The bills are being introduced by request. I wish the RECORD to show. however. that in this case. as in the case of all private bills. -I have studied them sufficiently to satisfy myself that a prima facie case exists to justify a study of the bills by a committee. Some of the bills relate to immigration. I am certain that my colleagues in the Senate know that from time to time we are asked to introduce socalled private bills involving immigration rights. when the purpose is to get a stay of the deportation of the person concerned. I do not believe it is sound public policy to introduce such bills as dilatory tactics. so far as deportation is concerned. unless a Senator is convinced that a prima facie case exists justifying a stay. When I introduce such bills. as I am doing today. by request. I want the Senate to know that I am carrying out the policy of introducing the bills after satisfying myself that a prima facie case exists.
