Mr. President. this resolution brings to the attention of the Senate another of the deportation suspension measures. They come about by reason of the specific law enacted by Congress which provides that when the Department of Justice suspends deportation of any alien in the United States. it must come to Congress for approval. Both Houses of Congress consider the suspension cases. They come. however. largely to the Senate because the Senate has a staff that can be assigned to a study of the subject. while the House of Representatives does not have a staff sufficient to give proper study to it. I draw to the attention of the Senate the fact that we are doing everything within our power to study the deportation suspension cases. Up to date we have held up approximately 10 percent of the names sent to us by the Department of Justice. I am not saying that 10 percent is to be regarded as a criterion.
