Mr. Speaker. this resolution. which has been discussed by the leadership on both sides. is made necessary because of challenges to the constitutionality of certain sections of the Immigration and Naturalization Act and the Federal Natural Gas Policy Act. both of which acts provide for legislative review by either the House or the Senate and a socalled oneHouse veto of the regulations issued by the respective departments under the act. The constitutionality of these particular sections has been challenged. and unfortunately the department and the petitioner agree in one case that the act is unconstitutional. So if the position of the legislative branches is to be protected here. it is necessary that we authorize the Speaker to intervene as a party in the case.
