Mr. Chairman. I should like to point out to the gentleman from North Carolina that it is clearly stated in a brief submitted to the 84th Congress by the author of the bill. the distinguished gentleman from Virginia that. for example. in the area of immigration H.R. 3 is intended to overcome the results of the decision in the case of Hines against Davidowitz. a case which struck down a State alien registration statute. This decision. says the brief. is a good illustration of how the Smith bill would possibly affect decisions of the Supreme Court and at the same time preserve State rights. All I say is. let us make sure we know what we are doing.
