Speaker. I wish to advise the House that Subcommittee No. 1 of the Judiciary Committee will continue in June its hearings on my bill. H.R. 981. to revise immigration procedures for natives of the Western Hemisphere. These hearings will be held on June 6. 7. 13. and 14. 1973 in room 2237 Rayburn House Office Building and will begin each day at 10 a.m. On June 6. the Department of Labor will be invited to testify on the labor certification program and we are hopeful that they will provide specific legislative recommendations with respect to section 212(a) (14) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. It is my understanding that they have declined to appear on two earlier occasions but an additional opportunity has been provided for their appearance. since the subcommittee is most anxious to receive their views. In addition. on June 6. a representative of the Immigration and Nationality Lawyers Association who is intimately familiar with the operation of the labor certification requirement has been scheduled to appear. On June 7. testimony will be received from the Department of Justice on this legislation. On June 13. the Department of State will resume its testimony concerning the refugee provision contained in section 9 of H.R. 981. Finally. on June 14. testimony will be received from public witnesses and other interested who may wish to appear.
