Let me add that as chairman of the subcommittee I have been denied the right to select staff members of my choice since the gentleman from New York [Mr. CELLZRI reserves that authority exclusively for himself. As subcommittee chairman I have no authority to use the power of subpena. another authority reserved exclusively by the gentleman from New York . These two impediments do not burden my task as chairman of the joint committee. Moreover. the staff of the subcommit.tee is preoccupied with private bills and other daytoday business of the subcommittee. There are over 2.000 private immigration bills presently pending in the House Subcommittee on Immigration. More than 90 percent of these bills originated in this House. This is a heavy burden for the subcommittee to carry.
