October 3. The Department of Justice had similar difficulty in having a witness cleared to appear before the committee. As a consequence. it was necessary for the Subcommittee on Immigration and Nationality to cancel future hearings since it would serve no useful purpose to have department witnesses appear before the committee with their hands tied and unable to state their endorsement or opposition to the proposed amendments or to offer appropriate changes. The proposed changes in law affect the labor certification which. since the 1965 amendments. has been the heart of our immigration policy. The lack of interest in the Bureau of the Budget to respond to comments on these proposals is not only an insult to the Congress but demonstrates the complete disregard for effective Government cooperation. The job of passing the buck that this administration is trying to put over on the American people is to be much admired.
