Mr. Chairman. I took that chance because it was the way I could bring that bill back before the body and get action on it. Fortunately the body acquiesced in the position we took that the border patrol was worth saving. We got about a 4to1 vote on the bill in our favor. But I took the chance of getting the twothirds or of losing a very important piece of legislation. It required a twothirds majority. So I think this nongermane solution here is certainly worth a trial. I do not know whether it will work or not. as my friend . the gentleman from California has said. but certainly I think we should try it.
