Mr. Speaker. on January 27 of this year I announced that hearings on immigration legislation would start on February 16. 1965. That announcement was made after I had discussed the date with the gentleman from New York. Chairman CELLER. and he expressed no objection to that date. Since that announcement. Chairman CELLER has scheduled hearings before the full Judiciary Committee on presidential inability. which causes a conflict with the date I had previously announced for the start of immigration hearings. It now appears those hearings by the full Judiciary Committee will continue through the week of February 15. In view of this development. hearings on immigration legislation will be delayed until hearings are completed on presidential inability. A definite date will be announced as soon as circumstances permit.
