May I point out. in addition. that every one of the 16 employees of the staff of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy has received a full investigation by the FBI at the request and direction of the joint committee. and no objection whatsoever was raised by the President or anyone else to those proceedings. and no "confusion or misunderstanding" arose in the exercise of this perfectly proper action. At this point I wish to call the attention of the Senate to another situation in which affirmative action. if you please. is directed and received. Under the Immigration Act of 1917. as amended December 8. 1942. in cases where the deportation of aliens has been suspended. the act requires that if after the report of the case and during the next session of the Congress. the two Houses resolve that the Congress does not favor such suspension. thenand here I quote the language of the lawThe Attorney General shall therefore deport such alien In the manner provided by law. Thereby placing in Congress the right to control and direct the action not of a subordinate agent of the Government but of the Attorney General. who is a member of the Presidents Cabinet. and the President raises no objection to that directive provision of the law. In the next to the last paragraph of the Presidents objections the President states: I fully recognize my obligation in exercising my constitutional duty of appointment to obtain the facts about any person nominated to serve as a member of the Atomic Energy Commission.
