It is not a job that is designed. as I have said before on this floor. to make friends among the Members. An objector is in the unfortunate and unhappy position sometimes of throwing bills off the calendar which are the particular property. so to speak. of individual Members. During the years I have served on the objectors committee there have been scores. yes. hundreds. of private immigration bills that have been brought to the floor of this House. either from the old Immigration Committee on which I served. or from the now Subcommittee on Immigration of the Committee on the Judiciary. It has been one of the very difficult problems of the objectors to discriminate among this multitude of priate immigration bills to discern which are worthy and which are unworthy. Unfortunately. there have been few legislative standards by which we could judge the merits or demerits of private immigration bills. Indeed it has become a difficult task at times. If this bill is passedand I believe It will beit will virtually eliminate the filing of private immigration bills and their consideration on the floor of the House. This. Mr.
