to all those who are undertaking to make it indubitably plain that this joint resolution has nothing whatsoever to do with our immigration. So far as I am concerned. inasmuch as I understand that the amendment applies to the text of the pending joint resolution and its restrictions are related to the business in hand. I have said that I am perfectly willing to substitute the amendment submitted by the Senator from West Virginia. In any event. I should like to make it as plain as I have failed to make it for the last 4 weeks of "lawyer trouble"-I should like to make it as plain as possible that there is nothing intended in this joint resolution to affect one single comma in our own immigration laws.
