Mr. President. I merely want to say. with reference to the amendment offered by the Senator from Michigan. that the amendment is very fundamental to our immigration policy. There is considerable controversy between many Members of the Senate with relation to the application of the Administrative Procedure Act to the proposed immigration law. As a matter of fact. the point was gone into in great detail by the senior Senator from Illinois . and will be gone into subsequently by the Senator from Oregon . It is my considered judgment that the Administrative Procedure Act is substantially altered and limited by the provisions of the pending bill. It is also my understanding that under an appropriation act passed in the Eightyfirst Congress. a rider attached to the appropriation act exempts for all practical purposes the Immigration Service and the Justice Department from the provisions of the Administrative ProcedureAct. So the Senator from Michigan. in proposing the establishment of a Board of Appeals. is suggesting the granting of basic justice. The Senator from Nevada has suggested that there would be a great number of appeals.
