Mr. LHeureux. Chief of the Visa Division of the State Department. and Mr. Shaunessy. the Assistant Commissioner. this committee was advised that they were operating in violation of the provisions of the Administrative Procedures Act. Despite the fact that they knew what they were doing. they continued with their practice until the Supreme Court of the United States struck down one of their deportation orders. I want you to bear in mind the fact that not one penny of money is involved in this amendment that I have just offered. Sixtyfive members of the staff of the Bureau of Immigration were engaged in conducting hearings. When the proposal to strike out the applicable provisions of the Administrative Procedures Act was made to the Appropriations Committee the representative of the Immigration Service testified that because of the decision of the Supreme Court 80 more examiners would be required. making a total of 145 examiners. That is not the fact. There is no reason in the world why 65 men who have been conducting these hearings cannot continue to conduct them and to conduct them in compliance with the provisions of the law.
