Mr. Speaker. this is a sad and dismal day for the great House of Representatives. This Is a black day in the annals of representative government In which this House Is about to bow to the whim and will of but one of its Members. in open defiance of the statutory requirements laid down in law as the responsibility of the Congress for regulating immigration into the United States. I say this because the conference report on the legislative appropriations bill brings the inexplicable news that this great deliberative body. this revered House which our late Speaker Sam Rayburn said he loved so much. has been victimized by one of its Members. the gentleman from Brooklyn and Mount Kisko. Congressman EMANUEL CELLER. It is a matter of record that the House on June 8. did pass. without a dissenting vote. the funds requested by the Joint Committee on Immigration and Nationality Policy in the amount of $120.000. Mr. CELLER did not oppose this request for funds in the House. either before the Appropriations Subcommittee or on the floor of the House.
