We have in three specific instances in this legislation written in safeguards for the American worker and for the American laboring man that are far more strict than the present law. As a matter of fact. in these three areas these are new and affirmative sections that have been put into the law or are suggested to be put into the law. Second. all that the gentleman from New York desires to do in legislation which is nominally under the control of the Department of Justice. and is in the field of immigration. is to insert a veto power over the actions of the Attorney General by the Secretary of Labor. If you will take the gentlemans amendment. and perhaps you do not have the present law before you. but if you would refer to page 52 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. subsection (c). you will find there verbatim the language of his amendment save for this one point. that he seeks to make a determination of the Attorney General subject to the approval of the Secretary of Labor. This is a bill which the Department of Justice has the responsibility of administering. It seems to me the Department of Justice has adequately administered this section of the bill in the past and the gentlemans amendment in that respect I believe to be unnecessary.
