If the Member from Brooklyn does not put that hammer on the open table so that all the Members may examine it thoroughly and make their own estimates of those who got hit over the head with that hammer. I will bend every effort to accomplish that end before this session ends. There will be ample time and opportunity afforded for this purpose when an immigration bill reaches the floor for action by the House. The immigration bill which I introduced on June 1. was geared to what I understood was a firm agreement that the Joint Committee would undertake immediate review of the policy implications of nonquota status for natives of the independent countries of the Western Hemisphere. I did not seek immediate repeal of that privileged status because of this firm agreement. With this unexpected and inexplicable turn of events the issue now remains open.
